Greetings,
I have an HP N40L, latest version of OMV, 8GB ECC, 3 WD RE4 250GB in RAID5 and a WD Black 500GB that I use as an rsync target to back up the main array, all formatted ext4.
Windows clients can read at approx 113MBs and write at approx 96 - 108MBs via SMB/CIFS. Life is good.
I have an HP N54L, and when running Windows 8.1, reads & writes to the N40L are at the above speeds. When I run any of several Linux distros on the same machine, read/write is approx 36 - 46MBs to the N40L as well as Windows machines. The distros were installed to the system drive and not run from the Live CD.
Any insights as to why the OMV implementation of SMB/CIFS is nearly 3 times faster than other Linux distros? My next experiment is to set up NFS shares between OMV and the N54L running Linux.
Thanks in advance.
