Samba3-3.x performance much slower than Samba-3.x

After hunting around and finally finding that I needed to upgrade my
Samba-3.x server on SLES 11 SP1 to Samba3-3.x, in order to get it to
work with Win 2008 R2 servers, we are no seeing MUCH slower read times
from the server. The server is the same, just newer Samba3-3.x RPMs.

I’ve tried messing around with the locks:

Code:

[global]
workgroup = **********************
realm = **********************
encrypt passwords = yes
bind interfaces only = yes
netbios name = **********************
server string = Samba Server
printable = no
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = no
log level = 1
log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
max log size = 4096
debug timestamp = yes
security = ADS
domain logons = no
local master = yes
dns proxy = no
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind use default domain = Yes
password server = **********************
remote announce = **********************
winbind nested groups = yes
winbind enum users = no
winbind enum groups = no
allow trusted domains = No
create mask = 2770
directory mask = 2770
usershare allow guests = No
winbind refresh tickets = yes
kernel oplocks = no
strict locking = no
oplocks = no

…but nothing is helping to get this “new” server as fast as the
"old.

Any Samba experts out there have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi
I would looking at installing the SLE rpms as discussed in the other
thread on samba naming. Then if your still having performance issues we
can see what to do.
