Hi I am running samba 3.0.25c on a fc6 server. The problem is I am getting poor transfer rates to a vista client, approx 8Mb/sec over 1Gb Ethernet compared to 40Mb/sec to the same machine dual boot machine running xp pro. I am using more or less default settings with the exception of vfs objects = readahead set in each file share. I am also getting about 40Mb/sec when transferring from vista to samba. It does not appear to make any difference if the vfs objects = readahead option is set or not, is there any way to confirm it is operating correctly or is there anything else that would cause this anomaly. Thanks
