Okay, I've posted this before but I've done more testing. I am getting some seriously slow speeds on a server using smbfs (not Samba Server). I'm using a Linux server and mounting Windows 2000 Server shares to it. In my test, the W2K server is on the same local subnet with the Linux server. I'm getting a little better than 10MByte per minute transfering files from the shared mount point to another directory on the Linux server. The Linux server is: SuSE9 Proliant DL380 RAID 5 w/ 3200 HW RAID Controller 1G RAM Intel 100 3163 NIC I also have a RH 8 server on the same subnet. A similar test there yielded better results. A 14MByte transfer took 27secs. I know my NIC is fine as I can ftp that 14MByte file back to the suspect server in about 17secs. Furthermore, I tested a cp of a 20MByte file from a server offsite over a WAN link (same city, but a different site we have) and still achieved 10Mbyte per minute. Maybe I'm working under a limit of some sort? Something is really screwing up the smb protocal on the Proliant. I can't figure it out. It's running Samba-client v.2.2.8a and a stock 2.4.21 kernel. I have the exact config on another server that runs fine. Is there anything I should be specifically looking for? I've checked the doc at samba.org and tried some tweaks. No luck. I get better speeds on my untweaked, relatively untouched server. I am completely at a loss. Any ideas would be greately appreciated. <<JAV>> <<JAV>>
