I have low windows-to-linux samba file copy speeds and I can't figure out why. I have 2 machines that I can dual boot windows and linux. Windows-to-Windows file copy has no problem maxing out gigabit ethernet at 110+ MB/s. But when I reboot one machine into linux, it can barely hit 60-65 MB/s file copy windows-to-linux. I'm in linux using dolphin just trying to copy/paste a multi GB file to give plenty of time to saturate the interface.
For the hardware, I have 2 Windows machines, server 2012 and win10, Intel NICs all around, SSD drives on both ends, i7 processors. Two other machines that are dual boot, similar specs. All four machines connected to the same switch. Using "top" while copying, I'm not seeing high CPU utilization. It's not the hardware... Same performance on both "client" machines when booted into linux.
I've tried kubuntu, manjaro, kde neon, centos, all updated to latest versions. I've tried the common suggestions of changing options in the global section of smb.conf. I'm still seeing read speed of about ~60 MB/s regardless of what I do. Watching network utilization on the source windows box, it stays about 600 Mbit/s. So I have no idea why the linux boxes can't get a windows source to serve it up any faster than that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I've googled for the past two days and I'm completely stuck at this point. Would be more than happy to buy you a 12 pack if you can solve this one!
