No, just the IO from disk to net is slow... >> Lastly, The windows client which performed these tests was measuring >> local bandwidth at about 30-50Mb/s.

Search the lists for Samba performance advice - the default > configuration isn't nearly optimal. In my second post I mentioned that the IO windows was reporting was right. I was getting about 50Mb/sec but ZFS was reporting about 130M/s. I timed this by copying 20Gb and timing it with my watch. Just as a rough guide. I am curious about this inconsistency. If anyone has any ideas??? -D _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
