I'm not sure, but smb has generally unpredictable speeds from computer to computer. (I've had a windows network for years and have hated this problem.) The best way I have found to fix it is to mount drives. I think you should be able to do it using the smbmount command, but I'm not sure of the syntax, so check out the manpages. Hope that helps. >From: "Mezinque Olinisko" <babysealkiller@hotmail.com> >To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Slow Samba Client >Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 22:38:37 GMT > > >I am trying to pass a generated file from a FreeBSD 3.3 machine running smb >2.0.5 to a win98 machine. >This is done with a perl script using smbclient... everything works fine, >except that I only get about 10KB/s transfer rate. >These computers are connected via a 100MB/s lan connection, and when I ftp >the same file over, it gets transfered at about 5MB/s and when I send the >client via smb server (from win to bsd) I get about 1.5MB/s. > >Any ideas on what could be causing this lag? > >Thank you in advance, >Robert Shea >________________________________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
