RN104 6.9.1 poor SMB read/write performance
Hello, I have RN104 with OS 6.9.1 on it. Since 6.9.0 i have really poor read/write performance from SMB shares. Setup: 4 drives WD RED 3TB WD30EFRX - 40% free space Link bound 2x1Gb uplinks to Ne...
Hello,
Yes, it's the same story when only one link is active.
I forgot to mention that IPv6 is disabled, and disks run in RAID5.

It doesn't appear to be CPU bound (based on your TOP results), and a network issue seems unlikely since the direct connects are giving you the same results, and IPv6 is disabled.
Have you looked at the SMART stats for the disks (download the log zip, and look in disk_info.log)?
You could also try a balance and maybe a defrag (retesting when both complete).
Also, if ReadyCloud is installed on all the PCs, you might want to uninstall it on one, just to make sure the system isn't routing through the VPN for some reason.
Thank you for the tip - I will take a look at SMART statisticks and perform both defrag and rebalance. I will post an update when it will be finished. I'm not using ReadyCloud.
Hello,
I checked the SMART stats, no errors found:

Simmilar output for the rest of drives.
I also completed defragmentation and after that rebalance process. I have re-run the test with one link in bound active. Unfortunatelly no improvement in NAStester1.7 output:

SeeDCan you try a direct-connect test, and see if that gives you better results?
You'd connect the ReadyNAS NIC directly to the PC. To do this you'd need to configure a static address on the NAS port (for instance 192.168.100.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.100.1), with a compatible static address on the PC (for instance, 192.168.100.101, with the same subnet mask and gateway). Then run NAStester using the ReadyNAS static address.
