I've been using the nfsvers=3, tcp, and 32K read/write buffers options someone else mentioned in my home network NFS setup since long before taking up MythTV. Believe me, I'd still much rather use NFS--I'm a *lot* more comfortable with fiddling with NFS export and mount options than with smb.conf--but Samba works and works well. > SMB versus nfs and smb being faster is impossible IMO. Again, speaking as someone who's had a lot more hands-on experience with NFS than Samba, I know very well that modern Samba is as fast as, if not faster than (and certainly a lot more interoperable across platforms) than NFS. Many found NFS pre-v3 to be noticeably slower than Samba, for example, and although as I've mentioned I've always used NFS v3 the notion that today's Samba is faster--or at least more efficient in some way I haven't figured out yet on my particular setup--than NFS is hardly a strange one. N.B. - To be completely accurate, I'm actually using cifs, as smbfs has a 2GB file limit which I only discovered after mythbackend kept crashing with no error messages whatsoever after a certain point in my HDTV recordings. -- Yeechang Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US
