I'm using the SW packages SUNWsmbs and SUNWsmbkskr which should reffer to svc:/network/smb/server:default > Maybe you could share a directory on /tmp > with samba; that would use the ramdisk / tmpfs ? > What disk / cpu statistics are reported by iostat > -xnzc 5 > when your Windows -- Solaris / CIFS / ZFS transfer is > running? cpu us sy wt id 0 35 0 65 extended device statistics r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device 156.4 0.0 19997.9 0.0 0.4 5.1 2.5 32.5 13 19 c8t0d0 cpu us sy wt id 0 17 0 82 extended device statistics r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device 141.8 0.0 18062.8 0.0 0.4 5.3 2.8 37.4 14 20 c8t0d0 cpu us sy wt id 0 23 0 77 extended device statistics r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv wsvc_t asvc_t %w %b device 154.0 0.0 19687.1 0.0 0.4 5.6 2.9 36.4 15 20 c8t0d0 > > What exactly do you use as a test on windows? > Copy & Paste big files from a local hdd to the cifs > share > (or vice versa) ? I'm using H1testw (http://www.heise.de/software/download/h2testw/50539) originally made for USB sticks but works also fine on Network drives. Your hint with the gani driver was quite good!!!!! It took a while until I was able to use is. I head to remove the rge entries in /etc/driver_aliases reboot and then install the driver. The driver for rtl8168 works also for rtl8111cl. With the gani driver I have now increased the transfer rate from 16 Mbyte/s write and 6,7Mbyte/s read to 34,7 MByte/s and 20,4 MByte/s read If now the read performance would be equal the write performance it would be perfect.
