One thing I should mention is that during the file copy I noticed
performance problems with directories that had several files in them. I
thought the problem was with windows nt but the processes that seem to be
running the slowest hit these directories. By several files I mean 35,000+ .
The size of the files does not seem to matter 1k or 5m both are slow.
Sorry for all the emails,
Robert

Hi Robert,

	Pankaj forwarded your message to me as I was the
person who set up the VA Research Linux server for the
PC Week benchmark.

Could you elaborate a little more on your configuration
and problems ?

In addition, it may be advantagous to move the discussion
to samba at samba.org or samba-technical at samba.org so more
minds than mine can work on your problem :-).

Regards,

	Jeremy Allison,
	Samba Team.
