I think in my initial post to you I neglected to include I have clamav-samba running also. All my media files I had to confiigure the cifs shares for clam-av to not scan them. i do come to find out I have a lil more than 256MB of ram but not by much. I do have every service I do not need cut off. Also mine swaps also. You should get better spped than what your getting. I can't get no more than 10MB/s. My smb global config may help some. top - 08:12:13 up 13 days, 4:55, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Tasks: 70 total, 1 running, 69 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 385356k total, 380516k used, 4840k free, 4372k buffers Swap: 655352k total, 68k used, 655284k free, 330532k cached [global] max xmit = 65535 disable netbios = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=524288 \ SO_SNDBUF=524288 write raw = yes read raw = yes oplocks = no John
