Just an observation... if you're mounting shares between linux/unix machines, use NFS. SMB is a pig of a protocol with much overhead. When I changed from smbfs to nfs for my security camera the speed improved by about 25%. I did some testing, comparing http/ftp/ and cp (from a NFS and a SMB share) and from memory smb was a distant last in performance with the same file and the same hardware.
