[Samba] Any Known Share limitations or performance issues with large file systems

[Ryan Bair]

You may want to try switching to the deadline I/O scheduler. I had
issues with slow directory listings using the CFQ scheduler when the
server was under even the slightest load. I tried tweaking some of the
CFQ settings but ultimately gave up as I could never beat the
responsiveness of the deadline scheduler.

I am sharing out approximately 7TB via samba and a 'few' of my users are complaining of latency when accessing their shares via Windows Explorer.  Mind you the disk is about 93% full which I am sure is a factor but before I go into battle I wanted  to make sure there were no known limitations or issues.
