Opening odt from cifs/smb share extremely slow in kubuntu

  • 772

I have a cifs/smb share mounted in fstab.

With Libreoffice: when attempting to open an *.odt from there it takes a good minute to happen. A *.doc opens instantanously, as does an *.odt from a local drive.

Kubuntu 19.10

Has anyone experienced the same and maybe resolved it?

kubuntu libreoffice smb

  1. This works for me. LibreOffice delay could be dependent on samba share mounting method mounting options.

    Create the following files with sudo and permission 600, replacing "your_samba_server_name" with your real samba share server name.

    /etc/systemd/system mnt-test-temp.automount 

     [Unit]
 Description=mnt-test-temp
 Requires=network-online.target


 [Automount]
 Where=/mnt/test/temp

 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target

    /etc/systemd/system mnt-test-temp.mount

     [Unit]
 Description=mnt-test-temp
 Requires=network-online.target


 [Mount]
 What=//your_samba_server_name/temp
 Where=/mnt/naila/temp
 Options=uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/etc/.share-pw
 Type=cifs


 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target

    /etc/.share-pw

    username=<username>
password=<password>

    Run the following 3 commands in a terminal

     sudo systemctl daemon-reload
 sudo systemctl start mnt-test-temp.automount
 sudo systemctl enable mnt-test-temp.automount

    You can change mount file names in the /etc/systemd/system directory according your requirements. But take care to follow the naming requiements of files by using the systemd mounting method.
