Hi;

I've bee playing around with smbd, trying to adjust the performance.

I seem to be getting around 2200k/s (2MB/s) on reads, but only 315k/s
on writes!

Now, that's a BIG difference.

I've been going over the docs, and have tried all the suggestions in there
for increasing performance.  Does anyone out there have any more 
suggestions on how I can get the write performance to more closely resemble
the read performance?

I have the sources, and have enabled MMAP use, among other things.  So,
if any suggestions involve hacking the server, don't hesitate mentioning them!

My server:  (yeah, I know, I should use a better machine! It's pretty fast, though)
   AMD K6 233
   64 MB RAM
   Buslogic PCI Fast/Wide SCSI card
   Seagate Barracuda ST12550N Fast/Narrow 2GB drive
   3com 905B PCI 100 base T ethernet
   FreeBSD 2.2.7

My Client:
   PII 300
   320 MB RAM
   Adaptec 2940UW SCSI
   Seagate Barracuda ST32171W Ultra Wide 2GB drive
   3 com 905B PCI 100 base T ethernet
   Win98

They are directly connected with a cross-over 100 baseT cable, so they're
running full-duplex.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Vince Fleming
