Can anyone offer any help with improving the following timings :- Using 3 identical PC's one a win 95 client, one an NT 4.0 Server and one a Linux (Redhat 5.0, Kernel 2.0.32) with Samba (1.9.17p4) I get the following results when copying a directory tree up/down, the tree consists of 183 files in 38 directories totalling 8.5Mb. Win95 -> NT 33secs NT -> Win95 2mins Win95 ->Linux/Samba 3mins Linux/Samba -> Win95 5 mins I have read speed.txt and speed2.txt and cannot find any significant improvement with the suggestions. Ideally we want to get the Samba share as near the speed of the NT. Thanks for any help/advice Ian Ian.harper@vaisala.com
