Dedicated server with OpenSUSE13.1 only for Samba:

srvbcp02:/etc # rpm -qa | grep -i samba
samba-winbind-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586
samba-client-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586
libsamba-util0-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586
libsamba-credentials0-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586
yast2-samba-client-3.0.1-3.1.noarch
libsamba-hostconfig0-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586
yast2-samba-server-3.0.2-2.1.4.noarch
samba-libs-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586
samba-4.1.6-3.18.1.i586

Server have dedicated SATA drive (/dev/sda1 ) for Samba Share.
This is Write speed to this /dev/sda1:

srvbcp02:/srv/bcp/vol01 # LANG=en_US.UTF-8 dd if=/dev/zero of=test.tmp bs=500K count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
524288000 bytes (524 MB) copied, 3.93527 s, 133 MB/s
srvbcp02:/srv/bcp/vol01 # 
/CODE]


When copy from my XPSP3 to the SAMBASHARE have speed only:  &lt;=9000Kb/s

Server with Samba have 1GLanNIC.
XPSP3 Have 100MbLanNic

Please, help me

Can you post the contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf? It may shed some light on the problem.

The socket options parameter is a historic relic and generally slows a modern kernel ( 2.6 or more). See for example
any of these:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-March/154326.html
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-November/151709.html
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-March/139036.html

I would suggest you comment out both of these. ( I suspect only the last one is used anyway, when two values are set for
a parameter it is generally only the last which is used.)

I would also suggest that you allow these to go to default values unless you have first tested.(comment them out):


min receivefile size
aio read size
aio write size
aio write behind

with or withoue “socket” - speed no changed
Speed copy from the XPSP3 to SAMBA <=9000Kb/sec

May be problem not in the Samba…:frowning: Why ?
This my new Tes:
In the my opensuse13.1(with samba) - add ftp server.

tnftp-20100108-2.1.2.i586
yast2-tftp-server-3.0.0-2.1.4.noarch
srvbcp02:/srv/ftp #

From the XPSP3 put file ( over ftp ) to the FTPServer(my linux opensuse13.1)…
Speed = 9727,94 Kb/sec

Slowly…XPSP3 have 100Mb LanCard. OpenSUSE13.1 have 1000Gb Lan card…

Server with Samba have 1GLanNIC.
XPSP3 Have 100MbLanNic
/quote
I’m not sure just what the problem is. The NIC on XP is rated at 100Mb and you are getting 85-95Mb. IMHO that is about
as good as you would expect.

As Samba4 will first try to connect with smb2, which XP does not understand, and then negotiate down. You might get
marginally better performance between Samba and XP with these parameters:


client max protocol=NT1
server max protocol=NT1

However, setting this will likely seriously degrade performance between Samba and Windows versions Vista or higher.

Thak your for suggestion.
Result:
Step-1: add

client max protocol=NT1
server max protocol=NT1

in toe the /etc/samba/smb.conf

Step-2:


service smb stop
service smb start

Step-3:
From my XPSP3 open Far and copy test file (nw65sp8.zip ) from local drive XP to the L:( \srvbcp02\srvbcp02 )

Speed without change… <=9200Kb/s

Can you explain how you are benchmarking the speed?
How are the two machines connected?
