Anyone have suggestions on what might be the fastest way to copy a disk image from an MS Windows 2000 server to a GNU/Linux client's hard drive? I'm thinking of installing cygwin and openssh on a MS Windows 2000 server and using ssh on the Linux system to cat a disk image file, piping it to dd which copies it to the proper hard drive. I'm also interested in using a native MS Windows 2000 server and corresponding Linux client (such as an SMB server and Samba client). NFS can be quite slow; is SMB any faster? I suspect I should stay away from using network filesystems due to slower speeds. An open source software solution is preferred. Proprietary solutions would also be considered, especially for a significant speed gain.
