When using 1 client, it is 95% idle, when using 2 clients it is 85% idle.
When using 2 clients the throughput roughly doubled (from ~4MB/s to ~8MB/s)
Is anyone familiar with this issue?
Yes, this has been observed a lot.
It's as far as i know based on smb packet size.
smbfs will only use 4096 Bytes in one smb packet, whereas a windows client will use much larger packets, up to 60K). (Take ethreal to look at it)
