Hello friends, I am trying to test NAS I/O performance over a network and trying to see the numbers for write and read speed. I have successfully configured and ran a lot of tests. However the numbers have not increased, I have reached a bottleneck.
I tried playing around with the smb.conf file including all possible variations like, socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=(tried values like 8192, 65535, 131070) SO_SNDBUF=(tried 8192, 65535, 131070) log level = 0 or 1 max xmit = used different numbers ( like 8192 to 65535) I also tried using read raw = yes write raw = yes but the numbers or the write and read performance does not improve. My setup is as follows: I have a Linux machine running ubuntu which is the host and I have it connected to a Windows XP machine over the network and there is also an E-SATA which I mount and try to test on. There is Iozone3 and samba server running on linux. I also have samba on the network. The approximate average numbers I am getting over LAN are: Write: around 23Mbits/sec Read: around 33Mbits/sec Please let me know of cases I can try and shoot up the performance. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
