Funnily, I have the exact reverse problem. Netatalk works like a charm ( 2 Gigs
in about 4 and a half minutes (the gigabit interface on the server helps alot),
but performancs using samba is nor satisfying...Maybe I should switch to 2.2.x to
see if things improve...
Now, the obvious questions: What versions of smb/netatalk/kernel are You using?
What are the compile options for Your netatalk version/samba version?
How is Your netatalk configured (excerpts from the config files are welcome)?
