Hello!
I'm using Fedora Core 1 on two boxes as Samba-server. The first one shares a 40 Gb ReiserFS partition and the second one a 120 GB Ext3 on a mirrored RAID set. Both use the same (or nearly the same) configuration file - I've included a copy in this mail - but while the first one needs around 30 sec to read or write a 100 Mb file the second one needs 30 sec to write but around 20 min to read the same file. Both share the same network connection to a 100 Mbit switch. How is it possible that one of the two servers is so incredible slow to read? Has anyone experienced the same problem and knows a hint how I can get the same performance from both servers? -- both are Athlon 1800 or 2000 systems, the faster server has 256 Mb RAM, the slower one 512 MB.
Greetings
Alexander
