I doubt you'll ever hit 100%. The most basic reason is you're using a PCI bus ethernet controller. A quick check of the specs for the RTL8169 you mentioned shows it's a 32-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI card. If you're using it in a 33 MHz slot, your maximum bus bandwidth is only a little over 1 Gbit/sec. If your disk controller is sharing the same bus, that means you can do maybe 500 Mbit/sec, tops. If it's in a 64 bit slot, you can double those numbers, but you're still not leaving much of a margin. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
