TurnKey File Server Network performance.
I built out a current release of the turnkey file server (samba). Pretty much stock build from ovf into VMware 5.1 host. It is accessing a PRDM volume hosted on a local SAN. My xfer speeds are in the 8-11MB a second range.
Also on this same VMware host I have a Windows 2008 core system sharing a volume hosted on the same local SAN. My xfer speeds are in the 30-50MB a second range.
Is there any know issues with the Flexable network card driver (from the 3rd party vmwaretools pre-installed on the Turnkeys) or perfomance tweeks that should be made on SAMBA?
Just looking for any known gotchas before I go digging.

Not sure...
Reply 1Thanks for posting back
Reply 2Glad you got it sorted. I am unfamiliar with VMware, do you think this is a bug in the TKL OVF image?
Issue is in the link
Reply 3Issue is in the link speed/driver that is setup via the ovf. Once the NIC was repalced with a E1000 speeds matched my Windows server. The original driver was not reporting all the information.

It's not an issue I have come across but I don't use VMware either...
If you keep in mind that TKL is built on Debian (v12.x is based on Squeeze; v13.x on Wheezy) then Google may have some info for you?
