Thanks David,
I just tried that line but it seems to be the same or if
anything it seems even slower.
I missed the start of this thread, but make sure that you do not
have a duplex-mismatch with your ethernet cards. You want to be
sure your server and your client(s) have the same duplex setting
as whatever they are connected to (usually some switch). At one
point we had excruciating performance problems with our samba
server, and eventually this turned out to be a duplex mismatch
between the server and the switch it was connected to. The
switch was set to 100-Mb-full/duplex (which is to say, it was
*not* doing autonegotiation), and the network interface on the
server was set to autonegotiate. The server ended up with the
wrong answer for duplex...
Garance,
Thanks for that. I am experiencing similar slow write speeds when I
transfer uusing SCP as well so it's not samba. Copying a file from one
HDD to the other on the samba box results in a fast write. It looks like
communication.
I've tried two NICs. The box is hooked to a 16 port switch which works
fine. I don't know how to check the autonegotiation.
$ ifconfig -a

Is there someway I can try different manual settings with the NIC. I
guess it is an ifconfig command. I'm off to google now. If you have any
suggestion I'd be grateful.
thanks
Gary
