Very slow transfers over SAMBA after upgrade to 3.0.2 build-52542

Hello,

 

Has anyone noticed any problems with samba after upgrading to 3.0.2?

 

We’ve observed that our backups take forever after upgrading to 3.0.2. We are using vcbmounter command in the service console to transfer snapshots to samba share on Windows server. Before upgrade, 20GB VM took 2 hours to complete, now it’s 20 hours or more.

 

I think the problem is related to samba client in ESX console. I tried shares on different Windows servers and the problem is the same. To rule out vcbmounter I tried to just copy file to a share. It takes 10 minutes to copy 50MB file!

 

The problem occurs across all 3 ESX servers in our env.

 

I thought that it might be something to do with network card/drivers etc. but tried scp copy to the service console and speed was fine. I tried with both e1000 and tg3 network cards.

 

Is anyone experiencing similar problem?
