Re: [Samba] About Samba running in a Solaris 11 Express container
Hi Samba Gurus, Would like to check if Samba release (latest 3.6.5) is already supporting Solaris 11 Express (x86) running in non-global zone or only in global-zone ?

Re: [Samba] Re: Samba running slow
In pure mathematical terms, the maximum throughput on 100MB ethernet is: 100Mb / 8 = 12.5 MegaBytes per second. That assumes, of course, a perfect world with a 100% efficient protocol. Of course, this doesn't exist. So in network design, if you have one 100MB link from the switch your server is plugged into serving multiple clients, then best case throughput is: 12.5 / N Where N is the number of clients pulling data from the Samba server at any moment in time. Gigabit is a bit better of course: 1000Mb / 8 = 125 MegaBytes per second Assuming your server's hardware can sustain that throughput or more, 100MB switches with gigabit ports to cascade from the server backbone are the most desirable. If your server can definitely sustain better than the 125 MBps threshold (and you have load balanced NICs installed), it would be beneficial to either place your heaviest users directly on your server backbone or to have multiple cascaded switches.

I'm still not sure what is the root cause: - kernel 2.6.19-1 driver r8169 for Realtek RTL8111/8168B gigabit controller cards, or - samba not being able to work with the network driver? Samba has no knowledge of drivers, it just uses the kernel interfaces.

RE: [Samba] Re: Samba running slow
Hello, I just read your thread in the mailing-list and I do experience exactly the same problem. I have the exact same hardware (Asus P5B, Core 2 Duo) and the same version of kernel and samba. Actually I have tried the 'd' revision of samba but that doesn't work either. Unfortunately, I have not been able to solve it just yet and I too would very much like to tackle this issue. Now I am not a samba/kernel hacker but my gut feeling tells me that it is a combination of the latest kernel 2.6.19-1 with samba. Thanks to the cutting edge hardware, I cannot downgrade to an earlier kernel version to test as this do not support all features of the mobo. Today, I am planning on compiling the 2.6.19-2 kernel and see if that helps. 2.6.20 is also coming out soon but I don't see anything in the change log what could lead to solving this issue. Another approach might be to change the NIC to a standard PCI 100 Mbit card which is well supported by the kernel for years, but I would very much like to get it working in the current setup. I will keep you posted if I find anything. I would really appreciate it if you let me know when you are making progress too. If someone else has ideas, I am also open for suggestions.
