** Description changed: Win 7 and other clients can handle a CIFS max buffer size of 64k, and default to this value when talking to Windows or Linux SMB servers. The practical effect of this is drag-drop file operations in Windows can run at near gigabit speeds (80-90mb/s over a gigabit LAN) even when talking to a Linux Samba server. The 'cifs' filesystem on the other hand struggles to achieve this by default because it's buffer size is constrained to just 16k. Boosting the buffer size with a modprobe.d options file like so: options cifs CIFSMaxBufSize=65536 or even: options cifs CIFSMaxBufSize=130048 produces a speed up in file operations (as measured with rsync -W between two mountpoints, or dd | pv | dd) which is on par with the speed achieved by Windows - taking cifs from averaging 40-50 mb/s on my machine, to the 80-90 mb/s the same machine running Windows (and talking to a Linux samba server) can achieve. - There doesn't seem to be any real downside to this in the common desktop - use case in the modern age (memory is not a constraint), so shipping a - modprobe.d cifs.conf file seems like a sensible way to close the - perceived gap in user experience. + There doesn't seem to be any real downside to this in the common desktop use case in the modern age (memory is not a constraint), so shipping a modprobe.d cifs.conf file seems like a sensible way to close the perceived gap in user experience. + --- + ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.3 + Architecture: amd64 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC1: will 3215 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC2: will 3215 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: will 3215 F.... pulseaudio + CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found. + DistroRelease: LinuxMint 15 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=0f40c3a5-e01e-4300-9363-384d60c1f893 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-07-12 (452 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" - Release amd64 (20120520) + IwConfig: + eth0 no wireless extensions. + + lo no wireless extensions. + MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
