It sounds like you're getting better performance than me? I am currently testing on a directory with 30,000 12KB files (xfile%d 0-29999). The server has a single p5+ 1.9GHz CPU. When I pull up the directory in Windows Explorer then that takes maybe a couple of seconds. I then highlight all the files and hit delete. It then goes back and forth between the server and client for almost three minutes (client CPU utilization hitting 100% a good chunk of that time) before it finally pops up with the little warning box asking me if I'm sure I want to delete 30,000 files. When it starts deleting then CPU utilization on the server goes to 100% (and CPU utilization on the client goes down near 0%). Some quick measurements say that it's deleting about 100 files per minute. When I tested it on an Ubuntu Dapper test box (Apache 3.0.22, ext2, default settings) then it deleted all of the 30K files in a couple of minutes. Here's the output from testparm on my AIX test box: [global] workgroup = UXGROUP server string = Tax178 security = SERVER map to guest = Bad User password server = 10.0.89.201 log file = /var/samba/log.%m max log size = 150 change notify timeout = 99999999 socket address = 10.0.89.178 create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 hosts allow = 127.0.0.1, 10.0.89., 10.0.88. hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 [smbtest2] comment = Test space 2 path = /datavg/smbtest2 read only = No create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 guest ok = Yes case sensitive = Yes preserve case = No short preserve case = No -Claus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
