Hi Karel,
as i cant see your smb.conf cause attachs are killed on the list
this way i cant help more ....
do you any antivirus ( clamd ...) on the server? this slows down
in some cases, have you tried to use another non gb nic?
do you use ext3, reiser acl mounted?
what are your logs telling, have you done a tcp dump?
did you ask on the suse list for known problems with that kernel?
Regards

| slow down logging at samba , try set sendfile parameter to no,

| problem:
| | when you copy from
| | server to client, speeds are on big files about 40MB/s for RAID1 and
| | about 60MB/s for RAID10.
| | But when you copy to server, speed are about 8MB/s. I have set up ftp
| | servers on them just to try
| | ftp protocol upload, and it is happy full speed both directions.
| |
| | After few hours of googling, I found "security = share" hint, which
| | didn't help, and after little more
| | time "use sendfile = yes" hint, which helped little bit, speeds are
| | now 10-12MB/s, but still not
| | acceptable.
| |
| | We don't intend to use samba servers as PDC, but just only as workgroup
| | NAS.
| |
| | Original smb.conf is attached (before security and sendfile tweaking).
| |
| | One more question: does anybody know good utility to test speed of
| | remote volumes ?
