[SOLVED] mount.cifs is slow.

I can successfully mount a remote resource of a windows PC,
but somehow the transfer rate is too slow to even play a rmvb movie.

It can't be the drivers problem cause I can get over 1 MB/s with my ppp0 adapter.

Here's the command I used:

Code:

mount.cifs //12.34.56.78/resource /mountpoint -o user=xxx,pass=yyy,iocharset=utf8

And adding "directio" or "rsize=32768" into options doesn't help at all.

I already found a discussion titled "Slow transfer with mount.cifs", but it didn't provide any effective solutions for me.

Is your distribution up to date with regard to samba?

Thank you very much, my problem is fixed !

After using iperf to probe my network speed, I found that it has lock on a rate of 10 MBit/s.
Then I started to suspect if there were the problem of the network interface, and found a parameter in the remote firewall which didn't setup well.

Now my network can run up to 90 Mbit/s.

Though this is a stupid mistake, but still thank you so much.
