Does this setting depend on the amount of RAM installed? If so, what would the recommended setting be for an Intel based SMP box with 256MB RAM running RedHat 6? -----from a message Jeremy Allison posted---- b). What will give the most performance benefit is to tell Linux to use most of main memory for file cache and to keep it in memory for a long time. To do this add the line : echo "80 500 64 64 80 6000 6000 1884 2" >/proc/sys/vm/bdflush to your rc.local. This tells Linux to use 80% of memory for file system cache and to keep it around for as long as possible. Are there any recommended Samba tweaks other than these? -----from a message that Juan Carlos Castro y Castro posted----- socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 read prediction = yes debug level = 0 ;yeah, explicit - the default seems not to be 0 Thanks, Paul
