I run the freebsd samba-des port (samba-des-1.9.17.4) in a pretty much vanilla setting; home dir, a few shared dirs, no printing (yet). The problem is performance. While Samba is not terribly slow it's still too slow. Copying large files takes about half a minute/meg on an Ethernet LAN with no other activity. Trying to read a file using netscape (file://server/blabla) gets me down to 40 KB/s, or less! One user has put his WinNetscape mail directory on the server, and claims that Netscape hardly starts after this. The machine is fast (PPro 200MHz, three SCSI-UW (w/ 2940-UW controller) disks, 128 MB RAM) running FreeBSD-stable (2.2.5) and it serves nfs, http and appletalk (using netatalk) much faster than samba, so it's probably not related to network hardware. In the same network, there is a P90 w/ IDE disks running NT Server 4 SP3. It outperforms Samba, and this annoys me ;-) Any ideas? Best regards, Palle Girgensohn PS. I enclose my smb.conf, just in case.
