Server: - AIX5.3 with JFS2 file systems - IBM pSeries 520 (1.9GHz p5+ CPU) - Samba 3.0.22 (and the same problem exists in 3.0.21a) - I tested Samba compiled from sources with GCC 4.0.2 and 3.4.3 same result for both. I also downloaded the AIX binary from http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/AIX/ and it has the same problem as well.
Client: MS Windows XP SP2 We have an application that creates a large number of files in a single directory. At peak times the number of files in that directory get up around 150,000. The files are around 10-200KB in size. When I try to delete files out of that directory then things get really slow ... up to 2-3 seconds per file ... and the CPU utilization on the server goes up near 100%. If I delete files out of that directory directly on the box then it goes very quickly so it seems like this is definitely a Samba issue. I tried the suggestions on this page: http://mirrors.uol.com.br/pub/samba/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO But that didn't make any difference either. I also put together a Linux test box (1.5GHz P4, Ubuntu Dapper Beta 7, Samba 3.0.22, ext3 file system) and the performance issue is not present on that platform. -Claus ____________________________________________ Claus Lund Systems Developer Department of Taxes Information Systems 133 State Street Montpelier, Vermont 05633-1401 (802) 828-3735 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
