Gatch Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 We are using Mandrake 8.2 as a server in a classroom environment. We also have an intranet using “Apache”, an E-Mail Server and are using Jabber for instant messaging. Our server is using a 1.2GHz processor with 512 MB of ram. When we first start “Samba” and “Atalk”(for Mac’s) or restart them the system works great. However, after a few hours, file coping and saving really slow down. We can restart the “Samba” and “Atalk” and everything is fine again. It was suggested to us that our Cache and/or RAM were not cleaning out old data and that there is a utility we could set up to accomplish this task. How can we keep our server responding quickly? Please give me any suggestions in a step by step fashion as I am not Linux literate. Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 So, all the clients are Macs? Is there any way you can look at the smb logs and nmb logs at the time of the slowdown and see if you see any errors? If it's not a gradual slowdown, then the bottleneck should be obvious in the logs. /var/log/samba/log.smbd /var/log/samba/log.nmbd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
