Hi all, Before the 2.2.5 version I used the next line in smb.conf: socket options = SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 But since I started using 2.2.5, I noticed an enormous degree in performance with this parameter in smb.conf. After disabling this line everything worked as normal again. I am just posting this to the list to let you know, maybe it can help other samba users too that are having this kind of performance problems! Eddie.
