so are you using xcopy or copy dos command in your script? -----Original Message----- From: Vinay Kudithipudi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 1:21 PM To: 'Javid Abdul-AJAVID1'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Samba] Samba - Performance Issues
Javid, I am running a script which copies a 1Gb files to and from the shared driver. Am then dividing the time taken by the size of the file. I know it is very hacked up :), but it should at least give some approximations. Thanks.

We are running SAMBA 2.2.3a on Dual PIII 1Ghz machines with 512MB of RAM. The server is running on a default server installation of Red Hat 7.2. We have a 500Gb RAID 5 drive using the Promise SX6000 Raid controller. Currently we are only getting a throughput of ~5MB/S for writes and ~13MB/S for reads. Comparing that to NFS which yealds ~15MB/S for reads and ~13MB/S for writes. This clearly rules out the Hardware bottleneck since XFS is able to perform better on the same hardware. Here is the smb.conf I am using currently ===SMB.CONF=== [global] workgroup = MYGROUP netbios name = {HOSTNAME} wins server = {WINSSERVER} server string = {HOSTNAME} security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [Data] comment = Data Backup Directory path = /home/gm/data guest account = valid users = spirian read only = No ====== I was wondering if there is any documentation for fine tuning SAMBA. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
