Hi Bill, I already tried updating AIX. I'm on 5300-04 (only a couple of security related fixes added since the tech level) on my production box (we're using Samba 3.0.21a on that box). And I'm on the latest Technology Level + all the latest fixes on my test box (and that's where I currently have 3.0.22).
Both machines are setup with JFS2 and neither use inline logs. I am not all that familar with debugging tools like truss (I haven't really done any real programming since my college days ... 6-7 years ago). But I just ran: truss -f -o /datavg/smb_truss.out /opt/Samba/3.0.22/sbin/smbd -D I used Windows Explorer to browse to my test directory (with about 30K files in it), highlighted all the files and hit delete. I let it delete a few files and then cancelled. The truss file is about 185MB (4MB zipped). Do you have a place where I can upload that? -Claus > > > > > > But the nfs or local access isn't performing the same access pattern > > > that Samba is by being driven by the client.
