Description S 2020-06-10 13:54:47 UTC
Hi there, I'm experiencing a weird glitch when transferring files (via WiFI) from a *mounted* CIFS share on my LAN. The ksysguard main window and the "Netspeed Widget" I have in my panel normally seem to refresh about 1x/second. But when transferring files to/from `/mnt/NAS/` they start to freeze and stutter, sometimes for ~5 seconds, and they they recover and update and then freeze again for the entire duration of the file transfer. This happens when transferring LAN files with Dolphin *and* via the command line. The rest of the OS remains responsive, though. My network is slow, via WiFI it can only do about 7 MiB/s max, so it shouldn't be a core I/O scheduler problem, and I have a relatively fast SSD. At any rate, my `/sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler` is [bfq].

Also I tested this using the normal KIO CIFS access through Dolphin, and this bug does *not* occur. However, due to bug #291835 the transfer speed is less than 50% of what a normal CIFS mount achieves.

Thanks for the help!

ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.

If your issue still happens with the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
