Slow NAS and some operations (eg. copy) impossible.

Post by alebal »

Hello to all,
for a few years I have used this:

Code: Select all

//fritz-nas/fritz.nas/PENNA_USB/FRITZ/NAS /media/NAS cifs username=myuser,password=mypassw,uid=1000,gid=1000,sec=ntlmv2,iocharset=utf8,vers=1.0 0 0
on /etc/fstab

to mount my NAS, never had any problem, I was able to do everything as if it were a folder on my desktop.

But until a few days ago I was using LMDE, now I have updated to the latest mint and everything has become weird...

The nas works, I can open files, edit them, save them, etc, but everything is much slower than before and some things like copying a folder have become impossible...
(I had already noticed this some time ago when I updated my laptop, but I thought it was a problem with my laptop, but now the pc does the same...)

What has changed, and how can I fix this?

Check your network card's settings

Code: Select all

sudo apt update ; sudo apt install ethtool
sudo ethtool `ip a | grep -v lo | grep -A1 -E "[0-9]: " | awk '{print $2}' | head -1 | cut -d: -f1` | grep -i speed
Make sure the speed to set to 1000.

If it's lower than 1000, set it to 1000 by typing the following:

Code: Select all

sudo ethtool  -s `ip a | grep -v lo | grep -A1 -E "[0-9]: " | awk '{print $2}' | head -1 | cut -d: -f1` speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on
If you give a man a fish -- he will have a fish.

Other weird things I notice using it ...

can't copy files (copy window opens and stays there forever ...)

But grsync copies without any problem and if I open a file (for example with xed) and save it in a new folder the file is generated and saved without problems ...

Please help me this is madness ...
