Hello, I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing I can do about it).
When I do a listing of that directory using smbclient, it takes 15+ seconds to complete, same thing on Windows XP. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can speed this up? I did a log on log level 10, it is accessible at http://www.enger.org/backup.log (10761841 bytes). Timeline I have noticed: [0 sec] Received the request [0 sec] Starts running on all files: [2004/04/19 16:31:51, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1496) is_in_path: A0000009.job [2004/04/19 16:31:51, 8] lib/util.c:is_in_path(1500) is_in_path: no name list.

I have tried Samba 2.2.7a and 3.0.2 which both have the same issue. Log is from 3.0.2. Running Fedora Core 1 and ext3 file system.
