I can also comfirm it seems to be working FAR better in Intrepid, I tested using the Intrepid Alpha 5 LiveCD
Test subject is reading many sub-folders of about 1000 total mp3s over a mapped network drive in Winamp. Samba seemed to be choking badly when it came to reading info for many smaller files together. I used a minimalist 10 line smb.conf with... security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 I also made sure that Windows was setup with the proper "SizeReqBuf" lan speedups to ensure that it wasnt a problem on the Windows side of things. In Hardy Heron, I left Winamp trying to read all the names at once, five minutes later it was still nowhere near done. The hard disk in the server hardly seemed to be churning at all, very low transfer rate across the lan (under 100k/sec). I killed it off after five minutes since by now this would be wholly unacceptable performance for gigabit lan. In Intrepid Alpha 5, doing the same thing took all of 15 seconds, and the hard disk worked constantly till the job was done. Much MUCH better. The transfer rate was also far faster (just over 2000k/sec). -- Samba slow on gigabit networks with r8169 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
