...erver are underloaded. So my question is: why are oplocks on by default ? Wouldn't it be safer to turn them off by default and specify under which circumstances they might give the performance improvements that justify their adoption ?

I am being asked to determine the feasibility of serving hundreds (300-400) of directories as individual shares instead of sharing a single parent directory. Personally, I don't think this is a good idea. Clients will go from having a single connection to a single share to 50-300 connections to multiple shares. That can't be good for performance or load.

Hi all, I have a problem with samba : I can create files, but can't create directories. The server has many shares, on seperated disks. We consider two of them : one 2Tb share and one share with more than 7Tb. Samba configuration is good, and works on many other servers, and on this one except for the large share. Permissions are correctly setted up too. I can read/write files and

Hallo, I'm running a W2K AD network with about 20 clients (mostly Windows XP machines, some Ubuntu 10.04 clients). I also have a couple of samba servers (debian 5) which are joined to the domain. I need to upgrade from W2K to something which is not EOL. The AD server is also a print server for the domain. I only have about 20 user accounts, so recreating them from scratch would be not
