I ran some tests today, ftp'ing a 288MB file to the server was completed in
29.3 seconds, ~10 MB/sec.
This is 3 times faster than Samba! which needed 82 seconds using drag/drop
on W2K. NFS needed 39 seconds.
I have read the 'performance tuning' documents and have done all/most of
the changes they recommend but nothing appears to increase the speed.
We are running Solaris 8 with Samba V2.2.7. Server has 2GB RAM and (6)
mirrored 180GB drives.
Does anyone know of any other tuning or what might be happening? Thanks
for any help.
