Hi, It is not a Samba issue, but a RH9 one. Try to replace in /etc/sysconfig/i18n the default charset utf8 to something easier (and faster) to handle for the system (look at the same file on your RH73).

September 2003 um 18:32 schrieben Sie: w> Dear List: w> I have installed the lastest Samba 3.0 onto an AMD 2.6 GHz RedHat 9.0 w> system running mirrored SCSI drives. The system is multi homed as such:- w> eth0 - 192.168.50.5 w> - 192.168.100.199 w> eth1 - public IP address What do you mean? eth0 has 2 adresses or what? What does ifconfig tell you? w> I connect from an XP Home box to a Samba share via the 192.168.1.0/24 w> subnet, mapped as Drive Z and performed the following file transfers. Samba (Z:) ->> Samba (Z:) 928 MB folder 20 mins Samba (Z:) ->> XP (C:) 928 MB folder 21 mins XP (C:) ->> Samba (Z:) 928 MB folder 3 mins You smb.conf tells us other things: hosts allow = 192.168.50. 192.168.1. 127. bind interfaces only = TRUE Leave this one out unless you really know what to use it for. #interfaces = eth0 eth0:1 lo interfaces = 192.168.50.5 192.168.1.100 127.0.0.1 You talk about 192.168.100.199 but use the 192.168.1.100 adress. Check your IPs on the Samba box and on the XP box and edit your smb.conf to the right "interfaces" and "hosts allow" options. To make it easier use the line interfaces = eth0 eth1 and leave out the "bind interfaces"-line. It will bind to your subnets nicely, you avoid typos and readjusting smb.conf when changing IPs. Did you map Z: to the [Oasis]-share ? > [Oasis] > comment = Oasis Data & Programs > path = /thelook/Oasis > public = yes > writable = yes > printable = no > write list = @oasis > force create mode = 0770 > force group = +oasis > oplocks = False > level2 oplocks = False > blocking locks = no With the last 3 options you basically set your performance down. Drastically. I donZt know if you really want them to be set like this. At least I would comment them out for testing. Do your log-files say something special? Set "log level" to 1 or 2 and look at your files. Compare the results for the 2 installations. On the other hand, what do you mean by "If I replace the mirrored SCSI drive with a SCSI drive..." ? Might it be simply a difference in harddisk performance? (Again, let the locking-parameters away and let the OS do its work handling the locks ...) Let us know more details ... best regards, Stefan G.
