Network is a full gigabit : switch Linksys SRW2016 (jumbo frames enabled) + category 5e wire Does anyone has got an idea of which is the theorical throughtput of Samba ? Currently I have +o- 20Mbytes/Secs ... On big files I can go up to 40Mbytes/Secs With AppleShare+Netatalk I can got up to 60Mbytes/Secs How can optimize Samba or my system or clients to boostup transfers ... I've get my config from FreeNas. My samba is setup to act as Wins Server [global] workgroup = MSHOME server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) wins support = yes dns proxy = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384 use sendfile = yes os level = 65 read raw = yes write raw = yes max xmit = 65535 oplocks = yes deadtime = 15 getwd cache = yes strict locking = no large readwrite = yes Any tips or ideas are welcome Regards
