similar to: Extremely slow Samba3 performance with ArcView/WinXP

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! For some months now I'm hunting a Samba performance problem without a solution yet. Now I'm hoping someone on this list has an idea (In fact, I already reported the problem to the mailing list but got only one reply which did not help) So I'm here for another try... Here's the situation: Some of our users runs Windows XP with

Have you checked the network end of things? This is the same type of thing I see when the NIC and ethernet switch don't autonegotiate to the same settings. Hope I didn't step on anybody's toes here. I'm new to the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and

Hi, We're doing some of performance tests with Linux Samba v3. We're comparing WinXP/Win2k clients vs OS2 clients accessing a samba server. For one test, we're coping 10.000 small files. Let's say, we run the command copy \\sambaserver\10000files\*.* c:\data\10000files With an OS2 client it takes 23 seconds to complete. With an Windows client it takes 460 seconds to complete.

Samba 3.0.28a-0.fc8 & Windows XP. When logging on to machine 'A' one of my users gets an "Access Denied" message for a particular cookie file -- 'statse'. When logging on to another machine ('B'), there is no problem. I have tried, when logged in as administrator (mapped to root on the server), to read the cookie file on both machines. Machine 'A'

Hi, I'm trying to replace a windows fileserver server with a Fedora Core 2 samba server in our Windows 2000 ADS domain. A performance problem occurs when accessing certain samba shares from Windows Explorer on either an Windows XP or a W2K client machine. It can take up to a minute for explorer to list files in a share folder containing only a few files! It eventually does, but but reports

Samba Version: 3.4.7 OS: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 Setup: This samba box is a member of a win2k active directory domain and functions as a file server. Files/directories shared out utilize file system acls. smb.conf portion for share in question: [Accounting] comment = Accounting Share path = /netdrives/accounting browsable = yes read only = no map archive = no map system = yes

For quite awhile I've noticed that smbd uses 10-15% of my CPU (Pentium 4) when nothing visible is going on. I have a couple of laptops on my home network, and some experiments showing that powering on the Vista laptop (other is OSX) is sufficient to raise useage from 0 to 10-15%. The screen is locked, although 2 user accounts are logged in. Wireshark seems to show a lot of chatter,

Dear all, My question is described as follows. Server: Linux Samba-3.3.1 Client: Windows XP with SP3 Step1: connect to the samba server. Step2: select a directory name ?test?. (The directory is created before testing.) The client will send a lot of QUERY_FILE_INFO requests. According to data captured by Wireshark, I find the following phenomenon: The client repeats exactly the same

Hi, I have a problem with my printing setup of a windows XP client with a samba server. The windows driver seems to use different ways of smb/printer communication for printing in normal/duplex mode and for printing brochures. The latter failes silently. normal/duplex printing uses: SMB Open Print File Request brochure printing starts with: SPOOLSS OpenPrinterEx request I recorded the network

Hi, I am enhancing the Samba Server on our product (VxWorks on the box) to support Long Name. So I started implementing the dialect "LM1.2X002" (first dialect that supports Long Name, the current dialect that we support are PC Network Program). I have implemented the Negotiation, Tree Connect AndX, Open AndX and Transaction2 (FIND_FIRST2) commands etc. I am able to open the shared

I've got a 10.2.6 box that when it copies large files (5-8GB) it will eventually die. This last time I got the end of the transmission with ethereal from the samba server. I did some searching for the "Unknown DOS error (9e)" but couldn't find anything helpful Right after the error is logged the smb share is dumped off the desktop of the Mac, but samba still shows it

Hi all, we have got 4 Samba Servers. All BDCs for "MYDOMAIN", except by SERVER3 that is a PDC. All of them have 3 physical Network interfaces, from which 2 are used by samba. Each of them has a several ip aliases, except by SERVER1 which has only primary ip numbers on its interfaces. When I try to join a new Windows client (XP SP3) to the domain. It asks our wins server for

Here is a second, somewhat related question to my last one. When looking over the network trace I have ran into something I cannot explain. It may be quite proper, in which case I am misreading the trace. But I would appreciate it if someone would explain this to me. In packet 109 of the trace (during a login with no profile on the server), I see a "NT Create AndX request"

Hi all. Scenario: Fedora Core 2 Samba 3.0.6 PDC with ldap Exchange 5.5 on Win2K SP4 Whenever a try to install Exchange SP4 I run in to a situation similar to the one reported in bugzilla's bug 1076 (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1076 ) and to this http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-November/001828.html Also found this on another list: ----- Begin quote ------------

Good day time! We've noticed the following issue with Samba 3.0.1 on Linux. When SMB client asks for the first time on FID for a locking or read request on an opened file, it causes an ACK to be sent from client side. Windows server also requests ACK BUT much more rarely. Sending ACK causes additional overhead when working in heavy locking and unlocking environment. Windows server

Hi! I'm currently hunting a strange problem and looking for help! I have a samba3 fileserver (currently samba-3.0.20b, but problem can be reproduced with samba-3.0.7, but _not_ with samba2 like 2.2.8a), and I see performance problems when writing files with MS word 2002 SP3 from a NT4.0 (SP6a) workstation. Saving even the smallest file takes more than 10 seconds! Copying files with Windows

I trying to figure out why copying from a Samba drive to Windows XP is slower than an FTP transfer beween the same two machines. To copy the 110 MB file from Samba takes 400 seconds, and to transfer the same file by FTP takes 41 seconds. From using ethereal, and comparing a fast smb copy to a slow smb copy, I can see that the slow copy has a _lot_ more tcp traffic for a SMB single read

Hi, I am having a lot of trouble with getting 0s2 to talk with samba. They seem to be making the right noises at handshake time, and seem to set up a session no problems (using ethereal, monitoring packets). However, when it comes to actually transferring information (such as doing a listing of a share from the os2 box) it crashes with the error: Open AndX Request, Path: \OSO001.MSG; Read
