I should have kept reading through the samba archive online. There was a
similar, very recent, reported problem:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.samba/browse_frm/thread/8bf6e9791ae9b3cd/0a038c363be7ba2a#0a038c363be7ba2a
After adding these lines in smb.conf, copying a file over samba share was
lightening fast (just as fast as over FTP/HTTP connection):
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
oplocks = no
level2 oplocks = no
My eventual goal is to be able to play mp3 and movies over LAN. And I've
run into the same problem with streaming a file across (as mentioned in the
thread) -- streaming a file is very choppy.
Any ideas?
