Hi,
I have a sambaserver running opensuse 11.2 and a gigabit network. Downloading files with smbclient from terminal is twice as fast than using nautilus or dolphin smbmount (smbfs) (66MByte/s against 30MB/s). I tried with a ubuntu 9.10 and opensuse 11.2 client. Same with upload (30 against 20). When I use instead an Ubuntu server - the same. All have some recent 3.4 Samba version. I had the same befor with ubuntu 9.04 am opensuse 11.0.

1. Is there a possibility to get the smbclient speed also from an x file manager?
2. Wh is the perfornmance that asymetric? With FTP I get +100MB/s in both directions. I do not use Jumbo packets (switch can not handle those).

thanx
