I've done some searching and haven't found any previous traffic on this exactly. I have two problems. I'm beginning to think they may be related:
Copying files from my XP system to my 9.1 samba server is HORRIBLE! Say
IIRC, there are some registry settings in XP that affect this. MS, in an effort to break Samba I'm sure, introduced some registry settings which check for things like remote task execution and stuff on the remote server, assuming it is a windows machine. I do not recall where specifically I found the info, and I recall a thread about similar problems on win2k not to long ago somewhere. Not sure if it was on this list though. With these additional clues though, you probably could come up with something on Google.Well since no one has taken me on, I'm going to reply to myself. :) I have found a potential clue. I just did a samba mount to my xp box from the linux box. Transfers FLY! I can transfer 650MB in 2 minutes flat. Take that same bunch of files from Xp to linux via samba and it will take ?? I stopped timing after 20 minutes. ???copying 650mb of Wav files. We're talking an hour or so! Looking at the traces, everything seems ok. We're moving it along at 1514 chunks.
Anybody have any clues? I did find something about disabling a web service, but it made no difference. At least I have a work around for now.
I was the one who asked the question about slow transfers using Samba. I asked on this list and on the newbie list. Still have not received any answers resolving the issue.
When a transfer to or from a Samba box is initiated from a Win2000 box it flies. When the same transfer is initiated from a Samba box to either another Samba box, or to a Win2000 box, it crawls at around 1/3 the speed of the Win2000 initiated transfer. Is this expected behavior?
