Subject: [netatalk-admins] slow find/directory info

Hi,
I got a netatalk server setup for a customer, hardware/software specs to
follow:
- Dual PII/333
- 128MB RAM
- Adaptec ULTRA2-LVD Controller
- 9GB ULTRA2-LVD Barracuda
- 3C905-TX
- Linux 2.1.130-SMP
- Debian 2.1
- netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.1.1
- (anything missing?)
The clients are connected via 100Mbit Ethernet and a Bay Networks 8-port
100baseTX switch. The actual transfer rate is round about 8-9MB/sec (which
is more than sufficent), but this speed drops down as low as 1MB/sec if I
either copy a directory full of small files (~5000 files) or just fetch
the directory information for that particular directory. File Find
operations also take horribly long until they return a result. Using
the UNIX commands locally usually takes only a few seconds. I know it's
never going to be as fast as it is at the console, but there really has
to be some sort of problem regarding my setup or something. Any ideas what
I could do to speed these things up?
