Poor performance with Mac OS X Panther clients
...return packet from the server with the listing of the
directory contents whereas the Mac OS X Finder client appears to be
doing a FIND_FIRST2 call for every file, including metadata files, in
the directory. This would seem to be supported by a strace of the smbd
process which shows tons and tons of getdents32 calls.
My gut says that this is a problem with OSX's Finder and not Samba but,
understandably, my client doesn't care...they just want it fixed. Is
there a known work-around for the performance issue with Mac OS X Finder
clients? Do I need to tweak something on the server? On the client?...
