Hello,
I have a problem with slow Samba performance if the client is FreeBSD. I have two Samba servers (version 3.6) on two FreeBSD servers (both 8.3, latest patch-level). The configuration of the Samba servers is identical.
Server 1 serves files with 50 MB/s to Windows (XP|7) clients.
Server 2 serves files with 50 MB/s to Windows (XP|7) clients.
Server 1 serves files with 0,2 MB/s to FreeBSD clients, if the shares are mounted using mount_smbfs and Konqueror or Dolphin for copying files.
Server 1 serves files with 2 MB/s to FreeBSD clients, if I use Dolphin or Konqueror to access the shares with smb://
Server 1 serves files with 20 MB/s to FreeBSD clients, if I use cp or rsync on mounted shares (mount_smbfs).
Server 2 serves files with 50 MB/s to FreeBSD clients. It does not care about used programms.
I testeD everything from different clients, to make sure this is not a problem with them. I used FreeBSD 8.3, 8.4 and 9.1 but it's all the same when working with Server 1. Maybe it is a configuration issue at all clients?
I have no idea where to look for differences or why the access programms are so important.
Can anyone help or provide some ideas?
