Hello, I recently posted a message with the subject: "Strangely slow transfers speeds with samba 3.0.10 and FC3..."
My problem is basically that I've setup a samba server with Fedora Core 3, the version used is 3.0.10-1.fc3. I can put files on the server at reasonable speeds, but getting them from the server with a Windows 2000/XP client is another matter, the speeds drop to a pathetic rate. With smbclient (in Linux) it's even worse; the speed falls to 1/10 of the rate! OK, the figures: a 540MB file when transferred via FTP or NFS (Linux client) takes about 61 seconds (rate is around 8MB/s), via samba (win 2k/XP) takes over 4 minutes, via smbclient (Linux) takes about 20 minutes!!! Does anyone have any idea why smbclient is so slow? Note that I'm using CIFS as SMB with Samba 3 is even worse! Is there something drastically wrong with the Fedora versions of Samba? Thanks for your time. Peter. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
