I see, thanks for the clarification. It seems that you have some kind of a problem with your setup, be it a misconfiguration or a CIFS client bug.
Unfortunately, we can't remove stat calls from mc: it basically uses it for everything in the world, i.e. mode & ownership information, access & modification times, sizes, etc. I think that it's most promising for you to try to find out why these calls take so long and fix your setup (or else good luck trying to patch stat calls out of mc, look for the mc_stat function), and this report should rather be rejected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625739 Title: Slow start when current directory is on CIFS/SMB share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/1625739/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
