What is the overhead of shfs and smb in Unraid?

Featured Replies

There are plenty of threads about user shares being slow and esp in conjunction with smb. 

 

 

 

I also posted on Reddit asking for opinions and several people confirmed that the latest version is still very slow for access over SMB and esp for lots of files.

 

So I understand that a FUSE filesystem like shfs has to have some overhead, but not this much.

unRaid also officially recommends using a disk share or exclusive access for higher speeds, which to me defeats the entire point, as I'd like to use user shares backed by parity.

 

  1. what is the overhead of sfhs vs say mergerfs?
  2. there does seem to be an issue with smb implementation, plenty of technical details posted in above threads. 100-1000x slower is not good if true
  3. is the problem just with shfs, smb, or a combination of both? e.g. I saw some say that sftp to user shares was much faster
  4. is this being looked at and are there any plans? plugins to cache dirs are not really fixing the core issue, and even they don't seem to work
