Sizing of Samba Linux Server












0















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.
