Samba server slow - laggy video in high bit rate scenes

[erdem_ua]

What is RAW transmission speed of the your network setup (without FileSystems)? Do you measure it? I think it's useful for identify problem.

And how can I messure this...? But, I as I told before, there is no issue with my network. I can play HD BluRay files from one computer to antoher (via shared folders). Also DLNA has no problem with playing MKV files (unfortunelly fast forward doesn't work). Only Samba have problems with playing does files.

EDIT:
Beside, EVERYONE that has WLAN and using Samba in SamyGo have (so far) this problem. Of course it depends on the file. But, those with high bitrates and 1080p resolution have pretty good chance to lag as hell.

may you find some informations there

you also can try to change mount options in SamyGO/etc/init.d/04_04_samba.init
like:

Code: Select all

M_OPTS="$PERM,user=${USER},password=${PASSWD}"

to:

Code: Select all

M_OPTS="$PERM,user=${USER},password=${PASSWD},rsize=130048,nobrl"

and add module parameter like:

Code: Select all

insmod $SYSROOT/lib/modules/cifs.ko CIFSMaxBufSize=0x130048 cifs_min_rcv=0x64 cifs_min_small=0x256 cifs_max_pending=0x256

I wasn't sure where to put module code, so right now, it is looking like that:

around line 75 in 04_04_samba.init

Code: Select all

case $1 in
        start)
        insmod $SYSROOT/lib/modules/cifs.ko
        get_servers
        get_shares

change to:

Code: Select all

case $1 in
        start)
        # may module is already loaded?
        rmmod cifs
        insmod $SYSROOT/lib/modules/cifs.ko CIFSMaxBufSize=0x130048 cifs_min_rcv=0x64 cifs_min_small=0x256 cifs_max_pending=0x256
        get_servers
        get_shares

No change at all. Do you have more ideas...?
