Jim, Good call! ftp suffered same performance. i never noticed a NFS problem to my other Sparc's because most of the time I was reading data off of the server. Now to determine where the problem is..
the only settings I have changed in /etc/system is adding: set tcp:tcp_conn_hash_size=32768 set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap = 0 set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap = 1 no other changes (such as ndd commands). I took the 3 above settings out of /etc/system, rebooted and ftp performance was over 10 meg/sec both directions, samba is now doing 7.5 m/s read from server and 8 m/s write to server. It seems strange that I can write to the samba shares faster than I can read?? both nic's come up as 100meg full duplex, so it must have been the tcp:tcp_conn_hash_size setting. at any rate, thank you both for helping me look at this problem! this kind of performance will keep me happy for a while! Any idea why tcp:tcp_conn_hash_size=32768 would have such negative affect? We have tweaked this setting on some of our larger servers at work (E4500's, E6500's and Sunfire 4800's) and it never had bad results.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Morris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Justin Richards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 7:39 PM Subject: Re: [SAMBA] config/performance problem on solaris 8 > Justin, > > What type of performance do you get when putting a file to the server > using FTP?
