I believe this bug also impacts me too. Some simple tests made against the same remote network mount (windows server via 100mbps Ethernet) when rsyncing a 1GB file produce quite different results.
First when mounted via Nautilus (i.e. via /var/run/user/$user/gvfs/foo) I get a transfer rate of under 3MB/s. Then when using a permanent mount (i.e. mount -t cifs //foo/bar /mnt/bar) I get a transfer rate of over 9MB/s, which is nearly saturating the Ethernet link. I've repeated these checks in reverse order to eliminate the effects of caching, and it seems that gvfs is having the problem. -- 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/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1075923/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
