[plug] Samba

[Peter Booth]

I am using a Linux server as a file server (Samba) for an accounting database application. 

Samba works fine with low traffic stuff but when I re-index the database which involves high disk i/o, the procedure takes a lot longer on the Linux server as against a Win95/98 Server. For example: the Windows Server takes 5 mins against the Linux Samba Server's 40 minutes using PC's of the same power through a 10Base network.

Any suggestions?
