similar to: AW: Performance problem when writing large files!

Hello Listmembers! This is the first time i'm posting to this list. I'm not a native speaker, so excuse my mistakes. We're using Redhat with Kernel 2.4.29, 12 GB of memory, Dual Itanium Processors Scasi Raid controller with filesystem ext3 Samba V 3.0.14a We encounter following problem. If somebody on the network writes big files from windows clients to a samba shared

Hello all, I'm creating a site where people can share their benchmarks. If you are interested, the site is at (I just started on it so it has the stock graphics and color scheme still): www.dcsnow.com/mambo I would like some thoughts on what would be a good way to standardize the testing so the results are more comparable. Is Bonnie+ a good program for hard drive speed testing? Is there

I'm getting awful performance when trying to write to our new NAS and/or a Windows XP share. In short, I'm getting just under 1/2 the speed that I can get if I mount a Linux share on the Windows box and send the files that way. Here are the test results: >From XP to Linux via FTP 47MB/sec >From XP to Linux via SAMBA 40MB/sec >From Linux to XP via CIFS 21MB/sec Now, this is

Okay, I've been chasing performance for a while now. I have no idea if I should be trying to get better performance or if I'm getting all I can out of my hardware. Here is the information: /sbin/hdparm -I /dev/hdd /dev/hdd: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: ST328040A Serial Number: 7BY034XB Firmware Revision: 3.07 Standards:

Thanks for the tip but recompiling the latest version was the second thing I did after trying and failing to tweak the smb.conf on my original hardware conf. I found that compiling it for my specific architecture (i686) increased my performance by 100% (from a punny 0.8 MB/s to a better but still punny 1.6 MB/s). -----Original Message----- From: Diego Julian Remolina

I have a system that is running into problems with high load, however, even when I shut down everything that could be loading the system, the load continues to rise. I can't see anything that is causing the load.

I've done a little research, and can't really find out why it happens, but on one server I have built, I get the old fashion /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 type partitions and on another server I get the /dev/mapper style partitions. Both machines are hardware raided (before the install) and both machines are Centos 5.5 64 bit, using the same set of CDs to install from. Can someone please

Hello, I've been using ext3 on some of my production servers, I am now having some serious issues. I'm not sure where to pin point this to. 1. I have success using this with a Mylex Raid controller and have no problem. setup as RAID 1. 2. I have success using this with a standalone at all levels single ended SCSI, IDE Drives. 3. "" This is where my problem starts

Hi all, I am having some strange problems with samba on one of my fileservers. I am using samba 2.2.1a compiled with qouta support and the quota patches. Kernel is 2.4.9 with quota patches. Everything seems to work fine exept some very wired things: If I try to save a document from word 2000 to a samba share the file can't be read afterwards by word. The file is on the server I can copy the

Any ideas on the following?

Hi, all. Last saturday, we've done a cutover for Samba 2.0.5a to be our new fileserver. All is going well, except for two network users that make me reboot the server. What happens is as follows: * user logs on onto samba server; * user opens and closes files, etc, OK until in one of these operations his/her machine hangs; * user reboots his/her machine to log on again. In this

Hi! A few weeks ago we upgraded 9 large webservers from ext2 to ext3. Since then we've seen very strange behavior on several of the machines. Permissions of files are repeatedly changed at random occasions. Several times, ownership of files have been totally mangled. Several users have logged in to discover that all their files suddenly are owned by another user! At two of these occasions

Hello, after an update from Samba 2.2.12 to 3.0.22 and running the daemons 2-3 days my Samba Server freeze the whole Server. First the clients get connection problems, timing out to access the shares and then some minutes later the whole Server freeze, i can't even logon on the console. Only a cold reset is possible. I convert all files from latin-1 to a UTF-8 and then from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hello Got strange problem with high system "%system load" and very slow user level programs (apache+php+mysql) behavior gstat shows 1.5-4% hard disk busy load but system shows about 20-30% load while user load is max 5%. vmstat shows from 2 to 35 process in "b" state. Now use 7.0-RELEASE-p5 , but the same problem was with 7.0-RELEASE. And have no idea what to do with this.

I am running Icecast2 and Ices2 on Redhat Linux 9. I have two ices running with two different configuration sending to Icecast and the cpu load for each is around 7.0. The playlist contains ogg files encoded using Ogg Encoder Decoder 1.2.8b from (www.mediatwins.com) with 64kbps, 44.1KHz, VBR. The <encode> </encode> is the same for both configurations and here it is:

Hi everyone, I'm looking into setting up a SATA hardware raid, probably 5 to use with CentOS 4. I chose hardware raid over software mostly because I like the fact that the raid is transparent to the OS. Does anyone know of any SATA controllers that are well tested for this sort of usage? From what I can tell from googling, this is more or less where RHEL stands: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
