Hello list,
we have a small NAS-Box here in our office, running Linux 2.6.13 and
Samba 3 (exactly version string is not avalilable for me at moment).
Is there a limit, how many files samba will store in one folder? We
recognize a massive CPU-Load of the smbd-process, when accessing a
folder which stores round about 60 000 small text-files.
Is this a samba-Limit or a bug? The kernel and samba is compiled by the
NAS-manufactur, so no cimpiler-options are available for me.
There are no hard coded limits, only what the OS restricts.
However, storing large numbers of files in a folder is a bad
idea unless Samba is set up specially to do this. See here :
http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO
for details.
IIRC ext3 has a (compile time changeable) limit of 32k files per dir by
default ...
Ah, nice to know. That could be the real answer for my problem. I will
ask the manufactur of the NAS-Box.
Greets,
Markus
Simo.
