Just a quick update : 2.6.19.2 kernel gives the same issues -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Van den Eynde Sent: zaterdag 27 januari 2007 14:32 To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: [Samba] Re: Samba running slow
Hello, I just read your thread in the mailing-list and I do experience exactly the same problem. I have the exact same hardware (Asus P5B, Core 2 Duo) and the same version of kernel and samba. Actually I have tried the 'd' revision of samba but that doesn't work either. Unfortunately, I have not been able to solve it just yet and I too would very much like to tackle this issue. Now I am not a samba/kernel hacker but my gut feeling tells me that it is a combination of the latest kernel 2.6.19-1 with samba. Thanks to the cutting edge hardware, I cannot downgrade to an earlier kernel version to test as this do not support all features of the mobo. Today, I am planning on compiling the 2.6.19-2 kernel and see if that helps. 2.6.20 is also coming out soon but I don't see anything in the change log what could lead to solving this issue. Another approach might be to change the NIC to a standard PCI 100 Mbit card which is well supported by the kernel for years, but I would very much like to get it working in the current setup. I will keep you posted if I find anything. I would really appreciate it if you let me know when you are making progress too. If someone else has ideas, I am also open for suggestions.

There was a similar, very recent, reported problem: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.samba/browse_frm/thread/8bf6e9791ae9b3c d/0a038c363be7ba2a#0a038c363be7ba2a After adding these lines in smb.conf, copying a file over samba share was lightening fast (just as fast as over FTP/HTTP connection): socket options = TCP_NODELAY oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no My eventual goal is to be able to play mp3 and movies over LAN. And I've run into the same problem with streaming a file across (as mentioned in the thread) -- streaming a file is very choppy.
