I started getting miserable performance after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04. It's affecting any and all apps being served by gvfs: Nemo, Nautilus, mplayer, Firefox—anything at all that's accessing a remote filesystem. Again, tests with simply sftp-ing files around or using proper cifs mounts show dramatic speed increases.
In this case, I'm getting ~500KiB/s with gvfs and ~80MIB/s without. The server I'm testing against was also recently upgraded (12.04 -> 13.04 via 12.10), but I've confirmed that my scheduled rsyncs between the file server and the backup file server (also 13.04, slower hardware) can crack ~110MiB/s. The laptop I'm on only supports "half-jumbo" frames (MTU 4,078), whereas the primary and backup file servers are using full-size (MTU 9,000) frames, so I know why speed is capped at ≤ 80MiB/s in this case. Does anyone know how to mess with gvfs knobs, short of replacing binaries with scripts? Things like /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-fuse support ~60 cmdline parms that we could be experimenting with. -- 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/1075923 Title: nautilus hangs copying large directories from a samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
