Have you tried looking into some of the NIC jumbo frames, flow control and checksum settings?System info: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga) Kerlen 2.6.18-8.el5 SMP x86_64 Samba version 3.0.23c-2 Eth0 && Eht1 bonded to bond0, 2Gbps./etc/samba/smb.conf attached below... I¹m seeing very slow transfers from Samba.... I¹m not sure how else to describe it. If I try and copy a 4GB DVD image from the server to any Windows box (XP, 2003, 2008, MacOS) it estimates more than 4 hours to copy. However, if I FTP to the server from any given client I can move the whole file in less than 2 minutes... I¹m not a Samba expert, so anything is helpful at this point!!!
Look at the window client settings for: -Tx/Rx Checksum Offload Disabled -Flow Control Enabled -Jumbo Frames Enabled -Large Send Offload Disabled Your results will very depending on your switches and network cards.
