(Thanks to the current thread on this list 'Best way to measure disk bandwidth usage') I started a large copy from the samba share to the local drive and then checked ps and top. ps lists the status as D+ (short term, uninterruptible wait, in foreground?) top, after I push 'm' lists the state as 90wrq (samba waiting?) so it seems to me that either something is wrong with samba, or something is wrong with windows or I don't have enough experience to find the real answer. Just because the second option is obviously true, doesn't mean options 1 and 3 aren't. so, how do I go about checking samba (I can't find a /var/log/samba, or anything close to that.) and can anybody suggest anything else to try? Thanks, Ray
