Im running a linux fiel server with RH 8.0 and Samba,
acting as a PDC. 40 clients (Win98/2000) use an application
that is based on Foxpro and Paradox tables, which are stored
in the server (Contabilidad and CRT shares).
The problem is the following: with samba 2.2.8, everything worked fine.
But when we updated to 3.0.2a, the perfomance dicreased a lot. Its really
slow. Apart from that, the .dbf files started to corrupt oftenly.
The smb.conf has not been changed.
Why is this happening??
Here i post a part of my smb.conf file:
[global]
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
domain master = Yes
encrypt passwords = Yes
logon home = \\%L\%U
server string = Samba PDC running %v
logon script = login.bat
veto oplock files
/*.dbf/*.DBF/*.cdx/*.CDX/*.db/*.DB/*.Y??/*.y??/*.XG?/*.xg?/*.MB/*.mb/*.VAL/*.val/*.PX/*.px/*.mdb/*.MDB/*.lck/*.LCK/
workgroup = SMBAR
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
os level = 64
directory mask = 0770
printcap name = /etc/printcap
preferred master = Yes
domain admin group = @admins
domain logons = Yes
log level = 1
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
force group = admins
read only = No
force create mode = 0770
browseable = No
[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home/netlogon
write list = @admins
browseable = No
browseable = No
[CRT]
comment = CRT
path = /home/captacion/tmkt
admin users = @admins
write list = @admins, @gr_crt
force group = gr_crt
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0775
browseable = No
dont descend = contabilidad ccvd
[contabilidad]
comment = contabilidad
path = /home/captacion/tmkt
admin users = @admins
read list = @admins, @gr_crt
write list = @gr_contabilidad
force group = gr_contabilidad
browseable = No
dont descend = crt
One last note: we have already tried with level2 oplocks = false
and kernel oplocks = false, but it was useless
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

A couple of thing that will affect your performance are: getwd cache = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=65536 SO_RCVBUF=65536 IPTOS_LOWDELAY use sendfile = no lock spin time = 15 lock spin count = 100 Regards Gerald Drouillard http://convert2samba.com
