ReadyNAS Backup minidlna

Tips: minidlna killing the system performance (fixed)
I use Readynas as my Apple Time Machine backup server. I have noticed that as or recently the backup has just been going slow like molasses. Initially I attributed it to Wi-Fi speed, my Mac, etc, but it got me curious to test my hypothesis. I logged in to the readynas via ssh (follow the instructions how to enable it on the netgear site), ran "top" and noticed that minidlna daemon is at the very top of the list hogging the entire CPU (0 idle CPU). I decided to disable the readydLNA for now and that immediately resulted in almost an order of magnitude better backup throughput, not to mention that the CPU utilization is back to normal range (1.6% user and 3.0%system) I wonder if anybody else had the same issue and was able to resolve it a different way?4.3KViews0likes10Comments
