Pro Pioneer NFS performance problem
For as long as I've had it I've been using NFS on the Pro Pioneer to serve video files to various media players in my house (a Dune HD Base 3.0, a TViX 4100, a Popcorn Hour A-100) with excellent resul...
Resolved this after a few back-and-forth exchanges with Netgear support. The culprit was the Netgear GS724TR gigabit switch that was recently put into service. The SMC8524T that it replaced is an unmanaged switch; the Netgear is a managed switch. The flow control setting on the Netgear was "disabled" (by default), and this was killing the performance of NFS over UDP. NFS over TCP, on the other hand, was working fine, which was an important clue. But using NFS-over-TCP exclusively is not an option since one of the media players, the TViX 4100, doesn't support it.
Enabling flow-control on the Netgear switch corrected the issue and "streaming" NFS performance is now fine both over TCP and over UDP.
