Hello,

I am trying to figure out why my Samba server has very poor performance 
form server to client.
The server is a OpenSuSe 10.2 installation, I tested samba 3.0.23d and 
3.0.24.

File transfer from server > workstation: +- 1 Mbit
File transfer from workstation > server: +-  85 Mbit
(this is a 100 Mbit network)

The figures are the same for windows and unix workstations.

To test network hardware(fd/hd) and tcpstack/nic driver i tested with 
FTP and HTTP, both give about 90Mbit up and down.

I disabled the firewall for testing purposes.

I tested several smb.conf files (including my old fileserver config) to 
no avail, below the latest test smb.conf.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to debug?

Best regards,
Bas Hendriks
