I just copied a 350meg iso across 100mbit network via samba in under 10 minutes. It pegged my linux nic at 7.4 meg for the duration according to gkrellm.
I normally see 10M traffic in gkrellm when I copy stuff to and from my nfs server
So i would put that file on flat disk space (no raid) and copy it with samba to see if the problem is in the disk or the network. You definitely want to get sftp out of the picture.
Two comments to this: first of all, it would have exactly no effect on the data seen in e.g. gkrellm (unless you have very slow cpus), since it measures bits on the wire, not data received by the application Secondly, don't be so quick to discount ssh file transfers. It is heavy on the cpu, but it can even be quicker than plaintext to transfer data if the cpu can keep up. The encryption also does some level of compression, and I haven't been disappointed by the performance so far -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
