smb can be VERY slow with many small files, totally killing its average speed. Try testing with a smb with just a few very big files to check the speed. You may also need some optimization, in a GB network is recommended to enable jumbo frames... and samba might need the some tuned up linux settings: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 deadtime = 15 add the IPTOS_LOWDELAY if you have many small files, it decrease delay (helps on the small files), but also decrease throughput, so (bad for the big ones) Good luck higuta -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
