To further clarify, this system I'm doing this with is one I reserve
for experimentation, my wireless access point, and I store some
music and video files on it using Samba.
It's an inexpensive amd64 system with a gigabit NIC
and an RAL wireless card
It started as a clean install using the 6/16/07 snapshot I downloaded
on 6/17/07 that all files were dated either 6/16 or 6/10.
I then downloaded the 4 packages I needed from the
/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64 directory.
They were all dated 6/4/2007.
I then did like I always do, and attempted to install these packages
from a subdirectory.
popt-1.7p0.tgz installed OK
libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz would not install.
And I made no attempt to install Samba, because in the past, it
seemed like I needed the first two before it would install.
So I then updated to current and at the same time downloaded
current ports just to have (like I always do, but never used before)
I then attempted to install the packages from
/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64 directory.
using the pkg_add -v ftp command.
It still wouldn't install libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz.
So then I began to think I'd experiment with using ports.
Even though I had never attempted to install anything from ports.
I saw the "15.3.5 - Straightforward installation: a simple example"
in the online documentation, and for the heck of it tried using
the " make install" command from inside the libiconv subdirectory.
All I can say is, it just worked.
I went on and did the same thing with Samba, and it worked too.
BUT I'm still fighting a problem with very slow writes from an XP
workstation to the Samba server.
Using just the wired network interface,
a file that writes normally in 35 seconds Xp to XP, literally
takes 40 minutes XP to Samba.
I tried the socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_RCVBUF=8192 fix, which I alread had everything but IPTOS_LOWDELAY.
Adding IPTOS_LOWDELAY lowered the time from 40 minutes to 27 minutes.
I also tried experimenting with setting
Write Raw to NO and Read Raw to NO, and it made no difference.
Reading from the Samba server is a little slower than 35 seconds, like
maybe 1 - 2 minutes.
So far I'm getting nowhere in trying to get the Samba server to run at
full speed.
Thanks, Ed
