samba - May 2006 - Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDBand XLS files.

Daniel,

I am running Debian-sarge as well.  I have one samba server that serves as my
PDC and one samba server that is a domain member server.

Now, I'm a newbie, still learning, and I probably wouldn't know if the
performance on our servers is good or not.  So, please take this for what it is
worth (probably not much).  I have only  7-10 XP clients that access these
servers, and folks are not complaining about the performance.  It's been
awhile since I setup my PDC, but I remember scouring the Samba Command Option
Quick Reference for recommendations, and here are the performance settings that
I am using:

; ******************************
; Performance Settings
; ******************************
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
oplocks = yes
strict locking = no
hide dot files = yes
wide links = yes
follow symlinks = yes
read raw = yes
write raw = yes

hope this helps.

regards,
scott
