I’ve struggled to improve Samba (SMB) performance between my Mac Pro (Late 2013) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and my CentOS 6.6 Linux server. The server has a large ZFS share with all my backups and archives as well as various KVM instances running off SSDs. My Mac Pro absolutely must access that ZFS share

Hey guys, not a long post today, but thought I’d throw out an easy little tip. I was installing some KVM guests on a CentOS 6.5 storage server and needed a VNC client for my OS X desktop. Found something neat that some of you may already know, but if not, it’s pretty cool.

So this isn’t really the normal theme for my articles. However I’ve reloaded the OS on my MacBook Pro the other day, because my factory hard drive died within 8 months of buying the MacBook. I replaced it with a 256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and reloaded the OS via net-install (Apple+R on boot.) About
