I've installed samba on pretty basic install on centos 4.4. I'm running a P4 2.8Ghz, 1G Ram, Raid 5 SATA-2 disks running on both a 3ware and Highpoint Rocket raid (this is going to get swapped out for a 3ware card soon). When users copy files from a mac os x client I'm seeing the cpu load avg (in top) get up to 7. These copies included 150+Gigs of lots of smaller files inside lots of directories. Is this type of load normal?
Yes 7% is normal for software (or fake hardware) raid 5. With the real hardware raid 5 with the 3 ware card this should go down to 3 or 4%.
