similar to: samba tuning on a server with > 1 GB mem.Suggestions ?? + 2.2.2 problems

It seems to me the best course might be to let Linux handle the memory. It'll devote a big chunk of it to disk cache, which will probably do more for performance than anything you could tweak on Samba. I'm not too worried about Samba tuning myself, since our server bottlenecks at the 100baseT full-duplex ethernet connection it's on -- it can easily saturate the bandwidth. If we

Hello, I am going to set up a new file server ("smb" and "nfs") machine for the local network of my former school. Therefore I've just downloaded and successfully compiled "linux-2.4.9-ac5" (including "disk quota support" and, of course, support for "ext3 file system"). I've read the statement: | ... | | The quota code in the -ac

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

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

Hello, guys, I am trying to get rshaper 2.01 to work on our Redhat 6.2 servers, but it does not seem to be able to control the bandwidth usage, here are the details, 1. Our production servers are all Redhat 6.2 with Kernel 2.2.19-6.2.12, the software we use are customized specifically for RH6.2, so I can''t upgrade to 2.4 kernel. 2. On my test server with the same RH6.2 and kernel (it has

Has anyone gotten Netbench 6.0 running on Windows 2000 clients to work under samba? I'm running Samba 2.1.0-prealpha on linux with Windows 2000 professional clients. When I try to run it, it initializes successfully but when it starts to execute a test I get the error "Mix lock of handle 6 for length 1 at offset 2147483538 Failed". I'd appreciate any help. Nothing peculiar

Hi, Sean: I'm sorry I lie. I didn't mean to lie. I did try to avoid making a *BIG* change to the IPO pass-ordering for now. However, when I make a minor change to populateLTOPassManager() by separating module-pass and non-module-passes, I saw quite a few performance difference, most of them are degradations. Attacking these degradations one by one in a piecemeal manner is wasting

Hello, I have today released an initial version of extended attributes and access control lists for ext3 (patch against the 2.4.13-ac3 kernel). Eric Jarman <ejarman@acm.org> has contributed a lot to this effort. Since I'm not very much into the innards of ext3, can some of you please take a look at the patch, and see whether it contains any flaws (and tell me which flaws)? Thanks! The

Can someone suggest anything that will help with the following ext3 performance problem? (It's a Berkeley db issue at bottom, but the ext3 part is worth looking at, I think.) First, two paragraphs of background: A Bayesian spam filter called bogofilter uses Berkeley db to maintain two database files of identical format: one containing words found in spam email and for each word the number
