In that respect, SMB has improved since OMV 2.x (still not as good as AFP but's marginal now)
Situation with macOS SMB clients is special and the challenges are outlined a bit here. Asides that check 'ok-ish' setup scores with pretty recent Samba and appropriate smb.conf settings there: https://github.com/openmediava…01#issuecomment-468270197
I'm using Mac and Windows as well.
Let see if your settings improve the performance.
Thanks.
I just set up an OMV server on a Rockpro64 and I'm getting write speeds around 50mb/s. I know the specific board is capable for double that speed but none of the aforementioned extra options seem to be working for me...

I have Rockpro64 as well, and I cannot get over 11 mb/s. And have tried everything in both of these threads. I recently got an eMMc to boot from so reinstalled everything before I would get speeds up to 80mb/s through Samba.

Sounds like your system is connecting at 100mbps instead of gigabit. Check your cable and switch.
How can I access the samba settings? Those indicated here in this post, on the first page.
The extra options box on the smb/cifs settings tab.

The "tuning samba" recommendation are from 2016, are these still valid for OMV5 in 2021?
4k8uiMg3pYTJVtFQ5QsF did you see the "Extra Options" in RPi4 read/write performance for SMB shares ?
Extra Options on server are not platform specific, hence should work on x86 too
Hello from Bucharest-Romania, newbie here.
Nice to meet all of you.
I am an old, almost-retired technical engineer, savvy for DIY, modding and tinkering, addicted audiophile...
I just installed OMV, bare metal, on an Intel minipc, and I attached one 4TB USB3 external USB drive, everything is running on Ethernet cat6 physical line, through a wireless bridge between two asus routers...
Configuration of harware OMV machine is:
Hardware Acer Veriton N4630G, 8GB DDR3 RAM
Hostname openmediavault.WORKGROUP
Version 6.0-34 (Shaitan)
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570S CPU @ 2.90GHz
Kernel Linux 5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
I need this installation to function on SM v.1 because it is feeding audio and video files to my OPPO205 lapyer, which doesn”t know anything more tham SMB V.1. I managed to do this by adding to advanced settings, EXTRA OPTIONS in global secton of SMB/CIFS the following lines:
tlm auth = yes
client min protocol = NT1
server min protocol = NT1
This gave me a wired upload speed of 75-90 MB/s, from windows laptop with SMBv.1 enabled, totally satisfactory since I want primarily to be able to ADD more files to collection, from windows PC to OMV external USB shared disk.
Problem is that, reversely, COPYING from OMV ext. USB disk back to same windows 11 laptop PC gives only 2-5 MB/s, oscillating speed....
All write/copy is made through Windows 11/64bit native Explorer.
I tried to remedy this speed mismatch in all possible combinations, altogether, alternatively, one-by-one of the solutions found in the two relevant threads here, but wit no results. Even worse, write speed decreased from 75 to 25 – so I deleted everything from advanced SMB config, except for the main first three lines enforcing SMB V.1.
The various alternative settings tried already:
1.
max protocol = smb2
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
getwd cache = yes
2.
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 TCP_NODELAY
min receivefile size = 2048
use sendfile = true
aio read size = 2048
aio write size = 2048
write cache size = 1024000
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
getwd cache = yes
oplocks = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
large readwrite = yes
3.
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
Please assist in order to get a more decent speed, it does not HAVE TO match the write speed on the disk, of which I am quite happy. Just a decent, practical speed...
I know hot to enter putty and ssh if necessary, but I am by no means any good in linux programming, so all I can is follow indications and written commands, not interpreting and troubleshooting.
Excuse me for posting this message twice, on both threads recommended in the CommonProblems main thread, at Problem #5: Samba is slow....
Cheers to each and everyone.
attached one 4TB USB3 external USB drive
file system used?
through a wireless bridge between two asus routers.
what WIFI standard used? how many other WiFi routers are visible from neighbourhood?
wired upload speed of 75-90 MB/s, from windows laptop ... download only 2-5 MB/s, oscillating speed
Have you disabled WiFi on laptop to assure wire is actually used?
Hello.
Wireless AC bridge.
LAN functionality verified..
Proof is 80GB write to disk.
Problem is reverse, read fron disk and write on laptop (top, new alienware).
laptop on ssd only, read write over 300gb/s...

did you notice that my questions are not answered yet?
Actually, and implicitly, two questions were answered.
Wireless AC bridge link, was answered, maybe not in many words.
LAN connection on PC, so no wireless, question answered.
Only wireless AC router in neighborhood. So no wifi clutter.
File system used is NTFS, on USB3 cable, on USB 3 port.
Anyway, today I tried again and I had good speeds, which I cannot really understand why.
Thank you for your kind answers and help.

AC is sensitive to interference from many things and its range is not all that great for high speeds. Were you closer to your router and/or less interference between it and the wireless device?
It is a fixed position, 5 yards apart.
No wireless AC on 5GHz band interference, at all.
Proof was the upload speed. 90MB/s. Down, 2MB/s...
Just OMV as was setup.
I applied fixes, speed up was cut to 25MB/s. I deleted global SMB fixes, everything went up again for uplink.
Downlink, the same. I got pissed, cut the power and went to sleep. Not power OFF, just pwoer down, sudden.
Today after work, came and powered up, tried again (just to get pissed again) and, what do you know, everything was OK. Dunno why. If tomorrow everything is worse, again, I wouldn't know what to do. Except for pray.
Cheers and thanks.

Thank you for your input. Spent last hours reading and I put together a complete written case of machine, install, results and a lot of testing results so maybe now you have a clear image of my setup and what is happening. I hoe there are several wrong setup things not hardware fault or incompatibilities. I attach pdf with complete writeup.
Analyzed 5GHz networs, extremely low interference, changed control channel of router-bridge, should be fine...
As both machines, mediaplayer and OMV BOTH feature same problems with SMB and FTP, it is clearly a bridge problem.
As this problem happens even when bridge bypassed with direct cable, problem is between router and laptop.
Router appears fine.
Laptop kinda seems culprit.... Lots of software, malwarebytes, antiransmware, antivirus, firewall...
Gee, need a clear mind from above to shine some light.
Thanks for your time and intention.OMV6-TESTING.pdf
LATER EDIT - It was from the SMB, I presume, since when I placed the same setup directly wired to the router and used NFS shares, the speed got to 108/112 MB/s write/read.
Thanks.
