Seems when a process is kicked off on the client it goes to a directory which has many thousands of small files and does some processing on them, while this is running samba performance drop dramatically. It seems performance is fine when dealing with a small number of large files but when dealing with many thousands of small files (4k or so) it's a different story. Is there any tuning I can do to improve the situation? Samba Server: SunFire V880 running Solaris 9 (112233-08) Samba Client: Compaq ProLient ML570 running W2K SP3 # Samba config file created using SWAT # from pq04464.admin.nbsnet.co.uk (10.200.41.127) # Date: 2004/01/09 12:33:30 # Global parameters [global] netbios name = UXHSMSVC01 server string = encrypt passwords = Yes username map = /etc/sfw/smbusers log level = 1 log file = /var/samba/%m.log show add printer wizard = No socket address = 10.192.34.61 oplocks = No [mfs_cell_1] comment = File Scanning - Cell 1 path = /mfs/Scan_Cell_1/export guest account = valid users = mfssvc read only = No [nlife] comment = Life path = /nlife/export guest account = valid users = nlifesvc read only = No Have set oplocks = No as many processes my access the same files at the same time and thaught we maybe spending a lot of time oplock processing. Made no difference... Logs are not showing errors (at log_level 3) but have a lot of activity...
