I was reading through the smb man page -- and this may be outdated,
but there was a caution on this option:
Note
that due to Windows 2000 client redirector bugs
this requires Samba to be running on a 64-bit capa�
ble operating system such as IRIX, Solaris or a
Linux 2.4 kernel. Can improve performance by 10%
with Windows 2000 clients. Defaults to off.
----
1) Are these bugs still present in XP?
2) If I'm not using the redirector service but the more
standard mounted drive and //sys/mnt, syntax, does the caution
still apply?
3) Should I assume that 2.4.20 linux on ia32 would have
problems dealing with large file IO?
tnx,
linda
