[Samba] SOLUTION: Slow file transfers from Samba server
Here was the solution to my slow file-transfer problem from Scott. I coincidentally did have a HP Procurve 4000m (what are the chances), ended up swapping out the switch and presto. I can't believe I didn't try it before. Thanks again Scott. Here are some links I researched previous to this though that may help you. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-August/msg03799.html http://www.dd.iij4u.or.jp/~okuyamak/Documents/tuning.english.html Also if you google slow samba there are a plethora of discussions on it: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=slow+sambabtnG=Google+Search Good luck. Bret I had a similar problem in the past and the problem was I locked the NIC and I think the switch (HP Procurve 4000M I think) at 100Mb/full. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Changing the ifconfig to auto-config and the hub as well resolved the issue. This is a known documented issue with the link negotiation architecture from what I remember. There was a HP whitepaper on it. Scott... Scott Burns NETCON Technologies Inc.

[Samba] Slow file transfers from Samba
Scott, That fixed the problem. Unbelievable, I've been dealing with that problem for almost two years. I can't believe I didn't think to try that. I erroneously assumed that if you had a 100mb switch plugged into a 100mb card you were going to get 100mb out of it. I'm almost ashamed of myself having been an IT Administrator/Manager for about 15 years. Anyway, thank you very much for taking the time to offer up a solution, you have truly made my day. Many thanks, Bret -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Slow file transfers from server to XP clients
Hey everyone, I'm sure this topic has been discussed, but I've looked through history and done google searches and just haven't found a resolution yet so I'm hoping the experts can help me. Running Fedora Core 5 and Samba ??? Not sure the version off-hand. Clients are XP Professional The problem is miserably slow file transfers from the server to the XP clients (and it's primary purpose is a file server) and I mean along the lines of 4.5 to 5 hours for a 5 gig directory. This is over a 100mb switched network with a really good HP managed switch. Transferring the same directory from client to client takes less than 45 minutes. Transferring data to a Win 98 client on the other hand moves much faster, not as fast as win to win but acceptably fast. I have had the same exact problem through about six generations of Linux/samba from RedHat 9 and each version of Fedora. Each time I have done a complete format/re-install and same problem. I have also tried switching the Nic in the server with a working pull from a client and no change. I even forced the Nic to 100 full in dos before placing in the Linux box. Really at an end of my knowledge which was limited in the first place, just not sure why this isn't working and really trying to avoid putting 2k3 on there. Any Help would be greatly appreciated, or if the topic has been discussed ad-nauseam then if you could post some links or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
