Ive noticed extremely bad performance using freebsd as a samba server. Specifically the in ability to stream mp3s. Linux & NT servers stream the fine, with no buffering on the client end. Im running 3.0-RELEASE, and the kernel is compiled with bpf support so that dhcpd can run. Samba is 2.0.3. The server is a p90, 32mb ram, 1 x 600 mb quantum fireball and 1 x 8 gb seagate medalist, each on there own ide bus as master. Its using a 3c509 NIC. I have disabled all un used daemons. My thoughts would be compile the kernel for less users (i left is at 32 as in the GENERIC config) or use a different network card. Is support for the 3c509 (not the 3c509b) really bad? all my Linux machines use them and they are good. Is there any other optimisations i could implement?
