[Samba] Curious Question about Multiple CIFSD's
I know this isn't the right place to ask this question, but does anybody know if it's possible to force a Linux client machine to spawn multiple cifsd's when connecting to a SINGLE Samba Server? I seem to be running into some Linux cifs client limits with a single connection. One cifs client can talk to multiple Samba servers at around 100 MB/sec (aggregate) over a single GigE connection. But the client stumbles trying to do more than around 40-45 MB/sec to/from a single Samba Server. If I connect some shares from Samba Server A via CIFS and other shares via NFS, I can get about double the aggregate throughput that I get if I connect all by CIFS. So, the bandwidth between the two machines has the potential to be much higher than what I get just by CIFS. And of course FTP and RSYNC without encryption shows almost line speed. I am experimenting with some of the CIFS tunables (cifs_max_pending and CIFSMaxBufSize). For various reasons, I have to mount with directio so wsize and rsize aren't really relevant. But it seems the easy way out might be to somehow get multiple cifsd processes talking to the same server. Is it possible? What if I give more than one IP Address to the SAMBA Server? Can I connect some shares to one IP address and other shares to the other IP Address? Will that result in more than one cifsd?

[Samba] Curious Question
Thanks for the help on this mailing list, I now have my personal home server allowing access without having to actually enter any login information. All I had to do was set it to anonymous server and use the 'hosts allow' parameter so that only my home machines can access it. However, now I'm curious. This will probably sound like the same question I just asked on here but, would it be possible to assign an ip address to a specific user account? For example, at home I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer. As well as the server running samba. Let's say I had two file shares on the server /var/desktop and /var/laptop. Would I be able to configure samba so that it looks at the ip address of the computer requesting access and only showed the appropriate share? So when I access my server from my laptop I would only see the /var/laptop share, and vice versa with the desktop? Again, without having to enter any username or password? This is mere curiosity on my part. Hypothetical question for future reference. -- Cheers, Matt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
