TrueCrypt container
Hi I currently store a few TrueCrypt containers on my ReadyNAS 316. I use TryCrypt to mount these containers when i wish to copy/paste additional files into the container. This has always worked f...
I have a new local build of the SMB Plus app that adds an option for this setting. Get it from here, and install from the Apps tab, using the Upload button. Then launch the SMB Plus app, go to the Write Options tab, and disable Strict Sync.
We plan to make this a per-share option in a future firmware release.
This issue was introduced in ReadyNAS 6.9.0 and is still present in 6.9.1 (Just released). When performing writes to a TrueCrypt container that is on an SMB share with Snapshots off, COW disabled, File search disabled and antivirus disabled the performance drops to very low levels (15Mbit/s) and the HDD is actively thrashing about (a lot of noise due to the drive heads seeking). I reverted to 6.8.1 (while I know is not recommended) and the issue went away. So this is a new issue introduced with 6.9.x. In my case there are no connection or HDD issues, transfers outside of the truecrypt volume appear to be ok. Also it only appears to apply to writes to the truecrypt container as reads, at least my case, appear to be ok.
Thanks LucAce
I was in the middle of doing a systematic test of every hard drive and combination of writing to containers (on and off the NAS). Common denominator was that everytime i'm writing to a container on the NAS the speed is too slow to use. I wonder if this is going to be fixed in a future update? What are the issues in reverting back to 6.8.1?
