I'm having a similar problem. I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8, and Win2k and XP. About 2 weeks ago, my Roaming Profile started loading/unloading REALLY slow. It had been taking 30-45 seconds to load, then all of a sudden it started taking 2-5 minutes. Yes, my profile was getting large (100 Meg I think). But it had never been a problem before, even when it was larger than that.
I've gone through my profile, and dumped probably 3/4's of what's in it. I've really tried to get the profile to a small state. It is actually smaller than when I started having these problems, and it still takes 2+ minutes to load and unload my Roaming Profile. I have noticed that the NTUSER.DAT file is around 2 Meg, and hasn't changed size even after dumping stuff. I know that it probably isn't a samba specific problem, but I am looking for some tips on what I can do to reduce the time loading/unloading profiles as it will be a problem as people's profiles do get larger. -Jim ************************************************* Jim Kreuziger [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************* On Tue, 8 Jul 2003, Nathan Ehresman wrote: > On Mon, Jul 07, 2003 at 11:38:13AM -0400, Damian Gerow wrote: > > The profile itself is something like 800k, and this is all over a 100Mb > > LAN.
