Hi @subzero79
I finally managed to get FTP (and SFTP with key auth) working.
Possibly FTP was not working because when I added the shares there were no privileges set.
This time, after restoring from a clean image, I had firstly added the privileges on the shared, then added the shares to FTP and enabled the plugin.
I have just re-attempted the operation (saving a 12 GB iPhoto library).
The first 10 GB - 6000 files were moved at an average of 35 MB/s (a quarter than the max speed) and the last 2 GB - 20000 files are now being transferred at 200 KB/s.
With a another folder which contains a different set of less bigger files (MP3s and FLACC), the average speed was about 45 MB/s.
I have performed the same tests via SFTP.
In this case the transfer were ~ 5 MB/s faster than FTPS, peaking to 50 MB/s.
Repeated the same (MP3 and FLACC) test from Windows, via both SFTP and FTPS.
This again maxed out the Gigabit connection averaging to 120 MB/s and peaking to 125 MB/s.
I think this pretty much rule out protocol based issued as well as OMV itself and leave me with the sad finding that the issue must be with the Mac.
I think I will workaround the issue as follows:
- Copy the files to back-up to a USB3/Thunderbolt SSD formatted in FAT32
- Connect the SSD to the Windows client
- Sync all the data to OMV from Windows
Alternatively I think I could sync the drive directly via the USB backup plugin.
The only downside is that if I use that plugin (or if i mount any other drive) the changes I performed on the FSTAB (adding noatime,nodiratime,discard) get lost.
Do you think I can modify /etc/openmediavault/config.xml and add these parameters in there or is there any chance that a next release or an update would overwrite the change anyway?
Thank you,
Tommy
