Hello,
The issues I had before seems all disappeared after I rebooted my machine( Fedora3, kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ). I don't really understand what benefited the samba on rebooting... The information is, before this reboot, I updated the kernel from 2.6.10-1.760_FC3, and updated samba from 3.0.10 to 3.0.12pre1-1.
I really doubt it's the client requirement of "GET FULL FS SIZE" caused the slowness. Before rebooting, I tried using smbclient on another linux machine to connect the shared folder on samba server, and found that when I use "ls" to list the directories, the directories can be returned immediately but it get stuck on display the "filesystem size" information at the bottom until timeout. I think it's the same issue for "mapping" a disk on windows machines, since the windows will try to grab "filesystem size" information on every operation as well. After rebooting, the "... block of size ..... blocks available" returned immediately and everything goes smoothly.

I am seeing the exact same problem and I can confirm that a reboot of Win XP helps the problem temporarily. (this is my laptop so it is restarted regularly) It seems something is getting cached or stuck somewhere after XP is up and running for a while that is causing the 30 second delay descending down the directory tree when using the "file-open" dialog from MS office applications. There is nothing on the MS lack of knowledge base and google hasn't been my friend on this issue. Do you have any other ideas that might help get this issue resolved??

Hello,
I've read the relative thread on "STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND", and I think that's part of my issue:
1. When I map the shared folder as a disk to my windowsXP and Windows2K machine, then every step exploring the mapped disk or directories under this disk, takes more than 30sec to response from the samba server. I use ethereal to trace the network, and found that there are a lot of "SMB Trans2 request, QUERY_PATH_INFO" and "SMB Trans2 response QUERY_PATH_INFO" roundtrip while my windows machine waiting.
2. When I don't map the shared folder to my windows machines, things are better -- the slowness doesn't happen frequently, but it does happend randomly. When it happens, I got "STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND" error reported.
I just updated my Samba to "3.0.12pre-1" from "3.0.10.fc3", but it seems all my issues remain as before. Does this issue introduced in certain Samba version? Does anybody suffer the same problem as mine now or before?
Regards, linwei

I disabled the web client service on my computer, but it does no good. ( There are also other sharing folders from windows machinces on my network, but I didn't suffer the same problem from those windows sharings...). And I also tried to work on the samba server machine locally using smbclient, and it seems no this kind of issue....

hi,
I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3). I use the SHARE security level to make things easier. Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the folders/files list. This seems weird because it happened radomly: sometimes for the same user, same machine and browse same directory, it works quickly, but sometimes it take about a minute to get the response from server. What's the possibilities for this issue? Deperately need help.
Try turning off the "webclient" service on the windows client machines.
