Mounted over GiGE to midrange desktop system from my laptop. Copying 2.5GB to the server was 88% faster with current mainline. Repeated the test 3 times each way. Current mainline cifs averaged 98.9 MB/s for sequential file copy vs. 52.6 MB/s (for 2.6.39 and older). stevef@stevef-laptop:~$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/null bs=1M count=2500 2500+0 records in 2500+0 records out 2621440000 bytes (2.6 GB) copied, 26.3095 s, 99.6 MB/s real 0m27.201s user 0m0.000s sys 0m3.340s -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
