Hello,
We are testing Samba 3 as a replacement for our Windows 2000 file and print services.
I have noticed that doing any printer management operation seems to take a very long
time. Opening the 'Printers' share on the samba server takes 10-15 seconds and opening
Properties for a printer has taken anywhere from 15 seconds to well over a minute
depending on the printer. Performing the same operation for the same printer(s) on our
existing Win2k print server is much faster at this time.
The only things I see in the syslog (default level of 0) are a tdb_fetch failed
message followed by a 'couldn't find service ::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}'
message when trying to open the Printers share. If I have never uploaded a driver for
a particular share I see a tdb_fetch message anytime I try to manage it, but I expect
that is normal.
Our test samba server should be extremely fast, it has more than adequate ram, cpu,
disk and network resources. I am using Samba 3.0.2rc2 on FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE with MIT
Kerberos 1.3.1 and OpenLDAP 2.1.26. I am using ACLs.
Are there some samba settings I should look at to make this faster? I am concerned
that the response time will be too much for some of our less patient staff, which
would affect our ability to implement this.
If it helps, I have included a sanitized portion of my smb.conf file below. This has
been created by SWAT.
