i have some powered-off VMs which are located on a cifs share. i use those for "parking" unused VMs.

i have observed, when these VMs are getting backed up with pbs, performance is terribly slow. (<< 500Kb/s).

migrating the virtual disks from/to the cifs share is fast (100Mb/s).

what is the reason for the slow pbs backup speed?
