[Samba] Extremely slow during browsing some directories

[Linwei Cheng]

Hello,

I've read the relative thread on "STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND", and I think 
that's part of my issue:

1. When I map the shared folder as a disk to my windowsXP and Windows2K 
machine, then every step exploring the mapped disk or directories under this 
disk, takes more than 30sec to response from the samba server. I use 
ethereal to trace the network, and found that there are a lot of "SMB Trans2 
request, QUERY_PATH_INFO" and "SMB Trans2 response QUERY_PATH_INFO" 
roundtrip while my windows machine waiting.

2. When I don't map the shared folder to my windows machines, things are 
better -- the slowness doesn't happen frequently, but it does happend 
randomly. When it happens, I got "STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND" error 
reported.

I just updated my Samba to "3.0.12pre-1" from "3.0.10.fc3", but it seems all 
my issues remain as before. Does this issue introduced in certain Samba 
version? Does anybody suffer the same problem as mine now or before?

Regards,
linwei
