[Gllug] Samba optimisation

[Stephen Harker]

Hi All,
I have a Samba Server running here for the company. The 2 accounts staff use 
Sage Line 50 which is one of those DOS based Windows frontend type 
applications. When running reports, it has literally hundreds of files open 
at a time. These files are on a samba share and the end result is PAINFULLY 
slow reports. When run with the files on the local Hard-drive, they are quite 
quick and (perversely), they are quite quick when the files are shared from a 
Windows 95/98 machine. So its a samba/linux file-locking or somesuch issue. 
Is this a known issue? Is there something I can tweak in smb.conf?
Steve
