    Hi all,

    I am trying to figure out why when I move a large file(s) from my desktop to my server, my desktop grinds to almost a standstill, My desktop nearly locks up, and the data transfer rate is almost next to nothing (around 2MB/sec)

    My desktop is UbuntuStudio8.10 (Perfect setup Ubuntustudio8.10) and it is a Core2duo CPu with 2gigs of DDR2 Ram, and a Intel ProGT gigabit network card.

    My server has the same network card, and network uses a gigabit switch.

    I have Windows vista machine on the same switch, and it just transfers at about 80MB/sec to the same server.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Heeter

    Is there anything in your logs related to this?

    Hi Falko,

    which logs do I look at?

    The problem seems to be with the desktop itself (ubuntu 8.10), everything else is humming along just fine.

    I'd check out all logs in the /var/log directory.

    Thanks Falko,

    There is quite a few logs in there, will see if I can figure out which one to look at.
