Hello,
Well I guess I have been having slow transfer speed since I installed OMV on a spare computer I had, one year ago. Btw this is my first server, so I have been learning during the process.
Okay, so now I learned that my speed transfer should have been better and I have been reading for then last two days how to check this, like how to tune up samba, enable samba2, kernels, learned how to use iperf, etc.
What I know is the cable going to my server is Cat5 so I ordered a cat6, after learning that this makes a huge difference. I should be getting this next week, if I don't find it at a computer store this weekend.
However, iperf gives me this reading:
NIC Card on server is a Realtek 8111C Gigabit Lan
Cat5 cable
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU 920@ 2.67GHz
Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 4] local 192.168.2.17 port 5001 connected with 192.168.2.14 port 59487
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.0-10.3 sec 11.6 MBytes 9.47 Mbits/sec
Which I think it is very slow for a Cat5 still. Am I wrong??
When I am transferring, the cpu usage never goes above 15%
when I get the CAt6 one, hopefully I get a better reading.
I saw on another forum that the TCP may affect this too. But how do I check this?
So I have been transferring big files from my PC to the server and it get 1.3 MB/s , which it is painfully slow. Never goes more than that, no matter what I have tried..... and this is what made look into this speed issue.
any inputs would be appreciated.
