Wow, only twice the traffic! Something tells me your metrics are a little off. From my evaluation it is more like 3-5 times as much traffic for the same operations, but it makes a difference what you are measuring. For example, opening a directrory with 1000 or so file in Windows Explorer could cost up to 6 times more I/O traffic. Windows XP SP2 is a beast for traffic increase. The solution is revert to 98 - or else bit-the-bullet by migrating to Linux. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
