We have usually set the following to get more performance on our NetWare clients.
1.1. Max Directory Cache Buffers 6,000 1.2. Min Directory Cache Buffers 2,000 1.3. Max Packet Receive Buffers 10,000 1.4. Min Packet Receive Buffers 2,000 1.5. Maximum concurrent disk writes 750 (this best practice but some set it to 1000) 1.6. Maximum concurrent directory cache writes 150 We have also found it best to ensure the NIC is set to the correct speed and duplex setting (i.e. 100 Full) not auto auto. Being that I'm not a CNE and the above are Netware settings I would use caution to ensure they will work on your servers. Or, maybe some CNE's on the list might comment on the settings above.

Do you run antivirus on this server? if yes, which product? Do you know config.nlm from Novell? If so you could use it, and I would be happy to go through the config.txt for you?

Backups are straight to a diskpool. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with any experience of successful backup of small files in a Netware environment, or anyone who has any ideas as to what might be done to improve the situation.
