Hello Jean-Yves,
In order to see the slow behavior, the file transfer has to be greater
than 64,000 Kb. With smaller files, it will not be seen.
Ben,
There is nothing that I can find in the VMS specific or VMS modified
part of the code that would cause the protocol to be negoticiated
differently.
It may be that this is something that was fixed in Samba post 2.2.8.
Samba 3.x knows about more protocol negotiations than Samba 2.x, and
Samba 4 will know even more.
Right now I am trying to untangle a dependency there are now 5 different
sized "struct stat" structures on VMS depending on what version of VMS
that the code was compiled on and the build options, and if the modules
are compiled with different #defines set, bad things happen, some hard
to detect.
