No, I have not any problem. With use sendfile = yes it works great. My question is, why is this configuration option set to be off in CentOS?
You know - when I want to read something about oplocks (advantages & disadvantages) it was very easy - there are tons of documentation. When I want to read something about use sendfile, it is big problem, becuse there is nothing.
My question is why is this option disabled as default in CentOS? And I am not alone with this question - http://fixunix.com/samba/184987-samba-red-hat-use-sendfile.html
It is two WD Caviar GP in SW RAID 1 and LVM2, so there can´t be a problem.

I am asking because of risks and disadvantages. This is same as oplocks - it may be performance tweak, but it is potentially dangerous (data corruption).
If you are using XP and Vista you should not need it. I did not say it was a disk problem either. Please bottom post all replies. All it really does is keep an in memory copy. If the server is heavily loaded you can start swapping witch will farther reduce performance. Also like the man page says read raw = yes can be set also with out sendfile. Problem, you really dont say what the exact problem is...Slow?
