Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 11:15:41 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am having trouble with samba. I am running 3.2-STABLE as of about 30 days ago. I am running the samba-2.0.5a that was compiled about a week ago. I have been running samba since version before samba-2.0 and I have been having this problem all along. My samba performance is horrible, this is from multiple machines. With FTP I can regularly get from 2-5MB/sec. With samba I'm lucky if I get 500KB/sec, usually it's less. One machine is a windows machine and one is a the FreeBSD machine. The windows machines will transfer via network neighborhood fine. Any of the machines transferring to/from the FreeBSD machine via samba will get similar poor performance. Again, FTP works perfectly fine. I would expect a bit slower performance from samba because there is more overhead involved, but not by a factor of 10 or more. FreeBSD machine has an Intel etherexpress pro 10/100 (fxp0), half-duplex for all cards. auto-switching 10/100 hub. All IDE drives. I'm currently using vinum but I was having this problem before I started using vinum. Has anyone had similar experiences, and if so, can they shed any light on the problem?
