I couldn't understand why when I copy a huge 4GB file to my samba share its too damn fast. But when I copy 35 mbs of some 1000+ files it takes forever. 9 hrs or so for 4000files totatlling 250MB around. I was searching for an answer. I hit google, I dropped here. This article explains it all very nicely "fast queries", must be some very important thing. I don't care whose fault it is or who is reverse engineering. Both Windows File share and Samba are incredible things. One without the other would suck too much. All I want to know when are they gonna fix it. And No! I am not talking about some buggy, patch, beta version or a swift upgrade with my eyes closed. I have learned to upgrade only when absolutely necessary. Thanks.

I am running Vista x64 and I cannot access my Vantec NAS drive. It works fine with other systems, including Vista x86 32bit systems. I have tried all the recommendations above, but none have helped. Any other ideas for Vista x64? Thx muchly! Hi there…
