We're trying to migrate RHEL3 and CentOS4 based samba servers over to CentOS5, but it's a bleeding disaster. We cannot get it to work reliably with any version of CentOS5, i386 or x86_64, the included 3.0.x version of samba or 3.4.x/3.5.x compiled from source.
The symptoms are: read access is extremely slow, write access seems to work in principle (e.g. creating a zeros-sized file on a share), but writing even small files (100k) to the share eventually times out with "out of memory or disk space" errors. These shares are home directories NFS-mounted on the samba server. Shares of local disks work fine as expected.
We have played with oplock settings and got some improvements, but not reliably, and this seems to effect XP and Seven clients differently.
We're running a CentOS 5 Samba server in our local town hall, mostly Linux clients, but also the odd XP machine, with a simple configuration: one open public share, then a series of protected shares.

Until now, folks seem to appreciate the setup as "vachement rapide" (something like : furiously fast).
I have to add that standard servers like Samba, Apache, MySQL, NFS, ... never (ever) gave me headaches with CentOS. That's why I'm using this fine distro.
