10.2 with samba problem

[arty]

hello guys
i have openSUSE 10.2 with samba installed on a 1gbps LAN
when i download a file from smb the speed goes up to half gpbs
but when i send data to smb it doesn't go faster than 2-3mbps
any clues why this is happening?

[arty]

anyone can help me on this?
i've spent more than 24 hours trying to figure out why this is happening with no luck

i've been searching around to fix this issue a couple of days now with no luck
how could this be possible
anyone has any clues where this problem is depending or something?

thanks in advance

can you post the output from:

ifconfig eth0

... assuming you only have one card and it is eth0.

It should look similar to this (mine is 100mbps though):

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:6B1:A3:B0

You could try installing an IDE drive and installing the OS on it using LVM. Once Suse 10.2 is running, re-install the SATA drive and place it in the same volume group (probably named "system") as the OS (command "vgextend") and then move the data from the IDE drive to the SATA drive (command "pvmove"). Be sure to move ALL the partitions (swaps and boots included). Lastly remove the IDE drive from the volume group (command "vgreduce"). Before physically removing the IDE drive, attempt a reboot. If it comes back alright, shutdown the box, remove the IDE drive, and put it back where it came from.

I've read a lot about other problems people have been having getting their system to install to SATA drives too.
