Copy/move slow on CIFS mount with cache=none set
Affected version
Gnome 40.2.0
Files 40.2
1:40.2-1ubuntu1
Steps to reproduce
- mount a cif with option cache=none
- copy files to it, observe speed
- copy files via cli
mv
/cp
Current behavior
while mv
/cp
operations saturate the network link, copying files via Nautilus is somewhat slow.
example
WIFI: mv
/cp
: ~30 MB/s ---- Nautilus: ~12 MB/s
1GBit-Ethernet: mv
/cp
: ~108 MB/s ---- Nautilus: ~38 MB/s
Expected behavior
Nautilus should be as fast as mv
and cp
Additional Information
Enabling caching makes copying fast, but also makes Nautilus freeze during the operation #1972 (closed)
