Re: OS X client, linux server, samba pain.
Same sort of thing as in smb.conf, iirc: "options TCP_NODELAY"
I'd start by pulling the smbfs kext source from OpenDarwin, though, and see if it actually even reads the nsmbrc files -- it could very well not. |

| Thanks. I guess you must be write about the file being ignored. Certainly, appending
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
to /private/var/root/.nsmbrc (and also, for good measure, copying the resulting file to my $HOME and temporarily doing chmod go+r on both copies) doesn't change the behaviour. Estimate of time taken to transfer 152MB: 1 hour.
I guess sysctl twiddling must remain the solution. Irritating, but not serious. |

Well, there is another option, if it's a big enough PITA for you (it wasn't a big enough itch for me to scratch, personally -- I only have limited interaction with SMB shares):
Download the smbfs.kext source, tweak the socket options, rebuild it, and replace the original .kext with it (I'd rename the old one, not delete it  . That's one of the neat things about Darwin -- the core OS _is_ open... |
