SMB slow read speed after update


  • Hello everybody,


    I was already reading this forum since a long time without registration since I never experienced any problems with OMV on my HP N40L Microserver, but now I would need some support and I hope that somebody has an idea regarding my problem.


    Since the last update from OMV 4.1.12 to OMV 4.1.13-1 I have the issue that read speed on my SAMBA shares decreased to ~45MB/sec, write speeds are ~100MB/sec like before the update.
    Before the read speed was always between 95-110 MB/sec for reads and writes.
    When I check the hardware, neither CPU, disks nor ethernet are near their limits during file reading from the shares.
    Their are no advanced setting applied at the SMB/CIFS settings page and no settings changes were done compared to before the update.


    Hardware is a HP N40L Microserver with 8GB RAM.


    Thank you in advance for any input. ?(

    Does really no one have an idea how to solve this problem?

    The problem is it could be a number of things, check Diagnostics -> System Information -> Report -> Scroll down to Interface information and look at settings for (network interface name) you're looking for Speed: and Duplex:


    I have an N54L and not had an issue.

    Raid is not a backup! Would you go skydiving without a parachute?

  • Sadly the problem is still present.
    In the mean while I have checked everything I stumbled over in the internet while searching for a solution for this problem.


    Tests with iperf3 showed full gigabit network speed in both directions, which fits to the results of the transfer speeds of around 105-110 Mb/s over FTP (up and down).
    With SMB I still get 105 Mb/s upload but only around 50Mb/s download.


    I am happy for any additional advice.
    Thanks!

  • I don't know how and why, but the issue is gone as silently as is came.
    Because I did not change anything at the settings and configuration of the system and the SMB tranfer speeds are back at~105MB/sec for up- and download.


    Unfortunaltely I can not state in detail since which OMV update SMB speeds are back again at ~105MB/sec. for upload and download, since I used FTP to transfer larger amount of data after SMB became slow for reading.


    Currently OMV 4.1.32-1 is installed.
