Hmm... the difference is comparatively significant as waiting for half an hour to transfer 700MB on a 100Mbps line is just way too slow. But placing it inside the publication directory of an HTTP server then downloading it from there incurs no side effects as dramatic as the nfs/ssh method.

The weird thing is it doesn't do that before. a mere tens or hundreds of MB file transfer stalling over scp inside a local area network with hosts less than three feet away _is just not_ normal nor acceptable, encryption or no encryption. I've had better experiences with using nfs in the past (although i prefer solaris' nfs implementation when working with gigabytes of data). I don't encounter the problem with stock 2.6 kernels lower than 2.6.8.1. Afaik there are some changes in the stable kernel series (really pisses me off there...) there should be a config (kernel or userland) somewhere which could be tweaked. > before you 'revert' to an older installation you can try some linux > livecds with different distributions, kernels, glibc's, etc... > knoppix, morphix, tomsrtbt, are some i use. If this can be solved in userland or runtime kernel switches then all the better. I'd rather not muck up with custom-compiled kernels on production workstations as it just consumes way too much time doing QA. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
