I have a strange problem concerning write speeds when copying a file with Nemo (the default file manager in Linux Mint) from my Linux Mint 19.0 laptop to my Synology NAS server. Copying is done by cabled network. Wireless adaptor is switched off. To test this I took a large video file with a size of 14GB. The shares on my NAS are mounted on login as CIFS to my laptop using pam_mount. The read speeds are around 82MBytes/s and seem fairly normal for a 1GB cable connected network. Although when I start the copy it takes about 6 or 7 seconds before the copy actually starts. The write speeds however are horrible. The are about 1/10 of what about I expect, around 9MBytes/s. I have this problem since a fresh install of Mint 19.0.
On the same laptop I run Windows 10 in a virtual machine (VirtualBox) with bridged adaptor. The read and write speeds in Windows are what I expect. Read: 81MBytes/s and Write: 96,6Mbytes/s. So I can rule out my NAS, my Switch and my cabling (CAT6A) to be the problem.
Also when I open a file with LibreOffice 6.0 (Calc or Draw or other, it does not matter) it takes LibreOffice a long time (about 10 seconds) to open the file. The file itself is 22KB, so this is ridiculous. During these 10 seconds the whole system stays frozen. Once LibreOffice is open, it opens a second file as fast as it should. I don't know if this problem is related but it's driving me mad.
My NAS server supports SMBv1 to SMBv3. Yes also SMBv1 because my Sonos equipment does not support SMB protocol higher then v1.
Also my NAS acts as a WINS server. The option "wins support=yes" in the smb.conf file on my NAS is set.Anyone experiencing this weird behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
The smb.conf file on my laptop is like this:
Code: Select all
#
# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
# commented-out examples in this file.
# - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
# differs from the default Samba behaviour
# - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
# behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
# enough to be mentioned here
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
# errors.

## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
wins server = 192.168.1.248
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.

#### Networking ####

# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself. However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
; bind interfaces only = yes
#### Debugging/Accounting ####
# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).
max log size = 1000
# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
# syslog only = no
# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.
syslog = 0
# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace

####### Authentication #######
# Server role. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are "standalone server", "member server", "classic primary
# domain controller", "classic backup domain controller", "active
# directory domain controller".
#
# Most people will want "standalone sever" or "member server".
# Running as "active directory domain controller" will require first
# running "samba-tool domain provision" to wipe databases and create a
# new domain.
server role = standalone server
# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using.
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
unix password sync = yes
# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes

# This option controls how unsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
# to anonymous connections
