I have done many tests to try to determine the poor performance on my
systems (FreeBSD-current connected directly to Windows XP via identical
Intel Pro 1000 cards) and my only conclusion is that Samba on FreeBSD
when talking to a Windows box is simply fubared. Im willing to bet thats
not the case on Linux. I can get great speeds (~30MB/s) using ftp
between the machines, but when i use Samba, i get a maximum of 11MB/s. I
have tried playing with mtu size, samba options, polling, but there does
not seem to be any visible bottlenecks, its just simply slow. It would
be great if someone could get to the bottom of this, its quite frustrating.
Has anyone tried mounting a FreeBSD/Samba share with smbfs from another
FreeBSD machine? Also are the Windows PC's stock or have you tried tweaking
TCP there?
Yes, here are my results, WindowsXP is stock.
Machine A
-----------
FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (1410.21-MHz 686-class CPU)
Mem: 512MB
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 2.1.7>
Samba-3.0.20b,1 server
Machine B
-----------
Dual boot FreeBSD 6R and WndowsXP
CPU: AthlonXP 2400
Mem: 1GB
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 2.1.7>
Samba client
Tests sending a random 400MB file:
A sending to B(FreeBSD)
--------------------------
Samba = 13MB/s
Ftp = 16MB/s
A sending to B(WindowsXP)
-----------------------------
Samba = 13MB
Ftp = 16MB
B(FreeBSD) sending to A
--------------------------
Samba = 2.5MB/s
Ftp = 25MB/s
B(WindowsXP) sending to A
-----------------------------
Samba = 17MB/s
Ftp = 31MB/s
Very, very odd results. Machine B has raid0, yet it experiences the
slowest incoming speeds in ftp. I cant begin to imagine where the
problem is, but we can see that there is no real hardware bottlenecks.
