As I recall sendfile() is a compile option also so you have to make
sure that samba is compiled with that flag.
Not sureif it is that by default either. =)

Recently I've seen several suggestions on this list for the
enabling of "use
sendfile" as a means to improve throughput. I thought this was
peculiar
since the doc says it is enabled by default. I guess it isn't.
On both RHEL4 (Samba v3.0.10) and Fedora Core 4 (Samba v3.0.14) the
entry
for "use sendfile" in the smb.conf says:
Default: use sendfile = yes
Hmm. In fact I just discovered that sendfile is *not* enabled by
default in
these 2 environments. By doing a verbose output from testparm I
see that
in both these environments "use sendfile" is set to No.
So what is going on here? Is the doc just wrong or is Red Hat
disabling
this option in their Samba packages?
I'm running a Samba v3.0.10 server in RHEL4. The clients for this
server
are Linux, Win2K and WinXP machines. Given these circumstances,
should I
enable "use sendfile" to get better throughput?
Thanks.
