Fixing SMB Performance on systems with Intel Ethernet cards
Submitted by stevel (registered user) on Tue, 2006-11-07 16:00.

one useful extra trick is to know that the latest VMWare can crawl when talking to an SMB localhost server, due to quirks in the intel gigabit ethernet card.

If SMB network access from a windows VM image is really slow going to the filestore in the hosting OS, see  http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=105185 to see what options to fix. For ubuntu 6.0.6, I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/options

options eth0 hwmode=2
options eth0 mtu=1492
options eth0 seg_offload=0

Things are better now.
