File share slow
Posted by Thommy M. on December 30th, 2007


I've two XP Pro (SP2) machines on a gigabit network. Sharing a folder on
one and mapping it on the other, then copying a 5 GB file takes forever.

Machines are dual booted and bringing up OpenSolaris on both and using
NFS then the same file is copied within a few minutes.


So, what can be the reason that the XP share is so slow?
