Hi, We've got a setup here with a samba server in front of a fibrechannel array. It's a pretty vanilla samba setup exporting an xfs filesystem.
The box is an opteron 265 with 4G RAM and a QLogic QLA2312 HBA running SLES9. We can dd an 8G file to a share from a windows workstation in just over 2 minutes (about 65MB/s) and dd back in about 4 minutes. Local disk performance in the machine gives about 195MB/s to disk and 120MB/s from disk. The problem comes when trying to capture video using Adobe Premiere 6.5 and write straight to the share - we get a *lot* of dropped frames (somewhere in the region of 25%+). Yet the same job to an Adaptec Snap server (which is samba on adaptec's guardianOS) works fine, even through it can only sustain 10MB/s. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
