samba - May 1998 - strange DOS client behaviour

Hiya Everyone

I'm having a lot of trouble with the MS TCPIP client for DOS and Samba
(all versions) running on Linux v2.1.9[789].  I think this is more of a
kernel problem than a Samba problem, but better to cover all bases.

When running any kernel up to 2.1.85, the DOS client runs at a sensible
speed reading off a Samba shared drive, however from 2.1.97 onwards (I
didn't run anything in between) everything runs REALLY slowly.  I have
no real idea why and would appreciate any comments.

Thanks
Mick

Either do not use a 2.1.97 linux kernel, or ask your question on the Linux
kernel mailing list. If you wait for Linux 2.2.0, this problem probably
will not show up, and it is less likely to if you report your problem to
the Linux kernel guys.
