<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My thoughts are that Samba sucks and NFS
rocks. "Why?" I hear you ask, well for no other reason than personal
observation ... when transferring a file by NFS and also by SMB the NFS transfer
always tends to take 30-40% less time. I have never bothered to look into
the technical reasons why as I prefer to avoid Samba and SMB and only use NFS
as it is very easy to tune/configure when mounting i.e. rsize, wsize
etc. I am sure you could tune samba to perform the same as NFS but I have
never looked into it.</FONT></DIV>

Video Stream</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I am running mythtv with a separate video server. I
currently have it connect with a smb share. The only problem is a quick
pause in movies every 5 minutes or so. Not really a bother, but is a
tweek to smb available or would nfs do better?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Chris
