September 12, 20205 yr Author OK. Thanks. Once I do this will the Films share appear in the Share tab?Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk

September 12, 20205 yr Author 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
September 12, 20205 yr Community Expert 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.
September 12, 20205 yr Author 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?

September 13, 20205 yr Author 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, 20205 yr by pras1011
September 21, 20205 yr Author 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.
November 21, 20205 yr Author 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?
November 21, 20205 yr 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)?
November 21, 20205 yr 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.
November 22, 20205 yr Author 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
