Re: OS X client, linux server, samba pain.
said by Crypto  :It's certainly much, much faster with delayed acks set to 0 on the OS X box. What are the ramifications to just leaving the OS X box like that? Sorry, forgot to answer that one. If you leave it like that, nothing will break, but your other network traffic will be less than optimal, as TCP will send an ack for every packet instead of combining them and acking several packets at a time. So just evaluate your typical network usage (with the most emphasis on local, high-speed stuff) -- if it's mostly SMB to a server that doesn't deal well with delayed acks, I'd normally leave it disabled. If that's a small percentage of your overall usage, I'd leave it at it's default. Heck, you could always wrap it with an Automator script and assign a hotkey to it to switch on demand.  |
