Bug#856463: cifs-utils: Accessing files with length of 1067 bytes extremly slow

[Stephan Gampert | GIP]

Subject: cifs-utils: Accessing files with length of 1067 bytes extremly slow
Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:5.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,



The windows shares are mounted using fstab:


Accessing some of the files is extremly slow (about 3-20 seconds):


R
real    0m14.747s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

R
real    0m14.506s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

Copying the files do not change this behaviour.


R
real    0m13.028s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

R
real    0m10.884s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

R
real    0m3.583s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

R
real    0m7.846s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s


All of the "slow files" have a length of 1067 bytes.

we are using cifs-utils to access Microsoft Windows 2012R2 File-Server shares from Debian-workstations. //fileserver/firstname.lastname /home/firstname.lastname cifs uid=firstname.lastname,gid=users,file_mode=0700,dir_mode=0700,users,user=firstname.lastname,domain=DOMAINNAME,mfsymlinks,noauto,sec=krb5 0 0 firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$time head -c 1 ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$ time head -c 1 ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$ cp ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README2 firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$ time head -c 1 ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README2 firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$ time head -c 1 ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$ time head -c 1 ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README firstname.lastname@devlin149:~/Downloads$ time head -c 1 ./openjdk/jdk/make/sun/awt/README As far as I know this is also the length of symlink files. Perhaps there is a problem with symlink handling.
