when I move files from /master/drive1 to /master/drive2 the copy process is very slow.
why does samba send the whole file across the network and back? is there a way to avoid this?
why not rsync from /master/drive1 to /master/drive2?

Subject: [Samba] Copying between physical drives within samba mount - veryslow.
I have a situation with a linux box that has several drives mounted under /master say /master/drive1 and /master/drive2 ..etc. I mount /master on my windows machine or os x machine using samba.
Here is my config red hat 9 samba 3.0.x system drive = / data drive 1= /master/drive1 data drive 2 = /master/drive2 mounted system on pc under /master so I see on my pc drive1 folder and drive2 folder. Dragging from drive1 to drive2 seems to pass the whole file across the network from drive1 to drive2.
If I create folders ... say /master/folder1 and /master/folder2. these folders are not seperate drives. Then movign files between them is lightening fast as expected.
Hope someone can help.
