Hi all... Last monday i migrated form novell 4.0 to Samba 3.0 PDC. The server acts as a file server for 30 workstations (Win2000) using an aplicattion that combines clipper (with .dbf files) and delphi (uses paradox .px and .db). Its perfomance has been very poor since i changed the server. PLEASE HELP ME, since its in production and i really don know what to do. thanks,
Samba and Linux is a great combination for providing a reliable fast file server on a network. Whether you are using Microsoft Access, FoxPro, Quickbooks or CA-Clipper, with any multi-user fileserver database application there are configurations done both on the server and the client systems for this to work reliably. The main settings to look for when setting up the Samba server to host a database application are: lock spin, and oplocks.
