Samba slow to open

[Serangan]

Hi,

I lost my old smb.conf (due to reinstall) and i made a new one, but now, whenever it is the first time to open a shared folder, it will take 30+ seconds to open. This didn't happen before and I was wondering if anyone has an answer.

This is my smb.conf

[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
log level = 2
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
read raw = No
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
read only = No
oplocks = No

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
browseable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = Yes
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
read only = Yes

[cdrom]
comment = Samba server's CD-ROM
path = /cdrom
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
locking = No
preexec = /bin/mount /cdrom
postexec = /bin/umount /cdrom

[Photos]
comment = Shared folder for photos
path = /storage/photos/photos

[Backup]
comment = Shared folder for backups
path = /storage/backup

[Music]
comment = Shared folder for music
path = /storage/music/music

[Software]
comment = Shared folder for software
path = /storage/software

[Downloads]
comment = Shared folder for downloads
path = /storage/downloads/downloads


Is there anything wrong? or something that could be changed to improve speed? And the specs of the server are in my sig.

Thanks


Edit:

It seemed to speed up as soon as I disabled the cdrom share. No idea why but im happy now.

Just passing, not sure if this is relevant, but FWIW:

Open a Gnome terminal and run the command testparm. You'll see this:
Invalid combination of parameters for service homes. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service printers. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service print$. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service cdrom. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service Photos. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service Backup. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service Music. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service Software. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.
Invalid combination of parameters for service Downloads. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set.


That's interesting

Um, ok... no idea what all that means.

I get that without the cdrom share. So I guess it has nothing to do with that.

Should i change the oplocks = no to yes?

What will that do?

I don't know anything about oplocks -- I just ran your smb.conf through testparm and out popped the error. You had put the line there for some reason I suppose -- but if not, then try this: Delete the line altogether and see what happens.

Also, you can check out oplocks here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html.
