Gave up in the end and installed OSX SL on the atom board - runs like a dream and I don't have to mess around for ages to get Ubuntu to support time machine. Get 40 MB in each direction regardless of...

B***er it. I've built myself a hackintosh on the atom 330 board and suddenly all is well with the world.

Cheers for the memories Ubuntu.

Well, I've given up with Ubuntu - I needed something that was a bit more user friendly and I thought Ubuntu might have got to that stage, but no.

I am now the proud owner of an atom 330 powered...

I actually like windows 7 after using vista.

Perhaps that was an intentional move - release something really crap and then something that's just bad and it looks pretty good..?
:P

Everything's...

Right, well XP gets 25 to 30 MBps speeds in both directions to all machines on the network.

Just to really confuse matters I discovered something really interesting.

I swapped over the drives...

Oh my god.

major balls up here. Would really help if I got the letters in the right order. I've been starring at my screen for so long that the letters all look the same.

I would really hate to...

Not working for me?!

Just upgraded to 10.04, samba is running, but when trying the following commands I get:

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
/etc/init.d/samba: command not found
service...

The suggestion of opening nautilus using sudo command to have higher permissions when enabling shares does not work for the error:

"'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot...

No - unfortunately I didn't have a spare xp license to try, but I acquired one this week which I hope to test out this weekend. Hopefully this should reveal some answers!

Server: Atom330D with 1 OS HD (40gb) 1 File HD (1TB)

You could always buy a short cable with inline volume adjustment - I had to get some for my skullcandy earbuds as they were just too bloody loud.

What NIC did you have before? I'm using an intel atom board which has integrated realtek gigabit LAN.

I'm swapping out the OS hard drive later to install windows xp sp3 and see what speeds I get -...

Had the date surrounded by quotes '' instead of backticks ``.

All working like a dream now!

I have a script (below) which works ok, but I have tried to modify it as I want to keep the older files for a restore if needed. I have tried adding a date suffix to the newly created files (second...

This seems to suggest hardware is a problem - but I know I can transmit and receive at around the same speeds (approx 40 MBps) using appletalk - so could the hardware pose problems only for SAMBA?
...

My bad there - should read MBps. - as in my first post, all speeds are megabytes per second (MB)

Reading from the samba share on the server is way slow over gigabit; 7MBps, whereas writing is 40...

It's not write speeds that are the issue - it is the read speed when pulling data form the server - I'm only geting 7MBps over samba regardless of the client setup. When using Appletalk I can pull...

I set up ubuntu 9.10 to use as a file server for backing up and storing media files - so far so good apart from the terribly slow read speeds that I get from the server.

I've tried for two months...

Did you find a fix for this? I have a similar problem, but reversed (slow reads, fast writes) and you configuration looks similar - which is just strange.

I have had this problem since I started...

I have the atom 330 Little Falls 2 board from intel - I wouldn't worry about CPU scalling as the northbridge consumes nearly 3 times more power than the CPU..
...

Nice thread on setting up SAMBA - very useful, however I have issues with the read speeds from my samba shares - they are very slow!

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed with gigabit ethernet - the...

Did you find a fix for this?

I'm having slow read speeds too - writing is about 5 to 6 times faster than reading over samba.

This is in contrast to appletalk shares which my mac can read and...

This seems to be a common problem - I am trying to solve it too.

Writing to the samba share on my Ubuntu 9.10 server is around 35 to 50 MBps depending on the client. Reading from the server using...

I have similar issues, but only with reading from the samba share on my server.

I have U9.10 installed on a atom 330 system, used as a file server with the onboard realtek 8111c Gig ethernet chip,...

Read the previous post carefully



Meaning you don't have to have a previous version installed to 'upgrade' from.
