Continuing saga . . .
SMB and FTP from another physical to this virtual run at full
speed. SMB from every Win7 box except this one runs at full
speed. The communications bog down only for SMB/FTP on the
physical host to the VM. Next step is to build a dedicated VMware
host. I probably should have done that to begin with, but was
trying to cut down on the number of physical systems running.

Further investigation shows it's not FTP nor samba. It's
Windows 7 (which I used for Windows file and FTP). Using
smbclient on a Linux box I get 19MB/sec and FTP from Linux I
get 32MB/sec. Concurrent with replacing the old file server
was the purchase of a new PC. I guess we know what XP does
better than Windows 7.

Spent several hours researching this one - can't find a
solution. I hope someone here can hit me with a
clue-by-four.
CentOS 6.3 64-bit virtual running under VMware 2.0.2 fresh
install with FTP/Samba/NFS running. I copied 500+GB of data
from the old computer to the new one using NFS at full
network speed (11+ MB/sec). Life's good.
Now here it is a day later, and my samba write speed is a
blazing 80KB/sec (up from 40KB/s when I started
troubleshooting). I read samba should approach FTP speed
and I verified it does - FTP writes to the new machine at
about the same speed. Reads still take place a full speed
(now it's on a 1Gbps network) - 33MB/sec. Writes . . . 99.8%
slower. I did not have this problem on the previous samba
server (CentOS 4.8 32-bit).
I added memory (it now has 1GB RAM, 1 GB swap) and it has 2
CPU's. This had no effect.
In summary, NFS works at full speed both ways. Samba/FTP
are fast on reads but snail slow on writes.
My next thought is to install ClearOS, test it, and copy
their smb.conf. Or install CentOS 5.x and see if it has the
same problems.
Any ideas where to look on this one? smb.conf necessary.
