What is your RAID device? What controller? What drives? Using a 3Ware 7500-4 IDE RAID Controller with 3 Western Digital 60GB 7200rpm drives, in a Tyan S2462 Thunder K7 motherboard with dual AMD MP1600+ CPUs and 1GB DDR 2100 RAM, running the linux-2.4.18 kernel over 1GBe I was able to get sustained read rates of approx. 90MB/sec and sustained write rates of 70MB/s using samba. My client was a Tyan S2640 512MB RAM, 1 Gbe, dual MP1600+ CPUs. Your numbers are way off mine. Suggest we compare notes on what hardware you are using, what kernel options are enabled. How many CPU's etc. - John T. > Gig-Ethernet > > With netatalk 1.5.5 I get sustained writes of 66MB/s (yes, megabytes) > With samba 2.2.7a I get sustained writes of 15MB/s > > > I've tweaked the settings and ended up with these: > > socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 > IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE > read raw = true > write raw = true > read size = 65535 > write size = 65535 > write cache size = 262144 > > But no changes led to any noticeable positive improvements. > > So my questions is this: is OS X just a sucky SMB client or is Samba > misconfigured?
