Hey i have built a rpi4 4gb nas with omv, but i am only getting 3mb/s from lan (samba). The weird thing is that when i pause the transfer and resume it, it flies up to 70+mb/s only for a few seconds and then i falls back down to 3-4mb/s. I have a 1TB toshiba usb3.0 drive... Please help me!

OMV5: read/write performance for SMB shares hosted on RPi4

To allow for a comparison of "apples to apples" and answer questions like "read or write rate is only #MB/sec on my hardware".

To allow for a comparison of "apples to apples" and answer questions like "read or write rate is only #MB/sec on my hardware".
Short summary:
- A RPi4 using below SMB 'Extra Options' will max out a 1Gbit/s wired network (common maximum speed in home and office networks)
- SMB 'Extra Options' are platform independent
- performance bottleneck for clients accessing data on the NAS is the network hardware
- best case for wireless network access via WiFi-4/801.11n is for Write ~ 10 MByte/s
