The performance of samba on freebsd still sucks. I have a gigabit link between my samba server and windows xp workstation, both use the intel em card. The fastest i can download from the freebsd server is 15.946 MB/s, fastest upload to is 13.594 MB/s. Thats pretty poor for a gigabit link. However, 9MB/s on your link is not bad at all, one has to consider the protocol overhead. > Oh by the way: > 100 MB ethernet > ping -s 65507 -f windowshost ~ 10-12 MB/s > ftp open freebsdhost put/get 500MB.file ~ 10-12 MB/s > net.inet.tcp.inflight.enable=1 who said u have to put it down? > This feature limited the speed of LANs, however recent code has aimed to fix that, but i don't think its in 6.0. I used a recent -CURRENT for the tests, you should consider updating to -STABLE.
