Hello list, we have a small NAS-Box here in our office, running Linux 2.6.13 and Samba 3 (exactly version string is not avalilable for me at moment). Is there a limit, how many files samba will store in one folder? We recognize a massive CPU-Load of the smbd-process, when accessing a folder which stores round about 60 000 small text-files. Is this a samba-Limit or a bug? The kernel and samba is

...conds per file ... and the CPU utilization on the server goes up near 100%. If I delete files out of that directory directly on the box then it goes very quickly so it seems like this is definitely a Samba issue. I tried the suggestions on this page: http://mirrors.uol.com.br/pub/samba/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO But that didn't make any difference either. I also put together a Linux test box (1.5GHz P4, Ubuntu Dapper Beta 7, Samba 3.0.22, ext3 file system) and the performance issue is not present on that platform. -Claus ____________________________________________ Claus Lund Systems Developer...
