It would help to know whether you are doing mostly writing to or reading from the server. Forgot to mention that another thing that may help (besides the large number of improvements that already went into 2.6.12 already to drastically reduce the expensive large buffer usage, and the even newer experimental CIFS write code) are two configuration changes - either dropping the buffer size to relieve pressure on the slab (e.g. to just under 8K - perhaps 7800 bytes) or increasing the number of large buffers in the pool (they are insmod parms of cifs.ko - you can do modinfo on cifs.ko to see them) so fewer allocations are done. This would only be needed if multiple processes were accessing the mount at one time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
