Samba Share Browsing Very Slow

[ciscocbee]

Hello,

Hello everyone,

I recently had a RAID Z setup on Solaris 10 (oracle) which worked fine until my motherboard gave out (computer would boot fine and work OK and then shut down ~ 20 min later). So I replaced the motherboard (ASUS E35M1-I Fusion AMD E-350 APU) but solaris would not install so I put in OPENINDIANA (build 151). I installed Samba and used my old smb.conf file (below). I can view the share from my win 7 machine, and the transfer speeds look good (I can stream an HD movie fine).

The problem is that for browsing pictures every 10 pictures or so the viewer or browser stalls for 30 sec - 1 min before it is able to load the next picture. It also happens when I browse to different directories. I assume this is not really a problem with teh pictures themselves but browsing. I never had this problem before, and any help troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Thanks!

OK, I figured it out. I got rid of samba (deleted the samba.conf) and switched on the built in CIFS/smb sharing. Seems good now, though I still don't know why samba wasn't working well.
