Very Slow Transfers from Win2K to Linux over Samba
I'm having a slight problem with Samba. For a few months now I've used Samba on my Linux box to access my songs on my Win98 machine over a 10MBit Ethernet without any problems. Now that I've upgraded to Win2K, my uploads are down to about 30k/s and my downloads to about 1k/s. Changing SO_SNDBUF to 1200 made the uploads quite a bit better, jolting back and forth but averaging about 200k/s, but changing SO_RCVBUF, max xmit, raw read/write, and large readwrite seemed to have no effect. The only thing that works is using smbclient and specifying -b 1200, which gives me my usual 500-600kb/s downloads. However, this doesn't help with smbmount. Of anyone I'm sure you guys would know best as to where I can make this setting permanent (even if I have to edit the source). I'd just go back to Win98 (infact, I've got half a mind) but 2000 has been relatively crash-free compared to '98, and it would mean redoing EVERYTHING. Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thanks!
I just had this problem. The way i troubled shooted my problem was to use my windows machine to ftp into the samba server and see the raw transfer rate. I only got a 60k/s. Then i rebooted into Linux ( dual boot ) and got 3 MB/s. I then realized that the drivers for Windows 2000 for my nic sucked or the nic it self (SMC). Luckily i had an Intel Pro 10/100 and put that in. My goodness. i ftp from my windows 2000 server to Samba ( 1200Kb/s ). Whooo Hooaa. Before that i also did some more measurements from my other machines at home, and did all the recommended tuning, nothing worked until i changed out the nic.

Hi,
When I create a file or folder to the samba share folder, the
file/folder time is always different from the samba server time. Anyone can
tell me why is like that?
Do I need to configure something to make samba use the system time?
Louis
Hi,
Yes, I try the time server option, I set it to yes, but the time is
still wrong.

The system time is 15:00, when I create a folder, the folder time is 07:00. 8 hours different.
