I am using smbtorture instead of NBENCH.
Following is my way to use smbtorture. But I'm not sure this way is
correct or not.
$ tar xfz samba-3.0.24.tar.gz
$ cd samba-3.0.24/source
$ ./configure
$ make all
$ make smbtorture
You can get the "smbtorture" binary in source/bin directory.
Please copy the "smbtorture" binary to Linux client machine.
And create "smb.conf" on Samba server.
[global]
security = share
[netbench]
path = /tmp/netbench
read only = no
guest ok = yes
Next, you can get "client_oplocks.txt" file from dbench-2.1.tar.gz
http://samba.org/ftp/tridge/dbench/dbech-2.1.tar.gz
Please copy the "client_oplocks.txt" file to the same directory
of the "smbtorture" binary on client.
Please start "smbd" on Samba server.
And start smbtorture on client.
$ ./smbtorture //192.168.0.1/netbench -U% -N 20 NBENCH
You can change by -N option how many smbtorture processes work.
Please replace "192.168.0.1" to your Samba server.
