Right,

 

Found out why my speeds were being so hopeless now.

 

go script:

 

/sbin/modprobe powernow-k8

/sbin/modprobe cpufreq_ondemand

for config_file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do

    echo ondemand >$config_file

done

 

When this is enabled, speeds drop to either 800/1200/2400/3000Mhz.

 

Now when it's transcoding it jumps up to 3000mhz, but when I'm transferring files, it doesn't sit at 3000mhz and limits my transfer speeds.

 

When it's set at:

ondemand: 10-30MB/sec

performance: 50+MB/sec!

 

Why is PS3MS hitting 3000mhz and shfs isn't!?

 

Any help would be great, I'm going to leave it in performance mode until I can get speedstep back

 

Hey Concorde Rules,

 

What is your up_threshold set at?  By default it's 80%, so if you're not at least that load on the cpu between sampling rates, it won't step up.  I would suggest to try setting it lower, e.g. 20...

 

thx

Edit: Nevermind!

 

Some testing:

 

Left picture is to a cache drive enabled share, right picture is to a parity only share.

 

Speedup % is 60.

 

sampling_down_factor = 1

 

sampling_down_factor = 10

 

sampling_down_factor = 50

 

sampling_down_factor = 100

 

Max speed = performance mode

 

The drops are due to the NIC driver falling over
