Prevent from heavy loading from samba server in embedded system

[Sven Oehme]

you could setup QOS with iptables and set the nice level to limit the 
bandwidth and CPU prio, both are linux tools and have nothing to do with 
samba ...

Prevent from heavy loading from samba server in embedded system







Hi there,
How to prevent from heavy loading from samba server?
Our embedded device can record video to DVD disc and HD and if there are
samba connections consuming too much CPU, HD, and RAM at this time,
recording may fail.
I have some ideas to prevent from this condition:
    1. Cut off the samba connections when recording. This will make users
feel very bad.
    2. Restrict the samba connection number. This embedded device is 
mainly
for household network.
    3. Lower the flow rate of samba connections. Thus the client
applications won't encounter file operation error.

Does Samba support any kind of above-mentioned facilities?

Regards,
Colin
