In experiments today with Ronnie's most recent compounding patches I see the expected significant improvements in create/mkdir/unlink/rmdir operations over SMB3 mounts (tests were to Samba but would be similar to all modern servers). See below: "touch /mnt/file" goes from 6 request/response pairs to 4 with Ronnie's compounding patches "rm /mnt/file" from 5 to 2 request/response pairs "mkdir /mnt/newdir" 6 pairs to 3 pairs "rmdir /mnt/newdir" 6 pairs down to 2 pairs Good job Ronnie! -- Thanks, Steve
