This past weekend I set up a MacBook Pro to time machine via CIFS to my OpenSolaris server.
It took over 7 hours to do the initial population using Samba as the CIFS server. During that time, I noticed that the server was showing a relatively high load... About 45% cpu (basically, it used 1 of my 2 cpus) and a ton of filesystem activity. A quick Dtrace showed me that it was almost all Samba, which was doing about 2000 llseeks per second. I shut down Samba and fired up the kernel cifs stuff. I ran the initial population again. This time it took ~2 hours and the CPU was well under 1% the whole time. Looks like it's network bandwidth limited now. Thanks for the hard work and the impressive results.
