SMB versus AFP mount options

Hi,

I have run into the following I bonded 6 NICs on my Cent OS server into
a 600MB pipe. I use bond method 4 = dynamic Link aggregation. My Cysco
Switch supports this.

However I only get increased bandwidth from my MAC by connecting via
AFP. However when I manually connect via SMB I don't. I was told to
change the sockect options to the following on my smb.conf file on my
fileserver:

socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
SO_SNDBUFF=2048000 SO_RCVBUFF=2048000

large readwrite=yes
read raw= yes
write raw= yes

I did these changes on the Linux file server and still top out at 53
MB/s via SMB however via AFP I am able to get an average of 90MB/s up to
tops 103MB/s (My client is a G5 running 10.4.11 connecting over the
built in 1 gig ethernet port). It seems really odd that I cannot tweak
SMB to utilize the pipe properly. Any ideas?

I was told that it might have to do with the smb mounting options on my
MAC desktop.

Can I adjust the mount options via applescript and if so does anybody
have sample code for this or is there literally just a speed limit for a
MAC connection over SMB.

Best, Patrik
