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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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.

-----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

hello, i'm not a heavy samba user in general (works without any serious tweaking on my modest home network), but one of my clients is and we are seeing some strange behavior. perhaps it makes sense to someone with more clue. if not, i could use some advice in how to figure out what is going on. the setup: a couple dozen windows clients (xp pro 64bit & vista ultimate 64bit) taking

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
