John, I haven't done any direct performance testing, although I am planning on figuring that out now. (BTW, how is performance testing ran?) However, I can say that since converting over to the Samba PDC/File Server that the file transfer performance just feels much faster. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

I do not buy that story. I am able to get up to 11MB/sec on 100-Base-T and up to 30MB/sec over 1GBit Ethernet.

My own unscientific speed testing, back when we did our conversion, found that Samba was slightly faster than the NT4 server we replaced. The old server was on slower hardware, though, so it wasn't entirely a fair comparison. I timed copies of a large file to an NT4 Workstation client to test. I don't have the numbers anymore, sorry.

Jeremy Allison, Samba Team "Samba Printing"(pdf, 141k) This presentation is an explaination of how RPC printing works in the CIFS protocol, and how the current implementation in Samba deals with this. https://www.cifs2002.org/conference/programs/presentations/Allison.pdf Any idea what the real URL is? ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
