I want to know if there is any free tool to test the performance of a smb/CIFS network share. All free speed test I saw were for local drives only.

There certainly is, it is called iPerf and it works pretty well. Only used the windows version on NT shares but there is a linux version too and you can test speed between one installed on the client (windows) and another installed on Linux (server)

2It doesn't look like the thing I'm looking for. This one can generate traffic on any port and this is not what I was looking for. It's not about the network speed - it about the speed of the file server. – sorin Jul 09 '09 at 13:23
