[Bug 84782] Re: slow samba transfer speed to/from windows machines

 

cyd, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  slow samba transfer speed to/from windows machines

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  Installed samba share for a folder with rw, uploaded a file from
  windows xp, speed in dl is ~20 kb/s to 550kb/s

  same if i upload a file from ubuntu to a shared folder on windows xp

  
  if I download a file from the Internet the download speed is 1000 to 1600 kb/s, 

  
  the problem is present on samba and if I use direct ethernet (cross cable) the probleme persist, I have tried on two computers and if the file transfer is done xp to xp the speed is normal -> ~10mo/s (100mbits)

  find no option in the config file and nothing on irc ( i think it is a
  bug )

  Edit: The bug is likely more associated with a network driver than
  samba
