Subject: slow file access with mapped drives ?!


Hi,

running  ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]
on Windows2000

i have a script that scans some directories for given filename patterns
and does string replacement in those found files.

it works fine, but when it comes to work with files on a mapped drive
the script hangs for about 20secs, afterwards does his work and all OK.

i tried with =

V:/path/to/files
and also with
//servername/c$/path/to/files

and it's both the same, no difference.

Any ideas how to speed up the file access ?
Are there general problems with unc path and ruby ?
