 From time to time, big file copy (hundreds of MB) hang, but it's a rare
event. For testing I've just copied a couple of files for a total of 3.5
GB with some speed issues. Speed was > 10 MB/s over a 100 mbps ethernet
for the major part of the transfer, then dropped down to 5 MB/s after ~2
GB (only for the bigger of the two files). I didn't investigate about
possible roles of the LAN switch, though.

Thanks for the info. Once I enable debug, what should I look for?

Thank you.
