A software vendor states that their SMB client software may perform better if the maximum packet size of SMB commands is limited to 32768 bytes. How would Samba be instructed to limit the size of requests it will accept?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Set max xmit = 32768 in smb.conf. The `max xmit` parameter in the `smb.conf` file controls the maximum size of data that Samba will attempt to send in a single SMB packet. Setting `max xmit = 32768` will instruct the Samba server to limit the size of requests it will accept to 32768 bytes, optimizing compatibility with the specified client.

Answer

A. echo 32768 > /proc/sys/smb/max-rx This path is not a standard or valid kernel parameter for controlling Samba's maximum receive buffer size.

Answer

B. Start the smbd daemon with the -x 32768 option. The `smbd` daemon does not have a `-x` option for setting the maximum transmit size.

Answer

C. Set socket options = TCP_MAXRX_HALF in smb.conf. `socket options = TCP_MAXRX_HALF` affects TCP socket behavior for receiving data, but it does not directly control the maximum SMB packet size that Samba processes or sends.
