Hi All, I have gone through threads related to throughput issue in this list. Found few similar issue, but could not get the solution.
So looking for some advice from group. I am trying to use the samba to access a USB disk connected to our evaluation board which has xtensa core running at 400 MHz. Samba 3.5.x is running on the board. We are getting below throughput as tested with the colasoft capsa software on the client PC. Read: 27.9 mbps Write : 24.5 mbps Some memory info on my system– # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 99788 kB MemFree: 16872 kB Buffers: 12 kB Cached: 30504 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 8880 kB Inactive: 27952 kB Active(anon): 6336 kB Inactive(anon): 0 kB Active(file): 2544 kB Inactive(file): 27952 kB Unevictable: 0 kB Mlocked: 0 kB SwapTotal: 0 kB SwapFree: 0 kB Dirty: 0 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 6332 kB Mapped: 1984 kB Slab: 42292 kB SReclaimable: 1868 kB SUnreclaim: 40424 kB PageTables: 232 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB WritebackTmp: 0 kB CommitLimit: 49892 kB Committed_AS: 9636 kB VmallocTotal: 131007 kB VmallocUsed: 3296 kB VmallocChunk: 115927 kB # I was trying to find the where the bottleneck is? Initially thought issue could be at the USB, But when we tested only USB (without samba) throughput it was coming Read: 162.5 mbps Write : 80 mbps So with this it appears that some bottleneck is because of the use of samba. When I tried to access same USB disk with Linux using samba, throughput was more. Read: 157.9 mbps Write : 134.5 mbps So it appears that samba is not correctly configured on my board . Any pointers what we should investigate in this? Any help would be highly appreciated?
