Bug #966
Samba Tranfer Rate Performance
0%
Description
Ref: http://blog.sip2serve.com/post/23097520081/win7-samba-issue-on-ubuntu-precise-12-04
Article states to add a line to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file in General Settings:
max protocol = NT1
I will add more if I find them. Testing now to see if performance improved.

This one recommends removing the TCP_NODELAY line.

Did you try these settings?
You can freely change the smb.conf file (i think it reloads samba automatically upon saving it) and see how it fares.
I am not well set up for doing performance, but i could try.

So far I see little or no improvement with the changes. Maybe we should start a topic in the forums and post on FB to get folks involved.
