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
