Both to the same Debian server

I get approx. the same speeds on my MacBook Pro (mid-2009), whether it's in Boot Camp (Windows 7 Ultimate SP1) or OSX 10.9

But if he has a script I can try out to test it, I can test my setup at home

It's a java .jar tool he wrote

Can he send it to me?

I don't see why not. I could send it to you even, if you're ok with that.

I think he'd be fine

you just point it to a remote directory and it times how long it takes to list the directory contents, and gives you an average.

Would need an email for either of us to send it to though

Ok

I sent it to you

Got it

I'll run it tonight and report back

Cool

Thanks

@CanadianLuke It probably lists recursively so larger file lists will give a better average, but also take longer for the tool to complete.

Hmm... So a possible shower is cloudier than a shower. Ok...

@BenRichards I got some LARGE directories I share between my systems ;)

@CanadianLuke Ah :) My NAS is backup for my tablet and laptop and redundant backup storage for my desktop. So, it takes a good amount of time for me :)

Plus a little bit of filestorage for things I want accessible across all machines, too

All my media (videos, pictures, music), documents (including programming), random backups for friends, books... Plus my BTSync from my phone and tablet

nods

@CanadianLuke He's communicating from Windows via SMB dialect 1.5 as well. So I guess it's Samba 3, pre SMB2

Do you know how to find out what version of SMB it's using? That's something I haven't run into before

@CanadianLuke He probably just has to either query the samba server with --version or check Debian's package manager for what's installed.

Dunno if the server accepts that kind of query, but I know you can query the package manager that way

I can see the Samba version number, but not whether it's SMB 1, 2.0, 2.1, etc

Oh

On Windows, you do it via an elevated Powershell and just run Get-SmbConnection

Maybe this would help him verify

So you want to see what version of SMB dialect the server supports, not just what's being used at the time?

It should only show one version, shouldn't it?

1.5 is what Windows reports is being used by the active connection made by his tool

He's getting the config. He just dumped the Windows SMB client config parameters...

He's running samba 3.6.6 on the server

Random question, has he tried disabling his AV?

Hm, I dunno. Wouldn't hurt to try that.

Or shouldn't hurt, provided things aren't infected ;)

Ok, he said disabling AV didn't help

Lowering the encryption didn't change my bench numbers. 14 files/second listed.

But then again I'm on VPN, though not sure if that should really affect it since the connection is still local, so it shouldn't be using the VPN adapter.

crap

where did I put that box of tea

well, the search for it is waking me up just as well as the caffeine -_-

@CanadianLuke He emailed me his server's samba configuration. I'll forward it to your email.

@CanadianLuke Sent.

Got it

Is his Windows PC wireless, or wired? What about the Mac?

@CanadianLuke Windows PC is wired, Mac is wireless, IIRC

Then that's very weird... This'll be a fun one to try out

Heh what are you thinking?

Just confirmed, yeah. Windows PC has a wired connection to the server, and the Mac is on wifi.

I'm thinking something funky is going on with the Windows PC... Wired, it should be much faster than the Mac. If they both run a speedtest, what happens?

I'll ask

hii

Hey @allquixotic, how's it going?

good good

Can someone explain this challenge to me? hackerrank.com/challenges/maximizing-xor

@CanadianLuke Same numbers from both. 100 down, 15 up, and he said he has 802.11ac wifi :P
