I am mounting a WinNT server share from redhad 9, and it takes nearly 2 minutes to connect for the first time. Once it connects everything is great.
This server has hundreds of thousands of directories and files, and I believe it is taking a long time because it caches the directory information or checks all the permissions or something along these lines. I setup another share without any sub folders and it connected very quickly. Is there a way to disable these initial checks so it connects faster the first time?
I need to access files deep in the tree, but I have the full path already and it is only being used programmaticly so I don't need to do any browsing.
Any optimization tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James
