Re: [Gluster-devel] exporting glusterfs with samba

[Miklos Balazs]

Hello,

One more thing that I forgot to mention is that I was using version
1.3.0-pre3, and now upgraded to pre4 but it didn't get any better.

And I have tryed to export another directory with samba, which is not
under the gluster tree, and I can write there with 25-30MB/s. Also I
can write with this speed to the gluster share from the samba node
directly.

The network hierarchy is like this:

On node5
eth0 - 192.168.0.40
eth1 - 192.168.2.15

On node6
eth0 - 192.168.0.41
eth1 - 192.168.2.16

The 0.x and 2.x subnets are on physically separate networks, samba
clients connect on 0.x and gluster communication is on 2.x.

Here are my config files:
(I have tryed using the io-threads translator, but it didn't made any
difference either)
