Dear Chris, Thanks for your reply, as I mentioned I don't have a second GBit-server here and our original machine is a production environment, so I can't undertake all the test. I don't even may reproduce my first test during the day, bcause the people here might lose their samba-hosted files....
But since you obviously are working for SuSE would it be a big problem for you to set up a test enivronment ? I could patch my 2.4.18 self compiled kernel with the speed patches, if someone points me to them and then I'll have to find a time for testing these patches, but I can't promise you when.
