4.1.7 Slow To Respond To SMB Network Discovery...
Hi, Since upgrading my DUO to 4.1.7 I have noticed that the DUO is *very* slow to respond SMB/SAMBA network share enumeration requests. It may take up to about a minute for the DUO to provide its ...
I agree with Ian - this "patch" is likely to cause other problems.
I rather stay with the current workaround: toggle CIFS once after each reboot of the NAS (which does not happen so often in my case).
To keep SMB connections permanently open will not help much; for each PC the first connection would still be painfully slow. And I'm not sure about negative side-effects.
I still asume that the problem is caused on the NAS side (some samba-specific settings). What we know for sure is that the samba version has changed.
PS: it was reported that NFS is also effected (with the same "trick": toggle NFS will temporarily resolve the issue); the idea that this could be related to the name resolve order has turned out to be wrong.
