Hi all...
I have a very strange behaviour with windows networking. I have an HTPC, which I access from my Linux desktop. It runs Windows 7. Network is GigaBit, routed by a Linksys WRT320N running latest DD-WRT. I setup an automount path under /net/htpc with CIFS filesystem. I can also access the drives in HTPC via gvfs from Gnome DE.
Problem: speed is _VERY_ different. R/W through the automount point (CIFS fs), is roughly 7-8 MB/s (ridiculous for gigabit speeds). R/W through Gnome/gvfs (kind of fuse) goes around 35 - 40 MB/s (400 Mbits/s), that look much better.
I have tried with different rsize/wsize in mount, but speed is the same (perhaps I did not get the right values...).
BTW, I'm not alone:

but I have not seen any diagnostic anywere.
Any ideas ?
