Hi all,
I just installed Freebsd 5.4 with samba 3.x, I'm running a calyx
software, and the 6 clients are winxp.
The smb.conf is as simple as possible. I noticed that some clients
are very slow to connect to the share drive and run a database search.
The server is a dell 8400 optiplex, no scsi HDD (sata I think), 3Ghz
and 512MB Ram.
I was wandering if there's a way to optimize samba, or freebsd. Right
now performance wise is worse then when they connect to the same
database on a win2003 server and I need to get the win2003 server out
of the picture.
Thank you
The FreeBSD 5/6 kernel sometimes struggles to pass 100mbits traffic or
more, so you have to enable polling. 'man polling'
Compile in to your kernel and enable polling
Main compile options are.
options DEVICE_POLLING
options HZ=1000
sysctl.conf
kern.polling.idle_poll=1
kern.polling.user_frac=50
kern.polling.enable=1
Then have something like 'ifconfig em0 polling' in /etc/rc.local
Mike
