Comments on: os x leopard samba slowness fix http://www.raintown.net/fBlog/2009/02/07/os-x-leopard-samba-slowness-fix/ can you blig it?

I can write at about 60MB/s to the samba share. Over AFP or FTP I can read from the same drive at around 45MB/s. The other problem I have is that after transfering about 2GB the mac will lose connection with the share. This seems to be a problem with the mac as windows machines don't have this problem. The samba share is on a ubuntu fileserver (9.04).

My support man got it fixed, by "doing something" on the smb protocol. So if anyone have this problem, you can write me a note on my mail (tw@westring-welling.dk) and I will give his contact info.

I'm a Mac n00b myself. All I can recommend is googling this problem, which you obviously did to find my post. Good luck.

My system supporter helped me with the Terminal thing. Unfortunally it didn't work. My upload to the server is very fine (gigabit) but the download is very unstady and slow. I have had 2 dif. supporters to help me out without any luck. The only thing I can do, is to set my network to 100 base. But that is offcourse ten times slower. Any ideas? Hi.

Is it possible for you to give the "details for dummies", or should I just keep my fingers away?! Wow, you make it sound simple :-)

I used a terminal window to list the /etc folder contents, and since this particular file wasn't there, I just created it with the entire contents being that single line. The file is read by Mac OS X when the network is started on boot. Thomas, /etc is not visible from Finder.

I can tell ya this could become quite a lengthy conversation as soon as I start mentioning what windoze does that the mac doesn't (scanning), what linux does better than both etc. maybe i'll save it for f2f. suffice 2 say I use them all for various reasons but would choose linux if I had to use only one. yeah but linux frequently kicks both of those proprietary systems.
