Dear all, I have experiencing some speed issues recently when moving files using Samba between a linux box (Kubuntu 10.10) and a media player called WD TV Live.
Both are wired to a 100 Mb network, together with a Windows 7 box. In principle I believe is not a hardware issue. When I move files between the WD TV Live and the Windows box I get speeds of around 8 MB/s. Between Kubuntu and WDTV I get less than 1 MB/s. I have tried booting from a live version of Kubuntu and still the same speed issue. However, moving files from a Knoppix live speed is fine. It seems a (K)Ubuntu problem. By default Ubuntu ships with smbclient 3.4.7. I have also installed samba4-clients, which replaced smbclient. I did purge all configuration files before updating. I believe the samba version in the WDTV is 3.5.4. I haven't seen significant differences between kubuntu and knoppix at kernel level. Any orientation would be much appreciated... i'm starting to be desperate :-).
