Somewhat off-topic, except I’m using Samba from pkgsrc in a native zone on SmartOS…
Does anyone have any hints on how to optimize Samba read (and write, to an extent) performance? I’m using Samba 4.2.1nb5 from pkgsrc. I’m serving from a zone, which is why I’m not using the in-kernel cifs server. Using iperf I can get 940Mbps over bge0 to my Mac (wired). I can get something over 130MB/s if I dd a file from my pool to /dev/null, but reading the same file over Samba from my Mac (wired) using cp only nets me ~ 35MB/s. I’m mostly reading/writing multi-GB files (videos), and I don’t have an SLOG or L2ARC device yet. Anyway, something in Samba is only giving me about 25% of my underlying pool’s read performance and I’d be interested in knowing how folks here have tuned Samba. Most advice I see on the net is Linux-specific, cargo-cultish, and more to the point, doesn’t make a difference :-) Thanks in advance, Chris ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
