4.1.7 Slow To Respond To SMB Network Discovery...
Hi, Since upgrading my DUO to 4.1.7 I have noticed that the DUO is *very* slow to respond SMB/SAMBA network share enumeration requests. It may take up to about a minute for the DUO to provide its ...
Hi Siigna,
I think you are missing/forgetting some of the details of the issue. In my case some of the devices being affected are domestic appliance type PVR (Personal Video Recorder) / media player devices. They don't run Windows and don't have a registry. They are a Linux based appliance with no user access to the underlying operating system. Everything was working fine with 4.1.6. Problems started when 4.1.7 was installed. The issue is with the ReadyNAS and not the external devices.
What does the SMBNoDisconnect add-on do in this scenario? I understand that the add-on makes all connections to the ReadyNAS permanent even if they remain inactive for long periods. There is a warning with the add-on that doing so can stop the ReadyNAS from freeing up unused resources. Won't this cause problems later on down the track? Can the add-on be removed if it doesn't help, or causes other problems?
This add-on was never required for past versions of RAIDiator. Installing it now seems counter intuitive to the situation. It would appear that you are expecting the patch to make the first connection painfully slow but then by keeping the connection alive, permanently, that the issue will go undetected until the connection is broken. This is likely to happen every day when I turn on and use any of my PVRs. This would appear to be yet another work around to the problem and not a real fix.
Please advise.
Regards,
Ian.
