Hey,

I've noticed, that browsing samba shares via Dolphin is extremely slow

However, mounting them via

Code: Select all

sudo sudo mount -t cifs //server/shared/folder /mnt/whatever/ -o user=markus,password=xxxx,workgroup=WORKGROUP, ip=192.168.0.001

is way faster than with dolphin.

Is there an easy solution to make dolphin mount them like i did, just by clicking on the shared partition?

Did you try adding it to your /etc/fstab? That should mount it on startup, you can then just add it to Places in Dolphin.

I use smb4k for samba shares...

I dont't know wether adding it to fstab really is, what im looking for..
'cause i don't use it very often. Then also my system is most times on stand by
so it isn't rebooted very often and the share parition is on a system wich doesn't run all the time...

Ok, so i'm gonna have a look at smb4k
€: Looked up smb4k. But i think i dont want to have an extra Browser just for SMB.
Isn't there a way to (for example) insert a shortcut to Dolphin's left panel, wich mounts the shared parition when i click on it?
And how does Dolphin normaly browse smb shares? I don't think it mounts them proberly, its so slow and i dont realy see that
a partition got mounted...

Dolphin - like all KDE applications - uses KIO to access files. KIO uses it's own kioslaves, and in this case it is probable it is re-establishing the connection to the Samba server every time it performs an operation, which is why it appears to be slow.

As for getting it to show up in the side panel - the easiest way would be by adding it into /etc/fstab - I think you can mark entries in there as not to be automounted (depending on the distribution, not sure entirely).
