Any reason why transferring files from a samba share to a windows folder would be faster when working from windows? I was at the console in Mandrake and used mv to move files from a directory to a mounted windows share and got about 7.2MB/s. Then, I stopped the transfer and went to the windows machine. Moving from Network Neighborhood to the local windows folder, I got 12MB/s (with peaks at 16MB/s). Both processes were moving the same data to the same folders. Both measurements were done from Task Manager in Windows XP and compared using net-monitor in Mandrake. BTW, I've got gigabit ethernet on these 2 machines and ATA 100 IDE drives.
