[opensuse] Samba performance issues with 42.3 compared to 42.2?
list, my situation begins with a simple 42.2 running a few samba shares in a tiny network, nothing fancy, two windows users, having their mozilla thunderbird profiles on that samba share upgraded to 42.3 and the windows users tell me that their thunderbird loading and browsing around their mails and overall performance of their thunderbird is slow(er) now has anything major changed in the samba compared to the samba from the previous leap version? i am not a samba expert with its endless configurations nor have i ever optimised for speed or anything at all, but people seem to notice something now that is either kernel, network or samba related. any ideas? tia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

has anything major changed in the samba compared to the samba from the previous leap version?

Looks like 42.2 is on samba 4.4.2 while 42.3 is on 4.6.5+git. There have been a large number of changes in samba and several to address CVE's for remote execution. You haven't said how you are running samba, but I presume it is in 'standalone' mode and not serving as a domain controller. In order to help further, you need to post the output of your smb.conf. Easy way is to just post the output of $ testparm (which will just provide the shares list and any non-default smb.conf settings) Also check for, and if any present post, smbd/nmbd errors or warnings: # journalctl -b -u smbd -u nmbd Then I, or some other soul, can help further... -- David C.

its just a very simple server with a few shares. No domain no nothing. Workgroup, nmb and smb come up norally and shares are there, only people say its slower than it used to be. Thats why I was wondereing. stnadalone server maybe will some more for more people on the list upgraded to 42.3 and maybe I see some similar observations. thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
