Interesting. Does it matter the interface? The two systems are now running 2.5Ghz USB ethernet dongles.

I found that if I setup a static IP from within OMV-Firstaid, the DNS value does not transfer over to the GUI setup menus.

The reason for using OMV-Firstaid is usually because I fouled something in the static network configuration and usually I am right next to a monitor so I find it handy to just correct my mess-up in OMV-Firstaid. All the settings transfer to the OMV GUI setup except for the DNS. I usually trip over the missing DNS because I can't update the plugins. While it's only an annoyance at this point, early on where the lack of the DNS led to unstable behaviors that led me astray for hours until I figured it out. I think this should be solved so others are not having to figure this out.

Edit - This is on OMV7.

OK I figured out my issue but I don't know the cause or solution.

Whenever I have to reboot OMV7 for a plugin, the network dongle may not always be acknowledged. I have to unplug/replug the dongle and then it's back. It seems like some reset or init is missing after a reboot for the dongle.

Yep, I am running into this too on my OMV7 install. Had to reconfigure three times this morning. Trying to understand why.

I moved one system to OMV7 and it did solve the Realtek dongle driver problem. 2.3 Gbps on iperf3.

BTW, thank you for adding iperf as a plugin to OMV7!

If you only knew how many times I (and others) have been there done that. It didn't yield good results for me.

I've been trying to get ASUS USB-C2500 to work under OMV on two Pi 4 systems for several weeks now. This device is based on same Realtek chip. These dongles work great on Windows and one of my Synology (240 Mbps and made it through a full 16T cloning so I no longer have any concerns over robustness that are written about elsewhere. Under OMV on Debian Bullseye, I can get the system to recognize the interface and it shows a 2.5G capability but it's stuck at half duplex and keeps reverting to the CDC_NCM driver. There are no shortage of people out there with all sorts of try this-do that advice but the results are never full duplex speeds. My next step is to move one box to OMV 7/Bookworm as it's time to play with OMV7 anyway. I am anxious to see if Bookworm has native support for the Realtek chips.

3 MB/s isn't just not normal, it's horrible and I can't see how tweaking SMB settings will help. FYI, My rate is ~115 MB/s with 1G ethernet and 240 MB/s with 2.5G ethernet over SMB with default settings. Maybe I missed it but are you accessing this through WiFi?

You found a way to run it in a container? I'd love to see that.

I did not bother. Read my other message.

OMV does not work in a container. 1GB of ram is not enough to run DSM and OMV anyway.

Interesting. I found instructions on the web to accomplish this but didn't bother because of the pitiful ram size on the DS223. Maybe one can get it loaded but it won't work.

I would look for a DAS that has 2.5" adapters or a simple dock that holds two drives.

I asked this very question about a DS223 and learned one can through SSH and in a container (DSM has container capability.) I ultimately decided not to do it because this model only has 1 Gb of ram. I don't know if the processor plays any role, as long as it has DSM I would think it should work.

This is timely! I noticed the same thing and am playing around with your suggestion and trying different settings. I assume the behavior might change depending on the file sizes that are being moved. I wonder if any tool exists to analyze SMB movement and suggest optimal settings.

That doesn't mean he is from the US. He could have made that observation from dealing with people from the US. Regardless, my point as a US citizen is that "pal" has different meaning depending on how it's used.

Quote from BlueCoffee

what does the "USA term" for pal mean?

Well it can be taken both ways in the Midwest US and it depends on how it's used. We can refer to our friend's as "pals" in a glowing context or when someone upsets us, we can say "look pal, this is the way!" The problem is that most outside of the US probably doesn't understand the meaning when used with different language and tone.

I have no bias either way. I am amused they preloaded the bias in their headline (scrawny intel CPU) only to give a grudging nod to the N100 for all the connectivity at the end. I'm a fan of any micro PC in general. Been following your adventure.

I agree. It almost feels like a phish underway.

Good news for pi lovers.

Raspberry Pi is now manufacturing 70,000 Pi 5s per week, will surge to 90,000 in February

There era of Pi shortages is quickly coming to an end.

I don't think updates will work without DNS.

I use DNS on my local network too since I don't like to remember all the IP addresses and type them in repeatedly.

I've never had any issue with any OMV functions when the DNS was blank. Updates worked fine.
