When I move a 4GB image between two laptops over smb with an ethernet cable it takes about 10-15 minutes. If its taking +2 hours I would actually say there is something wrong with the setup as opposed to it being slow, that is just plain wrong? Is there a Firewall/IDP/IDS in the way of the source target? A security issues? Packet Loss? *Clutching at straws here*. Having aggregated NICs at 2Gbps with a RAID 5 over 15k SAS drives should be F*king quick, I mean if two of your servers with this setup are in a rack together on the same physical LAN then I would expect that 4GB DVD Image to move across in 2 minutes or less? -- Regards, James ;) Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach - "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/marie_von_ebnereschenbac.html _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
