Subject: CIFS is slooow, gvfs is fast
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 01:35:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101022013544.0fdab0e0@werewolf.home> (raw)
Hi all...
I have a very strange behaviour with windows networking.
I have an HTPC, which I access from my Linux desktop. It runs Windows 7.
Network is GigaBit, routed by a Linksys WRT320N running latest DD-WRT.
I setup an automount path under /net/htpc with CIFS filesystem.
I can also access the drives in HTPC via gvfs from Gnome DE.
Problem: speed is _VERY_ different.
R/W through the automount point (CIFS fs), is roughly 7-8 MB/s (ridiculous
for gigabit speeds).
R/W through Gnome/gvfs (kind of fuse) goes around 35 - 40 MB/s (400 Mbits/s),
that look much better.
I have tried with different rsize/wsize in mount, but speed is the same
(perhaps I did not get the right values...).
BTW, I'm not alone:

but I have not seen any diagnostic anywere.
Any ideas ?
