I am trying to backup a share I have on a Synology DS1812+ to my Lacie 2big v2. I am using smb to mount the synology share on the Lacie box. I am running rsync on Lacie. My transfer rate is 15-17 MBs. The synology has a specified read rate of 200MBs and the lacie has a write rate in excess of 100MBs. If I try in the other direction, mounting the Lacie share and running rsync on synology, the transfer rate falls to below 1MBs. Same if I try the z option on rsync. top on lacie shows 0-3% idle with the rest being used by 'user' and 'system'. 0% wait though. It appears my 2big is running at full bore. Is there something here I am missing? Are there any adjustments to be made? Is this the best I can hope for? :sob
My drives are SATA3, my network is GB and full duplex, firmware is fvdw 18.2, samba connection is smb2, the smb.conf is the default system generated version, samba is V4, the raid is linear. There is no iperf to test the network connection. The default smb.conf seems to well thought out by the developers. I've run out of ideas. :dontknow
