Hi! I have moved our samba configuration to a new hardware. Old config: PII 266 MHz 96MB memory RedHat 7.2 20Gb ide hard drive for samba shares samba-*-2.2.7-3.7.2 packages installed kernel-2.4.20-28.7 New config: P4 2.4GHz 512MB memory RedHat 9.0 60GB scsi hard drive for samba shares and OS 40GB ide hard drive for backups samba-*-2.2.7a-8.9.0 packages installed kernel-2.4.20-28.9 There is a backup script running from cron which create daily incremental and (full on friday) backups from samba shares (>6GB/share) using smbtar. On the new config this script runs much slower. I can not figure it out what could be the problem.I have recompiled samba-2.2.7a package from srpm but nothing has changed. Same with samba-2.2.8a. Output of backup script on PII config: 538112 ( 3981.1 kb/s) 23040 ( 3214.3 kb/s) 56320 ( 3928.6 kb/s) 27648 ( 3000.0 kb/s) 314368 ( 3837.5 kb/s) 17920 ( 2916.7 kb/s) 249344 ( 3927.4 kb/s) 27648 ( 3000.0 kb/s) 18432 ( 3000.0 kb/s) Output of backup script on P4 config: 37888 ( 146.2 kb/s) 63488 ( 73.8 kb/s) 59392 ( 92.1 kb/s) 29184 ( 67.9 kb/s) 24576 ( 114.3 kb/s) 97280 ( 74.9 kb/s) 137216 ( 79.7 kb/s) 56320 ( 87.3 kb/s) 36352 ( 84.5 kb/s) 88451 ( 82.3 kb/s) 96256 ( 74.7 kb/s) 62464 ( 72.5 kb/s) 606180 ( 76.2 kb/s) 21071 ( 98.5 kb/s) Any help would be appreciated.

As you not only upgraded Samba, but the whole OS, I would look for issues like network-config, duplexing and such first. How fast is your standard copy-to-samba-share for instance? -- It is nice to tell us about your shiny new hardware, but this is obviously not your bottleneck. Maybe it is just your new NIC set to halfduplex-10mbit ---- ;) In short words, this might not be a Samba-topic at all. Look for basic network-config first. -- best regards, Stefan G.

I have removed SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 settings from socket_options. It helped. I hope it's not having any side effect.> ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Stefan G.
