Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
I've set the Intrepid beta up as a Samba file server. If I copy a directory with a large (7,366) number of files (347 MB), the transfer takes around 7 min. Using Hardy, the same transfer on the same network to the same server was closer to 4 min. Transferring a zip file containing the directory contents (about 300 MB - they are images so they don't compress much), takes less than 30 seconds.
I notice that the Intrepid install (either upgrading from Hardy or from scratch) puts a new file, "gdbcommands" in /etc/samba. Is it possible that the package has debugging symbols or other extra debug logging enabled and that is producing the slow behavior?
To post a comment you must log in.
gdbcommands is unrelated - it's a file that only gets used when smbd crashes and can't cause slowdown of Samba.
I guess this may be a regression in 3.2.
