Hi.  I'm seeking suggestions for sysctl variables to use on a highly-taxed
mission-critical file-server.  This computer exports two 630GB arrays via
SAMBA over gigabit on 3ware escalades.  Anyone have any tips?

The reason I'm asking is because smbd has been dropping processes lately.  I
recently added more render engines to our stack, so the file-server seems to
be choking somewhere.

dmesg shows:

-snip-
Nov 21 04:33:15 fnord /kernel: pid 1866 (smbd), uid 1005: exited on signal 6
Nov 21 04:20:01 fnord /kernel: Limiting icmp unreach response from 208 to
200 packets per second
-snip-
