[Samba] which kernel should be used to solve sendfile problem on linux?

[greg]

I have but not enough time has passed to make the determination if it 
solves the problem or not.  I'm collecting information just in case.  I 
still would like to know what is considered a solid setup for a samba 
server.  kernel version,  file system type,  anything which would be 
considered, or get us closer to the 'perfect' setup.

thanks,
greg
