Kevin, Not sure why but I would check the NIC or try a different one to see if that makes a difference. I'm sure you thought of that so I'm probably not much help. I do not think it is a SAMBA issue.

It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this: ============================================================= mount -t smbfs -o username="domain_name\admin_username", \ password=<proper-password> //machine-name/sharename$ \ /mnt/mount-point cp -a /mnt/mount-point/ /backup diff -r brief /backup/mount-point /mnt/mount-point unmount /mnt/mount-point ============================================================= Can someone here tell me why, by just changing distributions, I've increased my backup time by about 50%? Both setups use Samba 2.2.5 The system's specs are: Celeron 800 (100MHz FSB) 320MB of PC100 SDRAM NetGear FA311TX 10/100 NIC running at 100Mb/s Maxtor ATA-133 PCI Controller 1-7.5GB ATA-66 IDE HD for the OS 2-40GB ATA-100 IDE HD in Software RAID0 for "/backup" mount point Each Drive is "Master" on own IDE Interface of Maxtor Controller No additional drives on either chain of Maxtor Controller --> I used 'hdparm' to verify that the configurations for all HDs was optimal. ie, using DMA, proper UDMA mode, 32-bit transfers, etc. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
