After trying a lot of them we´re ended up with Intel XT server nics with single connections. They are even up to 10% faster then the onboard Intel XT´s of our Dell servers. You may also have a look at the file structure on your raid, folders with lots of files in it (say around 5000) can really slow down network access to smb volumes when there are several clients in this directory just doing browsing or searching. Keep in mind that when you are sharing an nfs volume with samba you have an aditional protocol which doesn´t speed up such a connection. Try to connect the raid to the samba box. To give you an idea about your network speed better use iperf (http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf). For Server Dell PowerEdge 1600 with Intel XT nic and Client Dell PowerEdge 1600 with Intel MT nic we have read/write rates of 102/70 MByte sec. If you are in the need for speed use G5s as client machines: over 110 Mbyte in both directions. While iperf not only shows you the speed of the connection it also gives additional informations about the package sizes of the transfered data which also could give you a clou about your problems. >>> might have some gains tweaking the smb.conf "tune" option >> What options exactly do you mean? > > socket options > > what to change int it, I have no idea.. consult documentation >
