SOLVED: Slow network transfer-Win7 to Amahi w/ Ubuntu 12.04

[marcerickson]

Like painfully slow. I've mapped a drive on the Windows box to the 1 TB RAID 1 two disk array I use for storage (the Ubuntu installation is on a different disk). It's controlled by a CERC SATA 6-Channel RAID Controller. Drive X:\ is mapped to /data/media. When I transfer files via the drive mapping I get 25 - 30 kb/sec. - when I do it via Team Viewer (a remote control application), I get 4.6 MB/sec. My network information from the Ubuntu box is below - but I don't think that's the problem because of the good speed I get using Team Viewer.

maybe explain your setup more simply, and then explain your end-goal. Then we might be able to chime in on your issue with thoughput

Don't know what fixed it - but it's working properly now. I had to recreate the share to the 1 TB array - it's now named data and is mounted at /media/sdb1. I also mounted sdb1 using the UUID.

For some time I was unable to access my Samba shares over the network from a Windows 7 Professional client - I kept getting No access wrong credentials errors. Then a few days ago I discovered that my Amahi password and Ubuntu/Windows 7 login passwords were different. Changing the Amahi password to the Ubuntu/Windows 7 login password resolved that issue - and when I connect to the share, I now get proper transfer speed.

I'm happy to have everything working properly now.
