[NBLUG/talk] Samba running slow...

[Mark Street]

Sorry, I posted a response on your other thread regarding this issue and it 
was overlooked.

What is your setting for socket options in smb.conf?

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

NOTE - it is a very good idea to make a backup of smb.conf BEFORE you use SWAT 
to configure samba.

my old post

I would look into tuning samba.  I also note in your previous post the
lack of a machine secret for the Domain.  If you have machines you are
allowing to join the domain you have to create a machine account on the
samba server.

The oplock setting looks like it is giving you trouble.  You might
consider turning it off.  Opportunistic file locking slows Samba considerably.

I have seen issues with this with head to head comparison with NT/XP on
file serving and certain teams leaving this bottleneck turn on just to
cripple the Linux/Samba solution. referenced from Linuxtoday a month or so
back.

Reference Using Samba online at O'Reilly.
or this one I just pulled up.
