Hi,
I've recently noticed an extremely poor performance when trasfering files from Linux to a Windows XP notebook using samba. The notebook is using a wireless connection so I initially tought about some interferences from nearby devices but I can transfer up to 300KB/sec. from the internet so it isn't the wireless connection.
Transfering from Linux is running at 8-20KB/sec., it wasn't that slow initially, unfortunately I don't use samba so often to know when it started to degrade. I tried some suggestions found on the web without any effect.
I'm still using Fedora 10/x86_64 and can't update in the near future, samba version is 3.2.15-0.36.
Any suggestion ?
to global section add this:
socket options= TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
---- TCP_NODELAY is the default now
the rest of those options were useful for 2.4 kernels but of no impact on current distributions and I don't understand why people persist on using them.
