| |
[1.] One line summary of the problem: Linux kernel 3.12.1-1 breaks SCP and samba file transfers, specifically reading access.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report: My computer is hosting SCP and samba which serves media files (movies) for my LAN. everything was working fine until I upgraded my system:
[2013-11-16 10:18] [PACMAN] upgraded linux (3.11.6-1 -> 3.12-1)
and later on
On the upgrade I noticed that SCP and samba was no longer to read files, if they managed to read files they did it at a painfully slow rate, a 10mb movie would take more than 60minutes, the usual rate would let me stream big files flawlessly.
I did also notice that SSH became slower, whenever a program would fill the screen with new text it would take 2-6 seconds while normally it would be done instantly. I even noticed that if I ran for example 'man make' it would take 6+ seconds to render the document and I could see it slowly scroll in place, the RAM,CPU,network or disks were not strained during any of these tests.
I did also see that when I would download torrents it would seem like the problem disappeared, but it was a little inconsistent.
Later on I did also upgrade into:
[2013-11-23 12:59] [PACMAN] upgraded linux (3.12-1 -> 3.12.1-1)
but the problems persisted. I decided to downgrade to
[2013-11-24 10:49] [PACMAN] downgraded linux (3.12.1-1 -> 3.11.6-1)
and all problems disappeared. I've tried switching back and forth and switching kernel to 3.12 is like a on and off switch for the problem.
It should be worth mentioning that 2 of my disks are external drives mounted through USB, but the problem occurs on all disks.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): kernel 3.11.6-1 vs kernel 3.12.1-1
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): Im currently running on:
Linux version 3.11.6-1-ARCH (nobody@var-lib-archbuild-extra-i686-thomas) (gcc version 4.8.1 20130725 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 19 00:29:46 CEST 2013
but the problem has been seen on: Linux arch 3.12.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 21 09:01:05 CET 2013 i686 GNU/Linux
[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the problem (if possible) Not sure, but I tried to copy files with SCP from the external drive but it wouldn't work.
