Samba performance optimizations

Once again I am currently looking for various "verschnellerungen" for my home network now Samba was my turn to start had a maximum transmission rate 6Mbit whether over Powerline or WiFi.

Is used in my standart Debian Etch package, the following changes have taken care in combination for an improvement of about 14 Mbps:

write cache size = 262144
max xmit = 131072
use sendfile = yes
strict locking = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF = 65536 SO_SNDBUF IPTOS_LOWDELAY = 65536

The biggest improvement has been achieved but the SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF increase by variables that previously was deposited here each 8192nd

Meanwhile, I'm just under 20Mbit but surely there is something else.

  1. For me there was the adaptation of the Samba settings do not change the transfer rate had previously been 40 Mbps when copying files.

    Only when streaming DVD images via the power line route, the rate is at 20 MBit. Since the settings are, unfortunately, nothing changed.
