Ever since RHEL4 I have noticed that mounting a smb share on RHEL is
slow, very slow.
lstat64("/etc/mtab", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=376, ...}) = 0
stat64("/sbin/mount.smbfs", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=727684, ...}) = 0
clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0xb7f38ae8) = 25661
wait4(-1, Password:
[{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 25661
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
exit_group(0) = ?
Process 25660 detached
real 0m32.632s
user 0m0.048s
sys 0m0.056s
While SLES seems to have figured it out.
lstat64("/etc/mtab", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=281, ...}) = 0
stat64("/sbin/mount.smbfs", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=830976, ...}) = 0
clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0xb7ea56f8) = 13874
wait4(-1, Password:
[{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 13874
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
exit_group(0) = ?
Process 13873 detached
real 0m2.856s
user 0m0.024s
sys 0m0.048s
Anyone else notice this.? This is not just this machine but all RHEL4
and above machines I have in the lab. Windows and SLES seem to function
much faster than RHEL. Additionally, it does not matter whether the
share is user or share security the speed is just as slow.
