Re: [Samba] extreme performance requirements

We find that while Samba (with Linux) gives very good performance compared to windows, we find that as time progresses, minimum latency seems to step up while under load from our application. It is almost as if the server is trying to throttle the session. Our application will eventually fail due to this increasing latency. We have tried this with 2.6 and 2.4 kernels (Mandrake 10 and 9.2, repectively), with the packaged versions of Samba that come with those distros. Does anyone know anything we could try? Thanks. In having quite some experience with Samba on MDK, I have found that making use of hdparm to test/tune the drives ends up being the way to get the best performance out of the system; as well, editing the /etc/sysconfig/harddisks config file assists in performance as well. Once you've found the best params for your drive(s) and have rebooted the machine, you may find that you have quite a boost in your levels of performance. Something to also consider is the filesystem type that you're using; with MDK, ReiserFS seems to be the best for overall performance (and for recovery).
