Subject: [netatalk-admins] Slow write performance on FreeBSD 2.2.5, 1.4b2

I'm having troubles with my installation of netatalk-1.4b2 on FreeBSD
2.2.5:
Read performance from the server is great, but write performance is
really, really lousy. The client is a PowerMac 604e/200 clone, 10baseT
network. (Actually on a large file it's great for the first 1.8MB or so,
then it seems to pause for big chunks of time.)
I've installed the FreeBSD 2.2.5 netatalk patch that fixed the broken
Appletalk support in the kernel.
Someone suggested changing the definition of ddp_recvspace in
sys/netatalk/ddp_usrreq.c to a higher value, so I changed it to 50 * 600.
Any suggestions would be >greatly< appreciated!
PS: I have to admit, I'm coming at this from the Mac side of things, so
I'm not as familiar with Unix conventions as I'd like to be. (But I
suppose that's probably typical of people who need netatalk...)
PPS: I never could get the netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2 set of patches to
work right, mainly because I can't quite figure out how to install the
tcp wrapper stuff properly (I think).
