[Samba] Big performance difference between smbclient put/get

[Henrik Zagerholm]

Hi list,

I'm using Samba 3.0.21 on a FC4 box.

When copying files using smbclient I get huge speed differences  
between put and get commands.

smb: \> put backup.tar
putting file backup.tar as \backup.tar (543.0 kb/s) (average 543.0 kb/s)
smb: \> get backup.tar
getting file \backup.tar of size 31549440 as backup.tar (7681.4 kb/s)  
(average 7681.4 kb/s)
smb: \> put backup.tar
putting file backup.tar as \backup.tar (512.5 kb/s) (average 527.3 kb/s)
smb: \>


Get => 7681.4 kb/s
Put => 530 kb/s

Any reason why?

Cheers,
Henrik
