Wolfgang, I think the bottleneck is what another poster has just pointed out - the fact that Samba is trying to support both long filenames and the older DOS 8.3 style 'mangled' filenames. The time spent building the list of mangled filenames for the huge numbers of files you have must be very time consuming. Have you looked at CPU load during the operation that the customer complains is too slow? If it is high, that lends credence to this theory.
The fact that you see a 2X increase in speed when going with ASU seems to also point to something other than the storage itself as the problem... -- /----------------------------------------------- | Jim Morris | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | AIM: JFM2001 \----------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
