[Samba] Slow Transfer Speeds (I have read the HOWTO)

[Richard Collyer]

Hello,

I've been having a few troubles with samba 3. I can only get 4MB/sec 
writing to the FreeBSD server that it is running on. As its on a 100Mbit 
network I was expecting at least 6-7MB/sec.

I've included the smb.conf below is there anything obvious that I have 
missed from the config that can be seen as a performance gain or does 
anyone have any ideas for non samba items that can increase the write speed.

Cheers
Richard
