Hi! I would like to use samba to share a directory with about 1.5 Mio Files. The environment is HP/UX 11.11 on a HP9000 (4 procs, 4GB RAM), vxfs 3.5, EMC Symmetrix and samba 2.09.
When I share the directory via samba and access it from a Win2k machine, the Windows explorer hangs and smbd spawns about 15 processes that use quite much cpu time. After 30 minutes I killed the processes and the Windows explorer... Doing an ls -l on the directory only takes 2 minutes. Does anybody know how to tune samba to share large directories? I already increased shared mem size to 20MB and was surprised that smbstatus still reportet 1MB (yes, I restartet smbd...) Can anybody help me?
