CIFS & Samba - simultaneous read & send

[Bazillus]

Hello!

I observed the following problem: When moving multiple files from the linux server on my windows workstation, it seems that the server first caches one file and then sends it over ethernet using the full bandwidth. It's strange because I always see the sequence

- Reading from the harddrive without network activity
- Sending to the windows machine over network without harddrive activity.

I use the command

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.11/D /windows/D -o username=test,uid=1000,gid=1000

to mount the windows share and

cp -r /home/data/* /windows/D

to send the data.

Copying via drag'n'drop under KDE does not solve this issue.

Is there a solution to configure cifs so that data is read and written at the same time enhancing performance? I was not successful using the search of the forum.

Greetings, Michael
