\nFirst I tested using my Windows machines to the Samba servers in question and they were very fast as you’d expect, the Apple just wasn’t fast at all. Today when I got to work for the first time in ages I noticed that accessing my RedHat Enterprise Samba server is fast, so tonight I upgraded my Samba’s at home to version 3 and that fixed it.
\nSo if your OS X is performing slow to Samba servers, make sure you are on the 3 branch of Samba.
\nUPDATE:<\/B> After this I was still having some issues, especially with very slow read performance.
\nI came across this<\/a> post on macosxhints<\/a> and figured I’d give it a try, sorted, reading and writing is much faster now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
