[Samba] Any Known Share limitations or performance issues with large file systems
All, I am running samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1.x86_64.rpm on RHEL 5 x64. I am sharing out approximately 7TB via samba and a 'few' of my users are complaining of latency when accessing their shares via Windows Explorer. Mind you the disk is about 93% full which I am sure is a factor but before I go into battle I wanted to make sure there were no known limitations or issues. Thanks in advance

Many as in thousands? What file system is this? Volker -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You may want to try switching to the deadline I/O scheduler. I had issues with slow directory listings using the CFQ scheduler when the server was under even the slightest load. I tried tweaking some of the CFQ settings but ultimately gave up as I could never beat the responsiveness of the deadline scheduler.
