| + | ===== Slow Samba ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Symptoms ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Clients may experience some sluggishness during read/write sessions to a network share. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Cause ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to better facilitate our users of Windows Vista and Windows 7, we have upgraded Samba. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Microsoft has implemented new protocols for Windows Vista and Windows 7 for network communication. These protocols differ from the legacy protocols that were used in Windows XP and prior. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Due to this, Samba must now check the version of the Operating System that is sending any request. **This check will introduce some latency into most network activity regarding file shares. ** | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Resolution ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the growing number of Windows Vista and Windows 7 based machines, this change was necessary to allow all users to fully utilize the services that are available. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As such, PCN is unable to disable this functionality without loss of compatibility with newer systems. | ||
