Hello, I've setup an Samba 3 server on a Debian Etch 4 The server has : - 8x 500Gb raid 5 via 3ware Raid Controller - Filesystem is Ext3 over Lvm2 (I know that be better an Xfs FS instead ... now I can't change it easily ) - Xeon dual core 2 - 2Gb of RAM - connected to a gigabit switch using 2 bonded NIC When I copy big files (> 2Gb MPEG files) from Windows clients the copy do a pause on the end ... If at the same time I open another video from another client the movie playback start to skip frame and become very very slow ... Any Ideas ?

I see mention of IDE and that is always my first guess. But I doubt it is a Samba issue. Try the same thing with local files and see what happens.
