Well they finally got tired of hearing FreeBSD this and FreeBSD that and asked me to bring a box in if I was so confident... tomorrow morning at 9am. So, I'm building a new box tonight and was wondering if anybody has any tried and true tuning parameters for samba on -stable. They currently have ~700 users attached. The load per user is pretty low but just rebooting and handling the reconnects has killed small boxes. As a side note, the data being served will be attached to the samba server via NFS.
