Public bug reported: Copying moderate-size files to a samba share using gvfs is ridiculously slow compared to doing the same via mount.cifs. For example:
$ ls -sh testfile 1.2G testfile $ time cp testfile ~/mnt/share-gvfs/ real 2m37.053s user 0m0.056s sys 0m5.120s $ time cp testfile ~/mnt/share/ real 0m26.134s user 0m0.004s sys 0m1.724s I'm running Xubuntu 13.04 (raring) amd64, gvfs 1.16.1-0ubuntu1.1. ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236619 Title: gvfs smb/cifs file copy performance is terribly slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1236619/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
