Hello, Has anyone done any performance comparisons with other protocols? SMB <--> PCNFS <--> NFS I'm interested if SMB (ie: Samba) has any performance issues. Anyone have any statistics or know of how to go about doing such tests? Would appreciate any input. Thanx. --Joe

The HP OpenView documentation recommends the use of PCNFS for connecting Windows-based (Management Consoles) to the HP OpenView databases on a UNIX-based (Management Server) system. However, I thought it would be neat if I could use SAMBA instead of having to install PCNFS on all of the NT systems. Anyway, the SAMBA installation went fine, and I can con...

Hello people. We have an OLD version of Samba linking a Sun running SunOS 4.1.3 with PCs running Windows 95. Both Samba and the OS are to be upgraded in the next couple of months but until that ahppens we have a problem that I would like some advice on. The problem is the list of defined printers in Windows disappears every now and then. It does not happen for all PCs simultaneously, or

We are moving from a PCNFS client to SMB client environment and hence moving from NFS for our Sun fileservers to Samba. I have seen figures indicating Samba is as good NT for SMB service. However what we are concerned with is: a) relative performance of Samba vs Sun's NFS b) loading on servers with lots of active...

Hi! I use samba 1.9.18p3 on Solaris 2.5.1 and am I glad to have it! I have configured samba to create one log file per machine so log.smb used to be empty. A couple of days ago I noticed that log.smb had grown to about 70KB. It only says: "Can't create or use semaphore No space left on device". Now since "df -k" tells me that all of my file systems have enough space

Dear All, We are in the process of evaluating Samba to provide SMB access to unix file storage for a few hundred PC's. One of our tests is to save a Word97 document - something that has caused various PCNFS clients problems in the past. While saving the document the client stopped and said something like connection lost, or seesion closed, and the drives mapped from the samba box disappeared. Unfortunately, I wasn't doing the test and I can't remember exactly what the error dialog said. Th...

...y of our database problems as per the fixed bug list for 2.2.4 and 2.2.5, but we were still seeing these 30 second random lantencies when opening particularly office/MS project documents. We also had certain files which would consistently have delays of around 30 seconds yet opening it up on a PCNFS share worked fine. So there were still oplock problems in 2.2.5. There is a mention of batch oplock deadlock problems where a request to break an oplock passes a SMBtrans2 QUERY_PATH_INFO and neither windows nor samba will process the request until the other repiles. A patch was placed in 2.2.6...
