I'm not aware of any performance issues vis-a-vis Samba and ext3 or any other filesystem. I keep track of these matters because of the work I do. % I was merely interested if somebody has been doing tests or read about it % and could share this info with me. Except for an article I saw on Internet % saying NFS and ext3 is a no go I didn't hear anything about Samba and ext3 % personally. Well, NFS and ext3 play together just fine - I do this at work constantly. In fact, we have diskless boards that mount ext3 root filesystems over NFS. We also have diskless boards that mount JFFS2 root filesystems over NFS. Both methods work just fine. The few times I've accessed Windows shares over Samba and mounted them on ext3 filesystems, again, I've had no trouble and haven't encountered unusual performance problems. % I was just interested in your feedback. If you want to perform some benchmarks, I'd recommend the Bonnie benchmark suite: http://www.textuality.com/bonnie/ Kurt -- Going to church does not make a person religious, nor does going to school make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a person a car. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
