Recently setup Samba on a RH Linux 6.1 box at home - network is 100bT - and
printing /browsing works great.
However reading or writing files of any size to the share seems overly
slow. For instance a simple 1MB PNG file takes 20-30 seconds to load
up. Of my local HD it's instant.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I read through quite a few docs to
get this working to begin with :) and didn't see a lot in regards to
performance tuning...
thanks much!
