I just performed a crude benchmark for large file transfers using the old
Netware "TESTNET.EXE" DOS benchmark program.  The 4.4-RC system is a SM P6DLH
with a single PII/300 with 128MB, DPT controller, 4xST410800WD drives; the NT 
4 server is also a P6DLH, dual PII/300, 256MB, 2 Adaptec 2944UW with 8
ST410800WD; both use Intel Pro100 cards.

Samba is 2.0.9_1.

Network is a 3Com 3000 12-port 10/100 switch.

Client is a SM P6DGH with a single PII/300, ST15050W, 256MB, also using
an Intel Pro100; client is running MS Windows 2000 Pro SP2.  TESTNET was
run in a DOS (CMD) box.

TESTNET was run with 5000 65535 byte records, total of 328MB.  The 4.4-RC
box clocked at 3.2MB/sec; the NT 4 server clocked at 2.8MB/sec.  The 
ST410800WD's are not good for much more than 5MB/sec sustained, but what
do you expect for $10 each?

I also got respectable speeds using mars_nwe on the 4.4-RC box.

Thanks.
