that might be a cache effect. if he's got a gig of RAM or more, the ISO file will already be in linux's file buffers. no need to read the disk anymore. if he's testing network throughput, he needs to copy the file to the samba server twice (once to load up the buffers, and once to write from buffers to the network). but since he's testing disk performance, what he needs to do is, after doing the samba test, do a lot of random reads, writes of very large files, enough to basically throw out all of the buffers. or, i guess he could just reboot and do write to windows 2003 :). -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo http://bopolissimus.sni.ph [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Mene sakhet ur-seveh -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
