dear sir: I've set up a samba on my freebsd server to provide shared disk for lan users, but it's strange that samba runs very slow, compared with that on my old linux box. here are some masurements: on linux: win95 client <-> samba disk copy speed: about 800 KB/sec on freebsd: win95 client <-> samba disk copy speed: about 300 KB/sec on both: win95 <-> unix on ftp transfer rate: about 900 KB/sec our lan is 10Mbits ethernet, so I think the ftp speed is a good reference. besides, my samba config file is very very simple: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes I used freebsd 2.2.5 stable and linux 2.0.27 for testing. does anyone has some ideas about this? I'll be very appriciated about your help. Sincerely Yours Silver CHEN 1998/3/12 -- Silver CHEN
