Hi I was wondering if you ever got better performance out of your Gigabit/IDE/Fc2?
I am facing a similar situation. I am running FC2 with Samba 3.x My problem lies in not that I am limited to 10 MBytes per second sustained. I think it's related to this pdflush and how it's buffers are setup. (I have been doing some research and before 2.6 kernels bdflush was the method that was used and it was tweakable. Have yet to find anything on HOW to tweak pdflush. My issue is that I can copy over the network at 15+ MBytes per second but then after a few minutes it will drop to 4-8 MBytes per second. Yet a drive to drive copy on the linux box itself can sustain 14+ MBytes per second on the same size file. (4+ gigs) While I watch a Top when the network copying is going on PDFlush is bouncing around with Samba, not sure what is going on. Was curious if you had improved your situation, and if you did what you did. BTW here are some tweaks for network stack related stuff for Gig. sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=8388608 sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=8388608 sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=65536 sysctl -w net.core.wmem_default=65536 sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem='4096 87380 8388608' sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem='4096 65536 8388608' sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_mem='8388608 8388608 8388608' sysctl -w net.ipv4.route.flush=1 Brian M.
