hi All,

We have a glusterfs cluster with 5 nodes on Ubuntu 12.04 amd64.
We use this smb.conf:

[global]
        socket options =  IPTOS_THROUGHPUT TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY 
SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_RCVBUF=131072
        read raw = yes
        server string = %h
        write raw = yes
        #oplocks = yes
        max xmit = 131072
        dead time = 15
        getwd cache = yes
        use sendfile=yes
        block size = 131072
        load printers = no
        aio read size = 16384
        aio write size = 16384
        aio write behind = /*.*/
        wins support = no
        local master = no
        wins server = 192.168.3.7
        veto files = /.AppleDouble/
        delete veto files = yes
        hide dot files = yes
        printing = BSD
        max protocol = SMB2
        min protocol = SMB2

[projects]
        path = /W/Projects
        browseable = yes
        public = yes
        guest ok = yes
        read only = no
        force user = user
        force group = user



The speed is fine with this configuration, around 100Mbyte/s. If I change protocol to NT1, the speed drops to around 50Mbyte/s.

This is from man page:

NT1: Current up to date version of the protocol. Used by Windows NT. Known as 
CIFS.
SMB2: Re-implementation of the SMB protocol. Used by Windows Vista and newer. The Samba implementation of SMB2 is currently marked experimental!


Why is it still experimental? What does it mean exactly? Is there anything I should avoid it, like file corruption or so?
Why NT1 is _much_ slower then SMB2?




Thank you,
tamas
