hello
i had issues with the network card i was using, so i replaced it.
since then, writing to samba (from windows clients) is painfully slow.
reading from samba is still fast (even faster than with the old network card!)
using ftp, i get really good speeds in both directions.
so i think the problem is not the network card, as it works with ftp. (tested with iperf too)
some speed values:
ftp download from the machine: 40mb/s
ftp upload to the machine: 35mb/s
samba read ("download"): 25mb/s
samba write ("upload"): 0,2-4mb/s, fluctuating, 1-2mb/s on average.
but i don't understand how a network card change would slow samba writes down???
any useful ideas?
btw, i am on a gigabit network.
