Unfortunately I don't have an answer to the slow mounts issue. However, you're showing a peak performance of only about half line speed with FTP, which tends to demonstrate your system is in need of overall performance tuning for 10 GbE. Reading, digesting, and using the information in the following article may get you much closer to the ~1GB/s mark of which 10GbE is capable. http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2008/downloads/pdf/Thursday/Mark_Wagner.pdf If tweaking these things can double your raw network and FTP throughput, it should do similar for Samba, which would mean ~94 MB/s for cifsfs mount ramdisk-to-ramdisk or to disk. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
