Réf. : [Samba] Samba Tuning

[Xavier DRONIOU]

I've the same problem on solaris 8 with samba 2.2.8a i've try many options
like theses:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=16384 
SO_RCVBUF=16384
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
oplocks = no
getwd cache = yes

Following problems with samba performance on a Solaris 9 box I have traced
this to the number of files being accessed by an application... Seems when 
a
process is kicked off on the client it goes to a directory which has many
thousands of small files and does some processing on them, while this is
running samba performance drop dramatically.

It seems performance is fine when dealing with a small number of large 
files
but when dealing with many thousands of small files (4k or so) it's a
different story.

Is there any tuning I can do to improve the situation?

Samba Server: SunFire V880 running Solaris 9 (112233-08)

netbios name = UXHSMSVC01
server string =

username map = /etc/sfw/smbusers
log level = 1
log file = /var/samba/%m.log
show add printer wizard = No
socket address = 10.192.34.61
oplocks = No

[mfs_cell_1]
comment = File Scanning - Cell 1
path = /mfs/Scan_Cell_1/export
guest account =
valid users = mfssvc
read only = No

[nlife]
comment = Life
path = /nlife/export
guest account =
valid users = nlifesvc
read only = No

Have set oplocks = No as many processes my access the same files at the 
same
time and thaught we maybe spending a lot of time oplock processing. Made 
no
difference...

Logs are not showing errors (at log_level 3) but have a lot of activity...

Cheers,

Simon
