similar to: Poor performance getting lots of small files with WinXP/Win2k vs OS2

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 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

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 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

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'

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

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

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,

Greetings, in our small network with about 10 Clients I got a problem when opening files or directories. If there were no actions between server and client for about 2 minutes or more, the very first action (open file, change path, etc) needs a long long time. The problem occurs on some clients (win 2k/xp), but not on every client. I tried a working smb configuration from home, but still no

Samba errors with smb QUERY_PATH_INFO, Error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUNDFrom: Timothy D Newcomb Subject: Samba errors with smb QUERY_PATH_INFO, Error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND > Did you get an answer for this ?

<earlier, David Rankin wrote to no avail:> Mates, I have been watching a developing problem over the past few weeks. Most likely a M$ patch to XP that has caused problems. What happens is that XP clients try to open the standard "File" -> "Open" dialog (like in word, or whatever) and the file open dialog hangs and stops responding for 15 seconds or so. I have

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

I see *things* happening here. XP. Trying to access \\host\sharea. works fine \\host\shareb - pops up password window shares a and ba may vary between reboots. I spent 15 minutes scratching my head and finally tossed out "snoop port 445" So what I've seen. On shares I can access wxp do: 1. Send: Tree Connect AndX Request \\host\sharea 2. Receive: Tree Connect AndX Response 3.

A trivial case: executing the following DOS command from the prompt line on a Win2K SP3: %windir%\system32\attrib.exe +R H:\dir can't set the R(eadonly) flag on my home dirs (2.2.7): drwxrwsr-x 4 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:59 . drwxr-sr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:59 dir -r--r--r-- 1 me users 0 Nov 27 17:59 empty.txt drwxr-sr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:27

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating system is Windows XP professional. With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the GIS presentations with ArcView. We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b)

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
