We are using SAMBA 2.0.2 on a LINUX-System (Pentium 133, 128 RAM, 22 GB RAID-1 SCSI U2W Disk Array, SUSE 6.0). We suffer from low performance when starting Applications from a SAMBA-share. Starting the application takes about twice as a long compared to a WinNT-Server on similar Hardware. We tried all the tweaks from Speed-Text without any results. Is it possible that the reason for the low performance lies in the Software RAID that we are using? Also looking through a tcpdump generated during the startup of the application, there are always these errors: SMB PACKET: SMBtrans (REPLY) .... SMBError = ERROR: Unknown error (5,32768) and SMB PACKET: SMBgetatr (REPLY) ... SMBError = ERRDOS - ERRbadfile (File not found.) Are these errors common?
