Sizing of Samba Linux Server
Do you know any performance of sizing recommendations about Samba 4.7.1 ?
For few informations :
2vCPUs / 1 Core
8GB of RAM
140 simultaneous Windows users / 250 at most /
20 NFS volumes mounted via fstab
This question because my RAM is all eated up by the buffer/cache (normal according to last chapter of : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Performance_Tuning).
Users are not complaining but I don't know if the servers is needing more or less.

What are the load average numbers for the box? Is any/much swap being used?

True, I forgot to give those points : The load average is 0.04, 0.06, 0.06. Near no swap usage : 96 kib used CPU and RAM on top's graph look really calm

Then you don't have any issues... use of buffer/cache is a normal thing, as long as you aren't swapping (excessively) or experiencing high I/O wait times (what the load average measures) you are good to go.

It sounds really logic, this is a good way to audit that. Thanks for it.
