From ryan.coleman at cwis.biz Tue Sep 1 00:50:47 2009 From: ryan.coleman at cwis.biz (Ryan Coleman) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 00:50:47 -0500 Subject: [tclug-list] Slow transfers from Samba to Windows 7 and Vista Message-ID: I'm having painfully slow transfers from my FreeBSD 6.3 ia64 running Samba 3.3 to Vista (between 1KiBps to 15KiBps) and also to Windows 7 (50KiBps to 250 KiBps) and I've tried all the windows corrections up and down the board to no avail. I've finally given up on fixing Windows, so it must be my Samba installation. I'm fairly certain I have not forgotten anything from the file except 4 fileshares that are unrelated to the issue. Archive is a 6.4TB RAID5 (7x1TB drives) that runs blazingly fast in local as well as internet traffic. All components (Windows 7, Vista and FreeBSD) are connected through an Airport Extreme, but this slowness was experienced even on a basic 10/100 switch so it is not solely a problem with the Airport. Also direct connection did not work and Firewire support was dropped in Vista so there was no alternate "ethernet" option available to me. File transfers from my MacBook Pro perform as expected, with speeds ranging from 5MB/sec to 30MB/sec depending on the connect type. Any and all advice would be most appreciative.

Marc, You nailed the one thing that came to mind for me too - I've seen mysterious/slow through-puts before and it's always been mis-matched duplex settings for me. Plus, first rule of debugging stuff like this - "Start at the physical layer." Ryan, Have you tried other file-transfer protocols? i.e., ftp or copying a file using ssh or rsync? If those were fast while SMB was slow, then debugging service-configs would be the place to look. If those are slow too, look at the physical layer. I know you're using an airport extreme, but are you hooked up to it with physical cables or is everything going wireless? I suspect you have wired connections but if not that does change things a bit. When you tried your direct connection that failed to work, were you using a cross-over cable? While your description of your setup was pretty good, there are still points of ambiguity - if the problem still exists after your next round of debugging draw a picture of your network config. -Rob On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 1:17 AM, Marc Skinner wrote: > look at the "socket options" in smb.conf i have mine set as: > > socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 > > i would also check the duplex and auto-neg setting on the samba server. > i would hard set them as well. > > my 2 cents. > > On 09/01/2009 12:50 AM, Ryan Coleman wrote: > > I'm having painfully slow transfers from my FreeBSD 6.3 ia64 running > > Samba 3.3 to Vista (between 1KiBps to 15KiBps) and also to Windows 7 > > (50KiBps to 250 KiBps) and I've tried all the windows corrections up > > and down the board to no avail.

Other systems have not had issues and this particular computer downloads off 8Mb cable at full throttle in SMB over VPN, FTP, WWW and SMTP. 2) All connections are wired. CAT-5e and CAT-6 cables, used a crossover when testing direct transfer, too, but that cable has been lost since the the test in April (IIRC, I don't need a XO for gigabit anyway). I'm home sick today, and I might get the strength to get out of bed and sit at the computer soon.

I used it for a while - setup was pretty straightforward, and the Linux client worked pretty nicely. I wasn't crazy about it as a backup solution. It always felt like a syncing solution that you could happen to use for backup as well. Everything you want backed up has to go in your Dropbox folder - I used symlinks to pull in the files I wanted backed up, but then I had problems with some of my application config folders constantly sending network traffic because the applications would modify them while running and the Dropbox client helpfully monitors files for changes. Any bored hackers want a project? Roll a new Dropbox client geared more towards automated backups. Should be possible, could be popular...

I don't think anyone should ignore MS's ongoing criticisms of OSS, and their attempts to poison projects with their weaker licenses and patent-encumbered projects should be treated with the utmost suspicions. The first E in their strategy has always been Embrace, and this wouldn't be the first time they have attempted to get close to a competitor to later co-opt their base. For all the criticisms of Apple, they have been a strong contributor towards the community, and the fact that both competitors to the iPhone are successfully using WebKit for their browser bases and still working with Apple to extend the base should be a sign they can compete and still play nice with their community.

At this month the Penguins Unbound Meeting I will be talking about Lightweight Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP). What is LDAP ? What can it be used fore ? LDAP can be used as a central User Credential database. That will allow you to connect different services, like Routers, Email Servers, Unix Servers, Firewalls, Webpages (apache) and more to the Central LDAP server then you can have all your password (credentials) managed by this LDAP server. Giving you the ability to use the same password (credentials) across these different services, and allow you to change the password in one location and have it changed across all these services at once. (LDAP is the bases for both Microsoft's Active Directory, and for Novells Enterprise users management tools). I will discuss what it is, what it does, and its history. Then we will take a look at OpenLDAP and how to configure and connect to it and some tools to manage it. Thanks. Hope to see you there. ==>brian.

On most lists I've been on that have a separate announcments list, the point of having two lists has been to allow people to choose to receive only announcements and opt out of the much higher-volume list. I think it is usually a good plan to have the non-announcement list subscribed to the announcements list. That way everything that goes to announcments goes to both lists, but only one message is sent and we don't cc to the other list.
