Hi All, I've been experimenting with Samba 2.2.7a Debian 3.0 on a dual PIII 1000 SMP box, 1GB ram, and a fast RAID 5 array (150MB/sec write local). It seems that no matter what options I set in smb.conf nor what underlying filesystem I use (JFS, EXT3, XFS) I can only get 3MB/sec MAX on writes out of samba from any Windows client in my environment. Given that wire speed for fast ethernet ought to be 11MB/sec (we see this from UDP NFS on write all the time-same box) what's the problem? Does TCP/IP really eat more than half of the performance? During all of this, SMB is only using 5-7% CPU per write process max.
Suggestion sincerely appreciated! Thanks, Steve __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
