pras1011 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Therefore should I delete the share config file on the permanent usb or temporary usb or both or not?Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Why would you want to delete the .cfg file? It is the settings for the user share. After you copy the share so it actually exists, those settings will apply to the user share. If you want different settings you can change them. Quote Link to comment
pras1011 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 I forgot how to map the unraid server so that I could make a Films share directory and so I made the share on the share tab with the exact settings as the other server Films share. Will this be OK? Quote Link to comment

pras1011 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) OK Thanks. I am currently copying data over. Write speed is excellent as always and its between 100MBps to 110MBps. I will be back! Edited September 14, 2020 by pras1011 Quote Link to comment
pras1011 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 All the data has been copied over. XFS is really responsive and acts almost imediately when a write is requested unlike Reiserfs. I should have done this much earlier! Thanks all. 1 Quote Link to comment
pras1011 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Quick update. If I use ethernet instead of wifi 6 the write speed is exactly 113MBps throughout the entire write. Is there a way to squeeze out some more write speed? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You're at the limit of the wire speed if you're really transferring 113 MBps (MegaBytes per second). That is 904 Megabits which is near the practical limits of Gigabit network. So are you talking about MBps (MegaBytes per second) or Mbps (Megabits per second)? Quote Link to comment
pras1011 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 MBps. I am one of the few that does know the difference! Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You'd have to upgrade to multi-gigabit (2.5 Gbit) or SFP / SFP+ or 10 Gigabit to exceed the limits of Gigabit networking. If you bond 2 or more Gigabit NICs I dont think Samba uses more than single stream and they usually don't work across 2 cards for the same stream. Otherway to transfer more data is if it could be compressed, but then that chews CPU on sending and receiving ends and most bulk data that personal servers have is not further compressible without converting from x264 to HEVC or x265 or x266 and that takes even more time.

pras1011 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 The max write speed on the wd gold 18tb is about 260MBps. I will look into getting mobos and a router with the 2.5gbe on board.Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
