similar to: Poor Samba Preformance

I recently upgraded a part of my network to Gigabit ethernet, basically between my Linux machine and my main windows machine, is now gigabit. The problem is that, and the whole reason I went with it, is to get faster speeds with samba. I've only been able to get 13.4 MB/s as a maximum transfer speed. I don't expect to be able to get 125 MB/s. If I use HTTP I can get around 18 MB/s,

Hi all, we have followed the very good HOWTO by http://wherethebitsroam.com/blogs/jeffw/drbd-xcp-05 and set up DRBD on XCP 1.1 in primary/primary mode. It works fine, but I am wondering how to squeeze more performance out of the system (we currently use a crossover GB Ethernet connection). When writing a 1 GB file on a guest I get write performance of about 5MB/s (idle). We have disabled all

Hello everybody, I tried to measure the performance of the available drivers for windows as a HVM guest. I used the gplpv drivers 0.9.11-pre17, the PV drivers from Novell, and the drivers from Citrix XenSource with the XenServer 5. The Novell and gplpv drivers were more or less at the same speed, for both, network and disk performance. The disk performance was about 10MB/s reading and

Hi. I have 2 PC's connected with 1GBit NIC's. When I transfer a file from my File-Server(Redhat9.0, 256 SD-RAM, 300MHz PII, RTL8169 NIC, 2x Western Digital WD200JB RAID 0) to my Windows-PC(AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 1024 MB DDR-RAM, WINXP PRO, RTL8169 NIC, 2x Western Digital WD080JB RAID 0) with Samba, i get Speeds around 8-9MB/sec. I think this is too low for an GBit Network, so i tested the

Hi, Does samba has any performance or statistical counters that could be used to analyze server usage with MRTG, RRD or other statistical tools? Thanks Gil

I have Samba on a HP-UX 10.20 box and a Windows 98 and NT clients. We are using Samba to just share the Unix drives, the clients get their main stuff from an NT domain structure. On my NT client connected to a share, when I go into file manager for an example I get the directory structure almost instantly. However when the 98 client does the same exact process on the same exact share, it take

Hi, I am bumping into a small problem I was hoping someone could send me in the right direction on. I''m counting votes from a votes table to try to find the top ten videos. The following works really well, until I try to order it. It would seem that the order by is adding a 26 second delay, which surprised me since it was all done in sql. I revised the process to sort and publish on

I ran some iperf tests today and it looks like the etherbridge is the limiting factor on throughput. In the beforetime, I saw great throughput to the VMs; over 800 Mbps. With the bridge, the numbers are in the 400s somewhere. Is this the speed I can expect from the bridge? Is there some tuning I should try, or another way to get more bandwidth into the VMs? This is with xen-2.0, 2.4.27-xen0

In my haste for help, I stupidly hit reply and changed the subject which I thought was enough for a new message, not giving much thought for the threading, etc. So apologies for the hijack, although I would think it fairly obvious that it wasn't deliberate or obvious to me... or a big deal really. My mail doesn't thread. Some further info for those actually interested in helping, I forgot

Just reporting some iperf results. In each case, Dom0 is iperf server, DomU is iperf client: (1) Dom0: Intel Core2 3.16 GHz, CentOS 5.2, xen 3.0.3. DomU: Windows XP SP3, GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13, file based. Iperf: 1.17 Gbits/sec (2) Dom0: Intel Core2 2.33 GHz, CentOS 5.2, xen 3.0.3. DomU: Windows XP SP3, GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13, file based. Iperf: 725 Mbits/sec (3) Dom0: Intel Core2 2.33 GHz,

I''m going to set up a PVM on xen-3.3.1 debian-amd64. I need advices about the best methods to install a fresh debian on it (i.e. how to choose the kernel for pvm) . I''ve installed xen from sources and only have one xen kernel in /boot which I''m using for dom0; should I use the same kernel for domUs? There is any problem on use vcpus=2; the other vm is an hvm running

HI, I am trying to find out why an old slower machineis faster than a new faster machine. I have a RedHat 6.2 server installation, it runs samba and I have been very happy with it. Filesystem is:- [darryl@keg darryl]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 1.2G 735M 387M 66% / /dev/hda1 40M 3.0M 35M 8% /boot /dev/hdc1

Hi there: As suggested in the docs, I am forwarding a bug report. I have just converted two partitions to ext3 from ext2 without reformatting on my home box. All is not well, however. Here's the specs AMD K6/2-3D 500 Mhz, 64MB SDRAM, 100 Mhz bus Via Apollo P5MPV3 chipset, 100 Mhz bus Opti Mad 16 931 soundcard Video= AGP S3 Trio, w/8MB RAM, PS/2 mouse. Realtek 8029 pci bus network card.

we just purchase new I/O card and like to check I/O performance. for sequence I/O performance test we can use "hdparm -t /dev/xxx" bur for random I/O performance test which Linux command I can use? ** our environment does NOT allow install third party software.. Thanks

I need to disable the spin-down on an external USB drive because it spins down spontaneously while in use. The drive forgets the spindown-disable state across power outage so I need to reissue the hdparm command with each boot or hotplug. Where should I put the hdparm command to do this?

Hi there, I'm going mad at this: Asterisk with one HFC isdn card, using the zaptel driver "bristuff" All works ok, but voice coming in/out of the isdn card is out of sync, squelky and disrupted, UNTIL I PUT SOME LOAD TO THE PC, let say launching xwindows. I noticed this: Strong HDD activity = voice is good HDD doing nothing = voice is not good I suppose this could be an

We run several RH7.2/7.3 servers & recently 2 of them, although still working fine, have started to show kjournald as generally using over 50% cpu% on 'top' - virtually continuously. Free cpu% generally less than 25% now! Both machines are also using software RAID5 EIDE ....... otherwise are standard server installs. Any info on what kjournald is & why it should have recently

Hey guys, I'm trying to migrate my NT4 Domain and am having some problems. Ignoring my other post related to this, I can't get any of my machines to be able to login. Alls I ever get is "Your computer account was not found or the password is incorrect" I even tried rejoining the domain which works. I leave the domain and then rejoin it, it takes a LONG time (might just be

I'd like to to put the hard drives in standby mode during periods of no activity. I'm just running a file server plus a couple small things on a Qube 3 from home, although the web stuff will increase it's still minimal. On my NetBSD systems I can use atactl to do this via: mount -u -o async,noatime,nodevmtime / mount -u -o async,noatime /usr atactl wd0 setidle 5 [wait a time]

I would like to remove setsockopt(SO_LINGER), as there does not seem to be a reason for its use. If you know of specific reasons we should keep any of these let me know, or run this patch in local test trees where possible. This is against OpenBSD, but should apply to portable with some fuzz.
