Hi!
I have samba 2.2.3a running on my elderly 200mmx-petium box with 48 megs of
ram. My NW-Card is a Davicom 100Mbit card. The nw-performance is not that
bad, 5-7megabytes per second nfs and ftp performance. But my
samba-performance (test clients: win98, win2k, smbclient/linux) is pretty
poor: just 2-3megs/second.
my smb.conf-file looks like that:
---snip---
[global]
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = fileserver
server string = fileserver
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
deadtime = 15
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=65536
SO_RCVBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
oplocks = yes
max xmit = 65553
getwd cache = yes
lpq cache = yes
os level = 33
preferred master = True
domain master = True
wins support = Yes
invalid users = root mail bin adm uucp
read only = No
hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
---snap--- (below share configuration)
Can you give me any hints on improving performance? I don't want to make a
hardware-upgrade, 5-7megs/second is enough for my small home server, but 2
megs is not sufficent for me.
I am running gentoo-linux, kernel 2.4.17, i increased /proc/sys/net/core/rmem
/ wmem values, that helped for nfs performance (with default values no change
to smb performance).
Thanks in advance! :)
Manuel
