Hi, I have a problem with Samba (although it may be my hardware, I'm not sure).
I have a Linux i386 Samba server that I use for storing music, pictures etc in a small home network which isn't that busy. When I stream music to my laptop I get periods of silence which coincide with periods of network inactivity. These can last up to 50 seconds and can be seen on both the Linux and PC performance monitors. I thought perhaps I was a running an old version of samba and tried to upgrade my Suse 9.2 box. Unfortunately this didn't work so I've just installed Fedora 7 core with version Samba 3.0.25a. However, the pausing problem is still there. I don't get this problem between Windows XP machines and the problem occurs with any Windows client. Note, I had to turn off SELinux to get samba to work.
I was wondering if there are any config options I should be setting to improve performance? Or perhaps there are some diagnostic tools / extra logging to see what is happening?
