samba - Oct 2000 - File server, samba and performance

Hi, im going to set up a fileserver with system on a small (9gb) SCSI160 disc
and archive on 2 60GB eide disk in mirroring on a ABIT hot rod 100 (AMD
Thunderbird 800 / 256 Mb ram with debian potato and kernel 2.2.17). This machine
should serve on a 100Mbit LAN mp3 to 3 machines (for broadcasting on a FM radio
station). I must know if samba will grant full 500kbit transfer over the network
or if it could lock up.
Last id like to know is there is any way to make samba serve first a machine
then the others.

Tnx in advance,
Yage.

You need ~187 KBytes/Second, which your main disk will just
supply, if laid out resonably (see gif attached).  Have a look
at

for some basic sizing information, and feel free to send me
mail.
