fuse: Use the big_writes option to speed up writes (1.95 KB, patch)

Description Michael Trunner 2011-06-14 10:24:26 UTC 
Hi,

I'm trying to copy some files with rsync to a smb-share. I used ~/.gvfs/[bla on bla]/, but it is very slow (~2MB/sec). The problem even happens when I use dd.

When I copy the same file with nautilus a have around 12MB/sec.

This bug is may be related to #543640, but I don't know.

fuse: Use the big_writes option to speed up writes

Without the big_writes option, fuse uses a block size of 4096 bytes
which results in poor write performance.  So use the big_writes option
to write blocks up to 64KiB in size.

This patch seems to have a decent speed up.

On my machine, this speeds up rsync to a local samba share from 2MiB/s to 12MiB/s and dd from 2.5MiB/s to 25MiB/s.

I have a similar issue here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10879 Isn't is possible, that using big writes in gnome would solve it? I already sent a gnome bug report here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762384 I am just curious, because the samba report appears to be dead...
