Hello! I've a problem with the performance of the linux client, which mounts a share on a samba server (samba 2.2.8 / Kernel 2.4.21 (SLES 8)). With windows clients (Windows XP), the performance is fine (about 8 MB/s with fast ethernet).
With Linux clients, the performance is about 2,8 MB/s (fast ethernet, too). FTP to the same machine results in 10 MB/s. Therefore I traced the data during copying with ethereal on windows and on linux. The difference is at the Read AndX Request: Windows sets the Max Count Low to 32768, but on linux client, it is set to 4096. Therefore, linux must do much more Read AndX Requests / Responses as Windows. How can I tell my linux-client to use the same Max Count Low value, to achieve the same performance? I tried to set Socket Options SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF, but the Max Count Low - value isn't changed at all. I'm mounting with smbmount. I tried too with cifs, but the problem doesn't get better!
