I haven't really tested for speed. My problem, prior to the 2.6.10
series, was that konqueror and other graphical programs couldn't access
the shares through the mount points, although the command line and non
graphical programs like Midnight Commander could.
For example, I mount tow windows shares as
/home/mikecoan/mnt/WinServer/Pubdata and
/home/mikecoan/mnt/WinServer/Users
If I use konqueror or Open Office or Thunderbird or Kmail to access
those shares, I cannot. Under konqueror i can access the shares by
smb://192.168.1.1/Pubdata and
smb://192.168.1.1/Users
As i said, Midnight Commander and command line access the shares fine.
i can cd to /home/mikecoan/mnt/WinServer/Pubdata with no problem and
access the files and directories there. This problem is fixed if I use
one of the 2.6.10 kernels from the apt repository. Unfortunately, I
cannot compile the nvidia driver for those kernels.
Your friend might try lists.samba.org. The linux-cifs-client mailing
list has lots of info and god posts on cifs. At least I think they are
good posts because they are beyond me :) Steven French of IBM, who
seems to write most of the cifs code, posts there frequently.
