retrieving dir struct. very slow trough windows explorer

henk

Whenever I access my Alfresco Server trough the windows explorer / mapped share it goes very slow…

How to solve this? Because it takes like 7 seconds to fully load a directory with 1000 files or so.

Already tested network connectivity *which is fine (100mbit)
Hardware of the Server is also fine *(which is above recommended)
Hardware of the client pc is fine too :]

whenever I access it trough the web interface it loads just fine (in webdav too)

any clues ?

- debian linux installation with alfresco community 2.1 release - tomcat, openoffice, java

Windows Explorer really doesn't scale well when viewing more than a few hundred files.

Is there any way you can split your files into folders?

Thanks,

shouldnt it just function correctly by showing the files immediatly?

That would be nice, but unfortunately Microsoft didn't code it that way!

If I am right this is the CIFS server being "slow" right ????

mikeh

There are two "slowdown" effects here:

1 - Yes, the CIFS server is slower than a "native" network drive, simply because there's more going on than a bog-standard file system (i.e. the Alfresco repository). It's also dependent on the performance of your database server and it's filesystem.

2 - Windows Explorer really doesn't scale well over a few hundred files over a network. Try browsing a "normal" network folder share containing 1000 files and you'll see the problem.

Well it seems the MySQL database is maybe also slowing it down.
Is there anything faster then MySQL or is there some way of tuning it for Alfresco ?

The database is hosted on the same server as where alfresco is hosted on.

What did you do to determine MySQL might be slowing it down?
