802.11n dongles will cure that problem which appears with 16GB streams, right? :)

Hey guys,

I'm not getting it, why a N dongle would work. As arris69 stated cifs as a 25 MBit limitations respectivly a 12 MBit limiations when using Wifi.
When using the readahead feature you are basciscally reducing the data rate peaks. On the other hands this means that the average Bitrate can never be above those 12 MBit when using wifi.
Am I right?

How does one actually implement the readahead feature?

Best regards
Matthias

Thank's!
Well, I'm gonna get N anyway.
However, it sounds very interesting what you are doing. I just hope, it won't be to hard to get it run for amateurs like me.

Great news, that it seems to work.

Unfortunately, I've never dealt with the SamyGo extensions.
I prefer mounting my samba shares via SamyGO.sh at startup. Is there a way to get the readahead running via SamyGO.sh?
