[expert] slow samba
Hi all, Can anyone tell me why it's not possible to get a transfer speed of more than 3 to 4 MBps when transferring files to or from a Windows file server using a Linux client, or to or from a Samba server to a Linux client, when you can get 8 to 9MBps when transferring files to or from a Samba server using a Windows client? Is this usual, or does it sound like I have something configured incorrectly? -- Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.

Is this usual, or do I have something configured incorrectly? Way back I had similar problems getting Windows ME to play correctly with the rest of the Samba network. Win98 and Win2K machines worked flawlessly. After many hours of teeth gnashing, switching cables, checking duplex settings, configuring TCP_NO_DELAY and adjusting window sizes, moving to a switched hub, disabling some authentication, etc., etc., I was able to fix the problem by mapping a network drive.

Re: [expert] slow samba
How they are connected? In my home I have direct connection 100Mbps(reversed UTP) from a linuxpc to winxp. from WinXP I can read about 9MBytes/sec (50%network indication) from the linuxPC I get about 2-3 MB/sec (20% network indication) I have mandrake 9.1 with built it samba. Seems that the linuxpc is 200% faster in transfer :) When I had both of the with WinXP I was getting 20% network. :( 19 2003 20:29, / Brant Fitzsimmons : Miark wrote: On Thu, 19 Jun 2003 01:11:56 -0400 Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Can anyone tell me why it's not possible to get a transfer speed of more than 3 to 4 MBps when transferring files to or from a Windows file server using a Linux client, or to or from a Samba server to a Linux client, when you can get 8 to 9MBps when transferring files to or from a Samba server using a Windows client?

Same here. Seems that the linuxpc is 200% faster in transfer :) I know that Samba performs drastically better than MS's implementation of SMB. What I don't understand is the 2 to 3MBps transfer speed between to Linux machines running Samba. I want to see the Samba server / Windows client speeds using a Samba server / Linux client combination.

Is this usual, or do I have something configured incorrectly? Anyone have any ideas on how I can get a Samba server and Linux client combination up to the speed of a Samba server and Windows 2000 client combination? To repeat what I had posted earlier--I get really fast performance (8-9MBps) when I connect to my Linux box running Samba using Windows 2000, and I get really slow performance (3-4MBps) when I connect to my Linux box running Samba using another Linux box.
