Hi..... Sorry for posting here also...

I'm trying to compile a list of things to do in order to make your
Linux/Samba server give as much performance as possible.... 
So, my request to all of you out there... 
Please send me whatever info you have on performance, and I'll 
try to make a decent howto 'round this subject...

I feel this is an important thing to do, since it's not that difficult
setting up a Samba server instead of an NT, but the performance 
issue is a whole other thing... 
M$ has a very broad range of courses on how to learn to get top-notch 
performance from your NT box, and we don't, and that might scare 
some people from migrating to Linux on their fileservers.... 
Especially after phreaky incidents like this one :

Anyway... I hope very much that you are interested in helping out on this 
project. So, if you could mail me everything you've got on how to tune a 
Samba server, preferably with some info on what it does, what it affects, 
which HW it is running on, which kernel version, which Samba version, 
which clients it affects, and if you've got before/after benchmarks... 
All sorts of stuff that refers to Samba performance. It would really help 
me a lot.....

Tanx in advance to all who'll participate and help this project on it's
way........
