Did you try launching 4 simultaneous cp operations over nfs to get to 1.2 GB/s? I've witnessed single stream copy performance with Samba being less than maximum due to Samba limitations. Running multiple copy ops in parallel then usually saturates the pipe. I'm thinking you may have a single threaded process involved that's eating all of one core, at which point there is no scalability left for that operation. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
