Juzzotec Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi guys, I have this annoying issue when browsing my unraid samba share on my mountain lion mac pro and even my macbook pro. It takes around 5-10 seconds maybe even 15 seconds before the files show up. I never experienced this issue browsing a windows samba share before. What could be the cause for the lag I'm experiencing? Your help is appreciated guys, are other people experiencing the same. Justin Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This could be due to a delay while the disks are spun up if you have not accessed the array for a while? Are you using the cache-dirs unRAID add-on? It can help eliminate delays due to spinning up the disks while browsing the shares. Quote Link to comment

I am using a cache drive but not the addon? Quote Link to comment

I believe it is also included in other add-ons such as the Simple Features plugins. I am wondering if it is intended that it become a standard part of unRAID - it would certainly seem a good idea to me with the perceived performance boost it brings when browsing shares.

Juzzotec Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks man, I'll need to switch on this feature since I already installed all plugins with SimpleFeatures. Quote Link to comment
