New subject: Low SMB throughput

28 Sep 2000

      The filer itself is a good line analyzer ( using pktt).  We regularly use it
when line traces are required at customer sites.

Have you run any network analyzers on the network?  This is the kind of
thing where a good sniffer (or a fluke, damn I love those) can be
invaluable.

authenticating users via the domain controller.

  People log on OK, intermittently files just will not save, transfers take
forever while nfs is still screaming.  Netapp engineers have had a look at
it and are as baffled as we are.

  We force everything as a matter of course.
