After migrating a particular W2K file service to Samba 3.0.21c on SuSE 9.3 Pro (a DMS with winbindd against a W2K3 ADS), the W2K clients are suffering performance issues (in a switched LAN). Looking at the traffic with Ethereal (latest SVN), it looks like the client writes the data in *1 byte* pieces likes this (c=client, s=server): c->s NT Create AndX Request c<-s NT Create AndX

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''m working on a Ferret-based application which indexes content in all European languages. Thus, I have to deal with those funny European characters. After googling a bit, I decided to move on with a custom European analyzer based on MappingFilter, as suggested in the Ferret rdoc. Everything works fine with Ferret 0.11.3 on Mac OS X. But this application needs to run on both

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.

I'm in the process of trying to track down the cause of frequent Delayed Write Failures on our network. Most seem to be from database-like files (e.g. firefox/thunderbird sqlite files) that are stored in the users Application Data directory. The AppData directory in our case is on a mapped network drive and excluded from the set of files copied back and forth as part of the roaming

Hello list. I've a strange issue with a samba 3.4.3 print server. Everything is fine with most printers, meaning drivers are assigned on server side and automatically distributed to the clients as expected. However, I fail to configure a Xerox document center 7435 the same way. When I attempt to assign a driver to the printer, from a windows client with admin privileges, I get an

Hello mailinglist, I have a strange problem, which occurs sometimes on some WinXP clients. It is not 100% reproducable for me, but it returns regular. The problem is, that somehow a user can't delete a directory. All files in the directory will be removed successfully, but the directory itself not. Deleting with the Explorer or over the cmd-console returns in the same result. First the

I'm still having problems with that memory issue using 3.0.10 with v.2 of the printing patch + the one line patch from Jerome Borsboom. My production server has completely frozen a couple times in the past couple weeks, and did so again this morning. This time before restarting samba I removed the tdb files in /var/lib/samba/printing/* as Jerry mentioned this might help the queue not

Recently I had the chance to look at smb service response times over OpenVPN using Wireshark/TShark. Here are 2 samples. In both samples a Win XP Pro machine is connecting to a server running samba-3.3.7 and openvpn-2.0.6_9 on FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE.

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'

Hello, I have search up and down about this problem and I have since a lot of posts of people who have had the problem but no solutions so I am posting here hoping that someone can help me out. Here is the scenario. I have Samba Version 3.010 running on Ubuntu 5.04. Everything is working very well with the exception of one item. I have created a shared and when I create a new folder I have

Hello again, Jeremy and other Samba experts, I'm sorry to be such a pain in your neck(s), but I still need your help in looking for help trying to find out why SMB2/3.1.1 in Samba 4.6.5 performs so much worse than SMB/1.5 in Samba 3.6.15 in scenarios with a huge number of small files. As requested by Jeremy, I have done wireshark "pcapng" captures of the four scenarios as

Hi, I have setup samba server on my linux box (Fedora Core 4 with latest samba, just updated via RHN) and has configured file sharing via samba for this server and connecting to it from my windows xp box. So far, everything works fine and it is very fast. Then, I configured a printer, and shared it via samba. And, I can see+connect to it from Windows XP and can even print. But, everything

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,

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
