Thanks for the reply I've just done a bit more testing. If I use rsync from a gluster client to copy the same files to the mount point it only takes a couple of minutes. For some reason it's very slow on samba though (version 4.4.4).
I have tried various samba tweaks / settings and have yet to get acceptable write speed on small files. *Gary Lloyd* ________________________________________________ I.T.
