Hi tkaiser,I recently downloaded some raspberry pie images from the official website and found that NAS could not start properly. What's the matter? Model: 3b+
Call for testers: OMV4 for ARM boards
-
-
Hi! I have two boards that doesn't have dedicated images. So I can help with testing OMV4 for these boards. I think it is old crap, but maybe someone needs testing.
Radxa Rock 2 with RK3288 on Square board, rare board, schematics are here.
Cubieboard2 on Allwinner A20. One of first revisions with NAND. Schems are here. -
So I can help with testing OMV4 for these boards
I don't think we are adding images for any boards in the near future. The images are built with the armbian build process. The Radxa Rock 2 isn't supported by armbian and the Cubieboard2 is at end of support for armbian. If you can Debian 9 on the boards, OMV is easy to install - Install OMV4 on Debian 9 (Stretch)

I have an Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 board (eMMC)
I'm willing to help with testingthe advantage of this board it has a SATA port, and ofcourse it's open hardware
so the availability of the board is very good

In the past I provided an OMV3 image for the board but since almost nobody is using it... grab a "Debian Stretch Next" from here and then install OMV using armbian-config. In case you run into booting troubles (somewhat likely since Olimex permanently changes hardware details on the Lime boards) you need to discuss this over at Armbian forum or have a look whether Olimex themselves in the meantime provide a Debian Stretch image (they adopted the Armbian build system so everything they released within the last months is Armbian anyway and the OMV images for ARM devices base on Armbian as well)

Just dropping by to say I have OMV 4 running on Debian Stretch for the ODroid N2. It's been a beast so far, about 2 weeks. I have some WD USB3 drives connected to it. Transfer rates are reasonable with everything through a Linksys 3200ACM.

Can you please provide a LanTest screenshot made with 10GbE settings (three test runs)?

I'd like to help but I'm not sure how to run LanTest or specifically how to configure 10GBE. I have a home router at 100M and 10M upstream. Are there specific commands that can be executed?
-

It's a simple tool available for free running on either Windows or macOS: https://www.helios.de/web/EN/products/LanTest.html
And no need to 'configure 10GbE' since that's just a setting (see the screenshot in the link above or more detailed explanation here). No need to run the printing test and the only really important setting is 'Network: Enterprise (10 Gigabit Ethernet)'
-
... and the Test should be done on a machine with 10 GB ethernet as well

Nope. Having Gigabit Ethernet is sufficient on both client and server.
The difference between the LanTest profiles 'Enterprise (10 Gigabit Ethernet)' and 'Very fast (Gigabit Ethernet)' is not only the amount of data but also the block size (1024k vs. 128k as explained here) and the latter is important. Testing with just 128k was fine one or two decades ago but in the meantime it does not represent behavior of real-world applications like Windows Explorer or macOS Finder any more. That's why testing with 'Enterprise (10 Gigabit Ethernet)' is important...

But then we will see results limited to 125 MB/s, no?
So you assume, that ethernet is not the bottleneck? -
But then we will see results limited to 125 MB/s, no?
With optimal settings we might see around 100MB/s but with unoptimized settings it might be not even 50MB/s on average: https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewt…f=9&t=2686&p=11687#p11652
Settings matter.
-

Well, 30~50 MB/s according to https://forum.odroid.com/viewt…4d5e7664ccf2e8204#p253352
I guess, neither our smb.conf tweaks are in place nor a mechanism to move the filesharing daemons to the fast A73 cores. And all IRQs processing will be bottlenecked by running on cpu0 (which is a slow Cortex-A53 core)... Settings matter.

I've just set up OMV4 on an Odroid-N2 and willing to help to the extent of my (very) limited Linux abilities.
For the installation I used the Debian Stretch Image for Odroid N2 by Meveric and followed the installation guide on the OMV website.
There were a few hiccups with OMV4:
1. I had to run the "Install the openmediavault 4 (Arrakis) package:" code section twice for it to install correctly. no biggie.
2. I overlooked the interfaces config in OMV, and after a reboot the board was no longer using eth0 ... had to reflash and start over.By default it seems OMV4 does not recuperate the settings for the network interfaces (by default it is unconfigured and thus disables eth0).
On the installation guide for OMV4 in the forums it appears there are a few more commands at the end,
after omv-initsystem :
# Rebuild configurations.
omv-mkconf interfaces
omv-mkconf issue
# Display the login information.
cat /etc/issueLooks like those missing lines could have saved me some head-scratching
I'll be able to test with the following drives: 4x WD MyPassport Ultra 2TB USB3 + 1x Samsung 750 EVO SSD in an USB3 enclosure.
Network: Ubiquity Edgerouter X (ER-X), Intel NIC's on the computer + Cat6a/7 cables. -

I would be really interested in performance of this setup with the SSD as outlined above. Can you provide a LanTest screenshot with '10 GbE' settings (on a GbE network)?
-
I had some time to play around with it today, well only the SSD (which is a 840 EVO and not a 750) I'm just not able to get access to one of the shares on that thing.
Started out with an NTFS partition on it, that didn't work (no access to shares on the Windows 10 Pro x64 computer).
After that formatted it to EXT4 thinking it would solve permissions and so on ... and I'm getting baldFrom there I configured it similarly to how I would on a Synology NAS...
Created a user "ME" in the "users" group and gave it rw privileges to the shared folder, also under ACL it has rw.
The shared folder is set to the root of the disk: / (Also tried with an actual sub-folder) and has permissions for owner: "root" (rwx) - group: "users" (rwx) - others (rx) - replace:on - recursive:offCreated an NFS share with default settings (rw,subtree_check,insecure) except for client: 10.0.0.0/24
I'm just not granted access in windows to the NFS share when entering the credentials of the "ME" user.
I can see the exports folder on the machine (it is listed by IP address en not by hostname on the network) with the shared folder in it but can't enter.Also sort of same with Samba, I'm asked for credentials when accessing the machine (appears with the hostname on the network) and then access denied.
Found this in the event log:
smbd[17792]: ../source3/param/loadparm.c:3244(process_usershare_file)
smbd[17792]: process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/export failed. No such file or directoryAny idea on what's going on ?

Continued testing on the Odroid-N2 that's at my workplace.
We have a Trancend 1TB external hard drive there on which I created an EXT4 and an NTFS partition.Did everything just like on the the Odroid-N2 at home,
except I first patched the following error I encountered when installing a plugin:PythonFile "/usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py", line 117, in remove TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable line 109: def remove(wr, selfref=ref(self)): replace with: def remove(wr, selfref=ref(self), _atomic_removal=_remove_dead_weakref): line 117: _remove_dead_weakref(d, wr.key) replace with: _atomic_removal(d, wr.key)
Did some testing through Samba (all default settings in OMV4) on a Win10x64 machine.
Odroid-N2_Samba_Trancend1TB_LanTest-HDParam-Bonnie.zipI'll bring my SSD tomorrow to compare and also do testing through NFS.

Thank you. Your bonnie tests show that NTFS should never be used for performance reasons alone (it's a FUSE filesystem and also not POSIX compliant). But even with ext4 the bonnie benchmark only reports ~82 MB/s in each direction (using bonnie++ in this mode is problematic BTW).
And your LanTest report is simply a desaster or more or less 'as expected':
Below 20 MB/s write and less than 40 MB/s read is most probably the direct result of inappropriate settings (all IRQs being processed on CPU0 therefore creating an artificial CPU bottleneck and inferior Samba (default) settings). But it looks like there's also a more generic network performance problem. Have you already tested with iperf3 whether you're able to reach/exceed 940 Mbits/sec between your Windows box and the N2
-
on the Windows machine: iperf3 -s
on the Odroid-N2: iperf -c x.x.x.x -p 5201 -u -b 1000m
(should be the other way around, but didn't work)Code[ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 848 MBytes 711 Mbits/sec [ 3] Sent 604908 datagrams [ 3] WARNING: did not receive ack of last datagram after 10 tries.
I suspect the cables, which are "new" 1m cat5e one ... probably not that good to achieve optimal 1GB ethernet speed.
