Can anyone shed any light ( or offer dome diagnosing tips) on why I
am seeing a considerable time delay in opening and writing back to
excel files on a Samba 3.3.4 build where as the same file on an
earlier build (2.2.8.a) does not exhibit the same latency ??? -
11 seconds as opposed to 3 seconds. The problem does not seem to
be as pronounced with other file types though it is still slower.
This problem has been plaguing me since I upgraded samba to a new
host and went production on it and NOW I am receiving a barrage of
complaints from admin staff with the "why did you break it" ?
underscore !!
At this point I have ruled out the obvious. Hosts running the builds
are on same network, storage is faster on the new build, same ver of
excel, same file (7mb) accessed from same machine. Newer build is
running on substantially faster hardware, and storage BUT is authing
against an ldap backend as opposed to /etc/passwd
Any suggestions are appreciated !! ( I will score big points and
possibly keep my job if i can solve this !!)
