...9;ve found some references to this issue with samba on the net, but not related to the version of samba I'm running (which is 3.0.10, updated version that comes with Fedora Core 3). My problem is this, I've got a Compaq Proliant 2500 (dual Pentium Pro-200MHz with 256MB RAM and the standard Netintelligent 10/100 network controller that come with it)... I've narrowed down that hardware isn't a problem because I can get a comfortable 9 MB/s transfer rate from this machine using FTP. My problem is Samba, more specifically reading a file from a samba share. I can read a 350 MB file at a horrend...

Hello all, I'm creating a site where people can share their benchmarks. If you are interested, the site is at (I just started on it so it has the stock graphics and color scheme still): www.dcsnow.com/mambo I would like some thoughts on what would be a good way to standardize the testing so the results are more comparable. Is Bonnie+ a good program for hard drive speed testing? Is there
