[Samba] questions regarding 40G Samba Server

[Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator]

Hi,
we expect a growth in bigger file transfers (files n*10 GB up to
multiple 100GB) on a regular base from a smaller number of users
combined with the "normal" office use with word files, mail profiles etc
from about 500 users.

We plan a new Fileserver/Storage Head with 40Gb NICs client and storage
side.

What would be regarding to samba be of more importance: multiple Cores
or more MHz per core?

    Any suggestions? Feedback? Thanks! and regards . Götz
