Hello Everyone,
I have been working with two samba servers and i am having problems with
the copy speed that i am getting out of the boxes. This is my setup.
Dell 450MHZ
128 Mem
2 qlogic fiber cards
1.6T software raid 5/LVM
Netgear 10/100 @ 100FD
RedHat 7.3
samba 3.0.2a
another box is a
Compaq 2500 200MHZ
32 Mem
12G software RAID 0 3 drives
Intel Pro 100 @ 100FD
Debian 3.0
Samba 2.2.8a-0.1 for Debian
I can copy a 626.9 MB file from Dell box to the Compaq via ftp and get
3-4 MB/s NFS i get 4-5 MB/s Samba i am getting 1.8-2.0 MB/s. I have
tried several options in the config file on the samba server and nothing
seems to want to speed this thing up. Here is the config file that i am
using
[global]
workgroup = edtopia
server string = Samba Server
security = DOMAIN
update encrypted = Yes
obey pam restrictions = Yes
password server = master
username map = /etc/samba/users.map
log level = 5
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
announce version = 5.0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
preferred master = No
local master = No
dns proxy = No
idmap uid = 10000-40000
idmap gid = 10000-40000
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind separator = +
winbind cache time = 60
inherit permissions = Yes
[backup]
comment = Backup Service
path = /backup
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
Mount command on machine is
mount -t smbfs -o username=edmann,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 //trinity/backup
/smb
Any advice on speeding this up. The windows servers that we have are
doing faster transfers. I need to pull between 50-120Gig files off my
samba server and at this speed it is making me look bad.
Thanks for any help.

The settings in smb.conf don't affect the behavior of it (AFAIK). Think about changing over to cifs. http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html Less limitations ... -- best regards, Stefan G.
