[Samba] How to speed up Samba From Mac OS 10.6 to access Windows Share under W2K3
Hi Volker, Pleeease be nice ;-) A normal network between one XP and one W2K3 server with a giga bit switch in the midle produce more that 400Mb/ sec transfer rate. If I just replace the XP by my iMac with Samba connecting to the W2K3 I am getting less than 15Mb/Sec... I mean if I could have an explanation or help to optimize samba...

Ok, which piece of Samba are you actually using? What do you *exactly* mean by iMac with samba connecting to W2K3? If this means you issue smbclient //w2k3/share on the command line, then yes, this is our business. If you instead use the native iMac tools and mount //w2k3/share into your local system. If the latter is the case (you are using the native iMac GUI to connect to the server), then no, no Samba piece is involved. In that case, you need to contact your Apple support. Please clarify what you are doing and apologies if I was not precise enough.

We I connect to //w2k3/share I am effectively using a GUI tool to do that. The tool show me my server like this: smb://licorne If I the double click on this, then I am getting all my shares and I can mount one. So Yes Samba is used and at the end the smbclient //w2k3/share is raised to map my drive. I may forums I saw some performance issues with Samba but no relevant answers on how to optimize.

It does mean that the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is used. OS/X has its own implementation of the SMB protocol that has nothing to do with Samba. If a Windows share/volume shows up on your Desktop as an icon which you can open by clicking on it and you can directly open, say, pdf files from that, then no, Samba is not involved. In that case it is purely Apple code that the Samba community has no stakes in.

Hallo, Kostic,, Du meintest am 21.01.10: A normal network between one XP and one W2K3 server with a giga bit switch in the midle produce more that 400Mb/ sec transfer rate. That's about 40 MByte/s - is the destination of the transfer a hard disk? Viele Gruesse!

The funny thing when I setup my Connections to Windows Shares, I am configuring Samba with the famous smb.conf file.

For the server side Apple does ship Samba, at least for the releases I have seen.

Hi, I have Setup connection from my brand new iMac to my windows Server 2003. I am using gigabit line and I am getting only 15 Mbites / sec speed. Any way to get much better? Many thanks for your help.
