Thank you for replies, with option "use sendfile = yes" it works great (with good speed), but I am asking why is this option in CentOS disabled as default, even in standard samba build it should be (according to Samba release notes) enabled as default. So my question is, why in CentOS´s Samba build is this option as default disabled. Is it experimental? Is it potentially dangerous?
