Bug#464752: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64: samba becomes so slow to being completely unusable
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64
Severity: important
I have a simple file server running Lenny with samba: when using kernel 2.6.24
the clients are unable to read files from the server to more than a few KB/sec.
Simply downgrading the kernel solves the problem.
I saw a *great* drop of performance also running tomcat.
