Public bug reported:

Hello,

I tried opening remote files (via SAMBA on a Windows XP Professional
CPU) via KIO SLAVES in my Kubuntu distribution and I couldn't open most
of them because a lot of aplcations don't have support for KIO SLAVES
smb:// protocol (and I don't know why - it's a lot more efficient to
access a remote path directly than mounting it with CIFS or something
related...)...

PROBLEM:

Anyway,  when I open some files with some specific programs (until now
I've only see this happen with GNOME Mplayer and LibreOffice) via
SMBNETFS mounting filesystem, I have a delay when compared to the CIFS
mounting (to mount via CIFS I used MOUNT.CIFS)... So is this delay
related to the WORKGROUP scan or is it a bug of the program?

SOLUTION:

Use CIFS similar way of mounting remote SAMBA paths on SMBNETFS to speed
it up...

SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

In the attachments there is a XLS file that has some information about
how this delay affected the accessing speed...

Thanks for your attention and help,

André M.
