For several months we encounter problems delays :

we have a server ( os: ubuntu server 12.04 ) with samba and ldap service . Our clients are on Mac, Windows and Linux client ubuntu . Huwaei NAS volumes are on NFS server

Some users copy large files ( from 1 GB to 10 GB) of their position on NFS volumes. When copying the flow is very slow and windows explorer will crash. MAC subfolders will take some time to appear and we also find delays . For a copy of files 1 or 4 GB can take an hour . In contrast files less than 1 G0 is fast enough.

I think samba over NFS application optimization , know if there is a way to optimize the speed by putting a particular command line in smb.conf ?

But if we go on CIFS ( on Windows workstations) flows are very fast ( 70 MB / s to 95 MB / s constant !)

So we can consider that CIFS is optimized for Windows. NFS client on MAC and Linux is not very optimized default

  • Have you tried adjusting the "max xmit" parameter in your smb.conf? Also, can you post the results of running "testparm -v"? Make sure to edit out any sensitive information. – Eirik Toft Apr 07 '14 at 19:48

  • The -v when added should show all of the current smb settings. That being said, try adding "* - nofile 16384" to your /etc/security/limits.conf file and reboot. – Eirik Toft Apr 08 '14 at 17:32
