Just been told the config file didn't appear in the email as it went out (even though it certainly appears in the copy I've got), so I'm attaching inline this time. Oh, BTW: it's version 3.4.7 on Debian Lenny, installed from backports. [global] workgroup = U4EATECH netbios name

[Samba] Performance issues: have eliminated disk and network as cause

2010-03-31 Thread James Cort
Hi, I'm not entirely happy with the performance I'm seeing using Samba, and I wonder if anyone can shine any light. The server is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with hardware RAID10, 4GB RAM and a quad-core Intel Xeon processor. It's not live yet, so there's no load from other tasks. I've already

I think this is a repeat of: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2509 Example 1 in that entry now works fine, but 2 continues to break 95% of the time. I'm happy to help narrow it further but I don't have the expertise to dive into the codebase myself. James. -- To unsubscribe

in the first place - set up a Samba domain and got the offending server onto that. Seems to work now (touch wood). It'll give me a number of other benefits over and above solving the initial problem, and it was something I was planning on doing anyway. Many thanks, James Cort

not sure where to look next. The Samba server running 3.0.14 isn't live yet, so I can do more-or-less what I like with the configuration. The 3.0.11 server, however, is live, so I don't want to mess with the configuration until I've got a better idea of what I need to do to fix it. James Cort
