Running a 5.4-STABLE build from May 9 Having poor write performance to a number of different hosts/networks using cp/rsync via mount_smbfs. Performance hovers in smbfs writes near 600kB/sec. Using FTP/Sharity/smbclient in samba3 write performance is more like 8-9MB/sec. Is there a performance tweak I'm missing? I've already tried increasing sendspace and recvspace to no avail. I should mention, hosts consist of HP BL20P G3 blades, and have also tested against another generic PC. Network is 100Mbps full duplex switched, switch and hosts aren't showing any packet errors. I've tried googling for pertinent information on smbfs/cifs in freebsd but can mostly only dig up information from Boris Popov circa 2000-2001. Thanks! -t
