Hi. I am configuring samba as a video server and was able to tune it up to the point where it works great. Since existing configuration has Windows Servers, I may always compare the performance.
There are two problems at the moment. 1. When I have four client writing (encoders) and one reading(player), my reading client is getting data smoothly. It looks like my reading client tries to cache data first and then play it back. It is not happenning when I have 2 clients writing. It would be relevant to say, that each client and server are on dedicated network and each one has 100 full-duplex connection. 2. One of my clients is "Adobe Premiere" and I am loosing performance, while reading file from Samba. It happens even when my server is dedicated to this client only. My configuration --Intel 800Mhz --1Gb of Ram --Red Hat 8.0 --Samba 3.0 ( older version behaves even worse) Have somebody faced similar issues or configured Samba for really large reads and writes?
