SMB developers/users,
I'm experiencing a strange bottleneck when my files are mounted as SMB
2.0. When I launch multiple processes in parallel for benchmarking,
only the 1st one starts, and the rest won't start until the 1st one
finishes:
---------------------------------------test
programs--------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
./a.out&
./a.out&
./a.out&
wait
a.out is just a C program like this:
int main()
{
printf("greetings\n");
while (true);
return 0;
}
Apparently, this only affects SMB 2.0. I tried it with SMB 2.1, SMB
3.0, & SMB 3.02, and everything starts in parallel as expected.
I'm assuming SMB 3 and especially SMB 2.1 would share a common
implementation. How could 2.0 have the problem but not 3? It almost
seems the bottleneck is a feature instead of a bug? 8(
Can it still be fixed?
