There are some configuration options for samba when accessing it via windows computers. I would think that linux and FBSD would be about the same though. I saw a big jump in speed once I made the changes. It's also possible that your FBSD box is configured incorrectly, since you have RAID etc. It would be unfair to compare to machines that don't have this same configuration, but I don't think different hardware would account for an 8 fold increase in speed. I would try making the optimizations and cross your fingers. You may also want to upgrade to the latest version of samba. ...Michael... -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of bblack@allstor-sw.co.uk Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 11:10 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD - Windows '98 performance Please help! I am running Samba 2.0.7 on a FreeBSD (4.1) RAID box. Copying files of approximately 500Kb from a Windoze '98 box is giving absoultely dire performance, in the region of 500Kb/s. On the same network I have run the same test from NT - FreeBSD which gives about 3.7Mb/s and from Windoze '98 - Linux (running Samba 2.0.7) which gives around 4Mb/s so it appears the problem is to do with FreeBSD. The fact that Win98 - Linux provides decent figures suggests it isn't a Samba thing which was my first suspicion but I have reached the end of the road with what to try next. Any advice/suggestions would be gratefully received.
