Hi, I had the same problem as a few other people on this list, namely that
transfers from a samba server (Redhat 6.2) to a win2k client were REALLY slow.
With a little bit of research I found out that individual block requests smaller
than 4K ran plenty fast, but anything bigger was 20 times slower! After reading
plenty of people having problems on here, but no one having solutions, I was
just about to give up and go buy a win2k server, but I decided to take one last
shot at fixing the smb.conf. I finally did hit on a send/receive buffer size
that made all the transfers run fast, but it's kind of odd:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
socket options = SO_RCVBUF=1
socket options = SO_SNDBUF=1
I'm guessing when those buffer sizes get passed to setsockopt it decides
they're silly and ignores them, and the internal default is magically fixing
my slowdown problem.
If you can't find a better solution, give this a shot, it worked for me!
