Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
Ok.. this took a while to work out... I am copying large files (over 1gig) across a 100Mb lan from ubuntu to a Fedora server using smb and i was getting slow file copy times, It would start of good and then slowly degrade with large pauses in the disk and network I/O until it would timeout. So i spent some time testing samba (think server might be a fault), Until i noticed by chance that if i copyed a test file to a blank directory it would work fine. so i did another test to replicate the problem and also break it again.. As far as i can gather nautilus must be trying to generate previews or something and getting in the way of the file copy. also if i minimize nautilus the file copy speeds up I hope this helps and if you need any more info/tests let me know as i have lots to copy to the server.. The Package is Nautilus 2.28.1 and the both systems are uptodate. many thanks calvin ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nautilus Large file copy timed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
