Hi,
I've noticed this type of issue has been raised a few times, but I
haven't been able to find a solution yet.
I'm having transfer performance issues from various clients to my new
file server :
Server config is :
Athlon 3200+ on Nforce 2
Yukon Gb NIC
Gentoo with 2.6.9
samba 3.0.7-r1 ebuild
3Ware Escalade 9500S-12 x 2
Clients are XP SP2,2K3 on similar hardware and G5s with OS X 10.3, all
with Gb NICs on Cat6, and all of which are transferring like dogs ;(
smbmount from server to 2003Server transfers ok, but one directory with
~2500 files appears as empty! Also, my old G4 w/Os X 10.2 is
transferring ok also... go figure.
# hdapram -t /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 268 MB in 3.01 seconds = 88.96 MB/sec
During transfer smdb reports only 0.7 %cpu or thereabouts. Various
changes to the socket options have not yielded any results. Winbind is
authenticating ok and I can't see anything in any of the logs which
would indicate a catastrophic problem.
smb.conf :
[global]
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
netbios name = VAULT
workgroup = DOMAIN
realm = DOMAIN.LOCAL
security = ADS
password server = dc.domain.local
wins server = dc.domain.local
dns proxy = no
wins proxy = no
encrypt passwords = yes
idmap uid = 10000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind gid = 10000-20000
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind separator = +
os level = 20
preferred master = no
log level = 1
max log size = 50
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
[vault]
comment = Big Thing
writeable = yes
path = /mnt/vault
force user = vaultuser
valid users = DOMAIN+"Power Users"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Simon
