Very strange... but mounting the filesystems asynch has no effect. I'll have to look through the code to see if smbd is creating the files with O_SYNC or something. I would think mounting the filesystems async would make a difference. Hmm... I thought we had it there! Vince You could mount your filesystems with the async flag. Search the mailing list archive (of hackers) for the last two months for caveats and more information. Andy.
