some feedback... I created my own quick and dirty concurrent connection pressure test which is not very scientific, but importantly I could still access resources fine on the opensolaris server from Windows with CIFS while the test was running.
The test was run from both Mac OS10.5 and SLES 10 SP2 both connecting to single CIFS shared zfs filesystem on opensolaris 2009/06 containing users home directories. I created a bash script to mount a total of 600 opensolaris home directories with 600 users onto 600 mount points on the clients.So I then had 600 concurrent CIFS connections as viewed from netstat on opensolaris. I spawned off simultaneous instances of fdtree - https://computing.llnl.gov/?set=code&page=sio_downloads which is 'software (a bash script) is used for testing the metadata performance of a file system' and therefore created load. In total there were 300 fdtree actions creating complex directory and file structures in each CIFS share mount point. My opensolaris server is just a VM running in ESX server, allocated 1 CPU and 6GB RAM. As I say, it is not hugely deterministic, but it goes some way to giving me the confidence that CIFS on solaris can handle some anger. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list cifs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
