mounting cifs
Dear All,
I mounted a windows share on AIX 5.3. with cifs.
The write on it is much slower than from other windows clients.
Could you help me with any tricks to speed the writing process?
Thanks,
Zoltán Patalenszki

showmount
showmount(1M) showmount(1M)
NAME
showmount - show all remote mounts
SYNOPSIS
[host]
DESCRIPTION
lists all clients that have remotely mounted a file system from host. This information is maintained by the server on host (see
mountd(1M)). The default value for host is the value returned by (see hostname(1)).
Options
Print all remote mounts in the format
where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the file system that has been mounted.
List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.
Print the list of shared file systems.
WARNINGS
If a client crashes, executing on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted. In other words, stale entries may
accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.
Also, if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in Doing a of one of these directories removes the single
entry and no longer indicates that the remote directory is mounted.
