similar to: server or client having the problem?

Was wondering if anyone's got some ballpark performance numbers that they can share. It would be great to see some basic numbers, nothing formal. Even if it's just observations from a system you manage or monitor. I'd be most interested to see how a single server with multiple clients performs. Throughput, reads/writes and if possible a rough view of server memory and cpu per byte

I've got a fully updated Fedora Core 4 server crashing hard every week or two. I use Samba via smbmount and autofs to read & delete log files on 17 XP boxs and 6 NT4SP6 boxes as well as a couple other Windows files servers every 5 minutes. The first indication of a problem I get is smbmount stops working, then the server becomes unresponsive to the point where only a power slam will fix

Hi, I am deploying samba for an embedded system. The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe "smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt" components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. I understand that Samba is capable of doing

Hi whenever i try to mount a samba share which is a samba server i get an error message that says "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct mounts(500, 500) smbmnt failed1" On that note i tried to run "smbmount" as root but this did't work out. i also tried to run smbmnt as root, up to now my problem was not solved. Anybody there who can help please? Thanks.

(Automounting on boot is ok, too). This is on Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with Samba 2.0.6. I can find and mount each directory just fine when logged in as root, but smbmount does not do the job when
