similar to: Performance Optimizations for Samba on Linux

Hi all. I know this has probably been asked before, but I need a quick answer, and didn't find anything on the net. Has anyone done any benchmark comparisons of server speed from Win95 clients, accessing files on a Samba 1.9.17p1 server share, as compared to an NT Server, running on the same server hardware? If so, how did Samba 1.9.17 measure up to the NT server? I need an answer to this,

I apologize if this is off-topic, because I'm not sure if /proc/sys/vm/bdflush has anything to do with ext3 performance or not. However, I've been searching around for a while and can't find the answer I need. If somebody could shed some light, I'd really appreciate it. In "Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat Edition -A Hands on Guide", the author gives these values to

Dear developers, I tried to make openssh-1.2.1pre26 on my Linux box with kernel 2.2.13 and libc 5.4.46. First I needed to modify the file "fake-getaddrinfo.h" as attached diff. Then I tried again, and gave up with the error: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/ssl/include \ -DETCDIR=\"/usr/local/openssh/etc\" \ -DSSH_PROGRAM=\"/usr/local/openssh/bin/ssh\" \

I have installed the latest alpha of samba (1.9.18alpha4) with the intent of testing against the Ziff-Davis benchmark NetBench. The compile and install went OK, and I can see the server in the browser and connect to the public share I created (logins work OK). Running the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt produces no errors also. I can also install netbench and start up the controller from the binary

Greetings all, I have a question regarding the fsync data corruption bug that was introduced in 2.4.20 when using data=journal. I have patched the 2.4.20 kernel with the 3 sync patches available from zip.com.au, and I am wondering if with these patches the "bug" still exists: sync_fs.patch sync_fs-fix.patch sync_fs-fix-2.patch In addition the following two patches have also

Hi all, there is a problem with the 'Default: nt smb support = yes' option in smb.conf for at least Samba 2.2.3a and 2.2.4 (on FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE) when using Netbench 7.0.2 on WXP or W2k clients. If the client is set to run 2+ Netbench engines (to simulate 2+ real clients) and 'nt smb support = yes', all but one engine fail pretty quickly, usually during a movefile oder

Hi All, I'm running netbench against our samba based filer and having I believe a controller problem. When I configure the test to run multiple engines per client (about 5 in my case) and about 20 clients so all together I have 100 engines, the controller crashes. My clients are a mix of NT4, winxp and win2000 systems. If I run the controller on windows 2003, the controller simply

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm running some netbench tests, and I have some questions I'd like to ask. First, what is the difference between the dm.tst and ent_dm.tst NetBench suites? Second, what results have people been getting with Samba 3.0.0? I'm seeing a peak at 340.00 for ent_dm.tst and 101.00 for dm.tst on a P4 system with 512 MB RAM. Any information

I got mcp mag a day or two ago, Great writeup!! I was a little surprised that they ran such a glowing review of samba, with some of the negative implications on NT.

I am getting an odd situation when backing up a number of ext3 filesystems and was wondering if it could be caused by journalling. Over the space of a minute the load average will jump from 2 to over 40 and the system will be unresponsive for anywhere from 8 to 25 minutes. I am going to be trying a number of things, but was wondering if anyone could see the reason for the high load given the
