Slow Access From Windows 7 To Samba Share On CentOS 6.6 After Upgrade
Hi all,
Did anybody notice a really slow access from Windows 7 (especially from the MS Office suite) when trying to open a Word-doc for example, that sits on a samba share on a computer recently upgraded to CentOS 6.6?
It can take up to two-three minutes to open a 20 kB Word-doc…
I tested with the latest available LibreOffice for Windows on the same Word-docs, but this one doesn’t show this sluggishness.
Also opening PDF-documents on the samba share with Adobe Reader from Win7 gives this problem.
Opening e.g. jpegs and regular plain text files with Irfanview and Notepad++ respectively is just fine.
Pre-CentOS 6.6 opening any file on the samba share from Windows was lightning-fast.
I’m not too sure where to start trouble-shooting. I’ve tried disabling the TCP autotune on Windows for starters, which a small improvement, but what next?
Hints would be appreciated. Thanks.

correct me if i am wrong on any of these ‘note’s.
note1: LibreOffice for oos comes from LibreOffice site, not from oos.
note2: “Adobe Reader from Win7” means updated from oos, not Adobe site.
note3: Irfanview and Notepad++ have not been updated lately.
note4: oos not updated prior to CentOS 6.6 update.
interesting.
in the past couple of months, i read an article at att.yahoo.com that oos had started rewriting their software so that it would not be compatible with gnu/linux servers.
so, if you have updated linux and oos systems within past few months, i would give thought to relation of updates of both systems and when you started noticing slowdown.
just ‘swag’, but may prove out.
