[Unraid 6.9.0] Slow internal file transfer but only on ubuntu laptop?

[drewgi]

This was also happening before upgrading, I was only 6.8.3

 

Doing a folder transfer on my windows desktop, using SMB, i get anywhere from 120-250 mbps

 

Doing the exact same folder transfer on my ubuntu laptop, using either SMB or NFS, and I get ~8mbps, with some files it slows down even further.

 

It's an internal transfer (transfers on the same disk even) so I don't see why my laptops connection would matter, but even so iperf shows my laptops connection to the server is 75mbps, and transferring the same folder from the share to my laptop I get ~65mbps. 

 

Not sure what my next steps should be. I can't tell if it's a problem in how I've configured unraid, or the ubuntu laptop? If it's an internal transfer, what about the device I use will affect how files are transferred? Is there an easier, "more correct" way of moving files around internally I should be using?

Windows uses Samba server side copy, i.e., local copy doesn't use the network.

So basically when I'm on my laptop, it's having to do a double hop, plus more read/write penalties and all that? 

 

Is there a way to get that functionality on ubuntu that you know of? Or a different program I should be using so I don't have to go to my desktop whenever I want to transfer files.
