From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: Nautilus is slow and sometimes hangs when carrying out an SMB 'Network Neighbourhood' browse on a large network. Starting from the initial smb:// in Nautilus it picks up the domains, but attempts to browse servers on the domain (there are > 900) are very slow (> 10 minutes to show a complete list). There does seem to be any reported messages or resource problems I've used gnomba-0.6.2-4 from 7.1 Powertools which is able to browse ok and in an acceptable time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Nautilus 2.Enter smb:// 3.Choose Domain (in this case, one with 900+ items in browse list) 4. System will hangs or be very slow Actual Results: Nautilus hung Expected Results: Complete browse list provided, with navigation onto individual shares on specifc servers Additional info:
I'm workin on a rewrite of the smb support that is a lot faster. It's not quite done yet though. Hopefully it will partly fix this issue, but the problem might be that nautilus tries to recurse into all subdirs, which is very slow when each directory is a separate smb server.
Can you try 0.2.0-1 in RAWHIDE. It should be a lot faster, but may still recurse into the subdirs.
I expect gnome-vfs2-extras 0.99.10 (in rawhide) to be very fast when browsing this domain. Reopen this bug if its not.
Has this been fixed with an update to 0.99.10?
It definitely works faster in Fedora Core 1 than in Red Hat Linux 7.2 for me.
Malcolm, can this bug be closed CURRENTRELEASE?
Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED state for these products. However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the cracks. If, in fact, these issues are not resolved in a current Fedora Core Release (such as Fedora Core 5), please open a new issues stating so. Thanks.
