Anyone every figure out the problem to slow writes via samba?
I'm using freebsd, can this still apply? FTP is a lot faster uploading. I get 50% util on my 100mbps hub while samba gives me less than 5% util ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Whitney" <Kevin.Whitney@sun.com> To: "David W.

No, but turning it off effectively limits the packet sizes used, which can be good if you have a network problem, of which we've seen a lot in the last year. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Anyone every figure out the slow writes problem. I'm running FreeBSD 4 and I know I've heard of people complain about it also. I've done the ftp test and with that I get about 35% usage on my 100mbps hub read and write, but via samba I only get 35% read and less than 5% write. If I turn raw writes off I get 20% usage on writes but my reads also go down to 20%. I'm running samba 2.2.0alpha2 and windows 98 workstations, but have seen this problem since I started using samba 2.0. Is there anyone out there that might have a clue on how to fix this problem?
