I mounted a samba volume on XP. XP and Ubuntu are connected over 100Mbps ethernet (router).
I am writing a 4GB file from XP to Ubuntu and the transfer is extremely slow : only around 1-1.5 MB/s. This is not a network or disk issue since at the same time this transfer is gonig on, I can scp the same file from XP to Ubuntu at 3-4 times faster (around 6MB/s). What could be wrong? Even for this slow transfer, smbd seems to be taking quite a bit CPU (more than sshd for the transfer rate). Reading from Ubuntu on this Samba volume is not much faster. only above 3MB/s. It is pretty surprising. Please let me know if you need any more info about the problem. The only changes I made to smb.conf are for adding shares. I have latest Ubuntu Jaunty packages. FYI: netstat on the connection from XP on Ubuntu shows around 1K of data on receive buffer. Seems to indicate smbd is not processing fast enough. Thanks, Raghu. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Very-slow-transfers-to-Samba-on-Ubuntu-tp24168452p24168452.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
