Jeremy, do you have any advice for me? I saw on an earlier post that you were at LinuxWorld so maybe you don't have time right at the moment to look at this problem...

I saw a recent posting about "smbtorture.c" but couldn't find it on the ftp site. Does anyone have suggestions for a SMB testing/benchmarking program, especially one that can run under both windows and linux?

Thanks,
Don

Hi,

I am experiencing very slow writes over samba. We have a modest linux network (about 6 servers) and a medium sized office (20-30 windows boxes). We have had a single linux file server that has done us yeoman service for several years. It is running RH 7.3. I am trying to set up the next generation file server with a huge (to me anyway) 2TB Promise VTrak 12110 RAID disk. I've installed Fedora Core 3 and got the file server up and running and it works fine... except it seemed slower than the older system.

So, I downloaded "Performance Test" from www.passmark.com that tests things like hard drive speeds under Windows. What the test told me was:

Thanks for that - I'll download and play with this test and see if I
can reproduce the problem.
