[linux-cifs-client] fast writes with to CIFS ?

[Geissler, Peter, Dr.]

Hello,
 
I am afraid asking a question already asked many times, but cant find
an answer so far. We are trying to do fast writes to a CIFS file
server from a RHEL4 linux box. Opening a file an the CIFS share
using open() with O_DIRECT flag set results in an errno EINVAL.
(linux kernel is 2.6.9-34.ELsmp, CIFS version is 1.34)
 
If not, what would be the fastest way to write on a CIFS ?
 
any help welcome
peter
