ISSUE: Configure Samba (Solve)

[Voodoo]

ISSUE: Samba File Transfers are Slow

Unfortunately, you are usually limited to a single line of transmission which is the cause of the slow transfers with Samba. However, Samba has been updated to use the SMB 3.0 protocol which allows the use of multiple lines of transmissions (aka network cards and cords) to be utilized. Windows 10 has been using the SMB 3.0 protocol for a few years now with Windows 7 still being stuck on SMB 2.0. However, we are mainly talking about the Samba host configuration at this time.

sudo xed /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
    workgroup = VWORLD.US
    server role = standalone server
    server multi channel support = yes
    aio read size = 1
    aio write size = 1
    client min protocol = SMB2
    client max protocol = SMB3
    bind interfaces only = yes
    interfaces = lo bond0 192.168.1.99
    bind interfaces only = yes
    hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16
    hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
;    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
;    max log size = 1000
;    syslog = 0
;    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

# users
    map to guest = bad user
    guest ok = yes
;    usershare allow guests = yes
;    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
;    security = user
;    encrypt passwords = yes
;    guest account = nobody
;    obey pam restrictions = yes
;    unix password sync = yes
;    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
;    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
;    pam password change = yes

[Share]
    comment = This is just a note for the share
    path = /srv/
    force group = group
    force user = username
    writeable = yes
    browseable = yes

sudo systemctl stop smbd
sudo systemctl start smbd

Save, reboot, and then test it out.
