Hi,
We've had some reports from some of our users that out CES SMB
exports are slow to access.
It appears that this is only when the client is a Linux system and
using SMB to access the file-system. In fact if we dual boot the same
box, we can get sensible speeds out of it (I.e. Not network problems
to the client system).
They also report that access to real Windows based file-servers works
at sensible speeds. Maybe the Win file servers support SMB1, but has
anyone else seen this, or have any suggestions?
In the past I have seen huge difference between opening up a terminal
and doing a mount -t cifs ... and mapping the drive in Gnome. The later
is a fraction of the performance of the first. I suspect that KDE is
similar but I have not used KDE in anger now for 17 years.
I would say we need to know what version of Linux you are having issues
with and what method of attaching to the server you are using.
In general best performance comes from a proper mount. If you have not
tried that yet do so first.
JAB.
