Hello!
I found this same question asked back in 2005, but never answered:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-September/098717.html
Today, 7 years later, using FreeBSD-9.1 I observe, that copying a file
to an SMB-server (a box with embedded Linux, actually), I get just under
1Mb/s using an smbfs mount.
On contrast, uploading the same file to the same remote host using
smbclient runs at between 8 and 9 Mb/s.
Is this a known discrepancy? Are there tweaks to be applied to the smbfs
mount, that can make it perform better? Thanks! Yours,
-mi
