Ok, this does speed things up, but it also crashes the server on large files.
Btw, how can I get a crash dump ?
Nevertheless it makes no sense why I should tweak all MacOS clients,
when this is running without problems on another OS.
And as I said before this only happens when I use "duplicate"
(Apple-D) on a file on a samba share. Normal drag and drops from/to
the share are at full speed.
