I remember reading on this forum a number of times that SAMBA was much faster at serving files to MS Windows type machines than NFS. Did I remember that backwards? I converted a client machine of mine from PCDOS 6.3/MS Windows3.1/NFS (or XFS) to MSDOS 6.22/MS Windows95/SAMBA. And I can say that for the exact same equipment trying to transfer the same 700MBs of data, the latter setup is astronomically slower than the former. So whats the deal? -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD <brian@mediacity.com> http[s]://www.mpress.com
