I've been handed a server environment with samba serving a 1.5 terabyte SAN mount, and find connections to the mount slow.
Any attempt to read the filesystem remotely results in a 5-10 second lag before responding. Once the initial lag has passed, the filesystem can be read in a reasonable responsive manner. I'm not sure where to look to identify the problem. It's possible using samba to server a SAN cluster mount is inherently bad design, from a system architecture perspective, but I thought I'd float the problem on the list, and see if anyone has anything to constructive to contribute. Please don't reply with pedantic "post your OS, service config" responses, I just want to know if anyone else has attempted this configuration, and if so what kind of problems they encountered. I'm not going to post the config, I'm not asking someone to debug my existing config, I'm only asking if anyone has seen similar configurations, or experienced similar problems.
