I've been attempting to tune my samba server and workstations to work efficiently on a 1GB lan. So far I've increased the MTU on both the workstation and linux server to 9000. Then on the windows xp workstation, I've added these registry keys and rebooted: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] "TcpWindowSize"=dword:3FFFF700

Hello everybody, althought there are a lot of discussions on Samba's performance, I would like to share my results trying to connect Samba running on a Linux box to a Win95 workstation on a fast ethernet network. If any of you could have some ideas or suggestions , please mail me (cc: teo@flex.ro) because I am not (yet) on this mail list. First of all, may I present you : 1. THE SERVER -

Hello All: I've been requested to add some TCP tuning parameters to some CentOS 5.4 systems. These tunings are for the TCP receive buffer windows: net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_max Information on this tuning is broadly available: http://fasterdata.es.net/TCP-tuning/linux.html http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=121 Potential downsides are available:

Hi! I'm working with Samba backed by a high performance filesystem. From a Windows 2K and Windows XP client I'm trying to achieve very high speed single file throughput over GigE from the Windows client using either open/write or CreateFile/ReadFile APIs. I'd rather not venture into overlapped IO there so that we don't have to recommend that all our customers rewrite their

I went to the site to subscribe again and ended up watching some of Jeremy's Google interviews. I particularly enjoyed the interview with James and the bow tie lesson at the end. :) So anyway, I recently upgraded my home network to end-to-end GbE. My clients are Windows XP SP3 w/hot fixes, and my Samba server is 3.5.6 atop vanilla kernel.org Linux 3.2.6 and Debian 6.0.6. With FDX fast

Hi, I've migrated a Win2k fileserver to Samba 3.0.33 on Gentoo (Kernel 2.6.28). While the Linux clients work fine, I get the absolutely worst transferrates on Win (XP Prof + Vista) like 3-4k/s (compared to ~10MB/s on Linux). When copying larger files on Windows, they start this slow, but the transfer becomes faster after some time like 2Mbit/s via WLAN which would be acceptable. I've

Hi all, I am trying to get some decent speed out of a vanilla Debian (Proxmox) box and am running out of ideas. Basically I can exchange data at 110MB/sec (raw, nfs, ftp) but not with Samba shares. I tried almost every samba tuning tip I could find to no avail. The only optimisation left to smb.conf at the moment is debug level = 0. As one can see the robocopy throughput is merely half of what

Hi, We're having performance problems with SolidWorks on our shares. Copying the entire entire solidworks project to local disk and opening from there takes around 30s, but opening from the share directly takes minutes. Apparently solidworks knowledge base has this to say about Samba: > The official policy with regards to Linux Samba is that our legal department has advised us that the

Hi, I am trying to optimize my gigabit network. I have two Intel 1000 MT Gigabit Server Adapters, which support Jumbo Frames -- as well as a Switch that supports Jumbo Frames. However, I am observing some strange behavior in my file transfers from Windows XP to Linux and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the way the Samba variables are set on my Linux box? The "strange

Hello, I have a question about ext3 write activity. I am considering using an ext3 fs on a CompactFlash disk for my data-logging application (power can disapear anytime). The quantity & frequency of the data logged itself is not a problem at all considering flash wear. But I'm a bit worried about the kernel/ext3 doing regular writes by itself even when there are no userspace writes.

Okay, let's hope *fourth* time is a charm... Changes in 3.06: * Fix typo that caused the ramdisk to load in the wrong place. Changes in 3.05: * New API function "shuffle and boot"; allows COM32 modules to load or construct (almost) arbitrarily complex objects, e.g. a kernel and its initrd/initramfs in pieces, and have the API core

I have an odd setup at present, because I''m testing while still building my machine. It''s an Intel Atom D510 mobo running snv_134 2GB RAM with 2 SATA drives (AHCI): 1: Samsung 250GB old laptop drive 2: WD Green 1.5TB drive (idle3 turned off) Ultimately, it will be a time machine backup for my Mac laptop. So I have installed Netatalk 2.1.1 which is working great. Read

I''m running on s10s_u4wos_12b and doing the following test. Create a pool, striped across 4 physical disks from a storage array. Write a 100GB file to the filesystem (dd from /dev/zero out to the file). Run I/O against that file, doing 100% random writes with an 8K block size. zpool iostat shows the following... capacity operations bandwidth pool used

Hi all, When I ran the experiments to compare an application''s execution time in both a domU (named cctest1) and a native Linux machine (named ccn10), I noticed the application executes faster in domU. The host of the domU (named ccn9) and ccn10 are two nodes of a cluster and they have same hardware configurations. domU (cctest1) is created by exporting loopback files from dom0 on

Hi all - New to rails... been reading as much as I can though and have yet to find a solid answer (although I think I found an unsolid negative). I''m wondering if there''s a way to split up the reads and writes in Rails so that pages/actions that don''t need to write can query from a group of mirrored databases. And my content managers can update a single master. I

Basically I want to know if I can turn off full_page_writes in my postgres config. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/wal-reliability.html

Hello, I am using samba on a NAS. I use hdparm to put my disk to standby. Unfortunatelle the disk wakes up appr. each 5 minutes and I get entries in /var/cache/samba and /var/log Is there a way to disable the cache and the logging? I did not find anything in the smb.conf. Thx in advance Kai

I am having an issue on my integration server currently. When I run rake spec locally my specs run and all is good but when I run rake spec in on my integration box I get the following output Options written to spec/spec.opts. You can now use these options with: spec --options spec/spec.opts When I run spec --options spec.opts I get the same message. script/spec and others all do the same , if I
