I have a home network with 2 laptops running 10.10 and the desktop on 11.04. Desktop is hard wired to a 4 port router while the laptops are wireless. Samba is installed on all the computers and works correctly but the speed is so slow that I suspect something is not right. I'm hoping someone will have some suggestions I can try to make proper use of the software. Many thanks.

Re: Samba too slow transferring files.
samba is generally slow w/ a 100mbps connection the fastest i ever seen was 8mb/s where with the same computers i would get 12mb/s using the nfs protocal , you might want to look in to that since your using only linux machines.Mark Your Solved Issues [SOLVED]

Re: Samba too slow transferring files.
This is still a pretty good NFS guide: http://mostlylinux.wordpress.com/network/nfshowto/
Note that "portman" is no longer a package -- that function is now included in the rpcbind package.

Unless you have a windows machine, you've no need for samba. Dump it and use NFSComment

Re: Samba too slow transferring files.
Thanks for all the replies. Would the speed of transfer be quicker if I was to invest in a NAS drive or still be similar?Comment

IMO, that NFS how-to is out of date and too cutesy-wordy for me. :PComment
