ok can please somebody try this:

stop the ftp-server

/usr/hddapp/etc/rc.d/S91proftpd stop

delete this
rm -rf /var/run/proftpd/

and restart
/usr/hddapp/etc/rc.d/S91proftpd start

is it now faster for you?

I get ~4,5 MB/s

Hi again,

I found the main differense even though I don't know
how to fix it

proftpd on tinky when running with -d 10 -n

does lots of
icybox.local (192.168.10.10[192.168.10.10]) - FS: using system write()

which the orig fw doesn't ...
guess thats the problem

anybody got a clue?

Is it also possible to get old proftpd libs (I know that some
librairies have
been overwritten with latest proftpd version)?
Indeed, I would like to test the full "old proftpd package" on tinky
box.

(By the way, can you the list of new list that are used with the
tinky firmware?
If the porblem is not coming from the binaries, it can come from new
libs...)

Regards !

Hi,

Does someone has the original proftpd binary file ?
I would like to try on my tinky box to see my performances.


Selon philipp Wehrheim <flipstar@xxxxxxx>:

sure

by the way today i visited the kiss webpage the kiss 1600 looks cool
but my question is what exectly can you do with the kissdx
and dos the kiss support upnp(av)?

Hi,


today I did some stacing and compared tinky's and raidsonic's
proftp
work.

when running proftp (the same binary) on tinky it looks like this.

to me it looks like the reads and write proftpd is doing when
executed
on tinky eats up lots of time ....

Im not sure here it comes from ...

Anybody having an idea?

Hi everybody,

So I think Tinky is doing quite well when it comes to download
but is very slow with uploads.

Further more the tinky proftpd has support (modules) for dyndns,
shaper and ctrls (see proftpd -vv) which the 2_3_2-IB-2 has not.

I'll change the RCVBUFSZ to the size of SNDBUFSZ and we
should discuss which modules are really needed for the ftp.

ftp is ok (but was not working out-of-box, beacuse of unknown
directive
in configuration file)

measured on 100MB file with wget: 6.92M/s

further testing gives me slightly better speeds when i
mount the
share
on my linux laptop with cifs instead of smbfs (about 2.9 MB/s)
when accessing from windows, it is the same as with smbfs
(1.7MB/s)

could you guys post your smb.conf you have on your nas ? i
haven't
touched mine yet, but i want a comparision - just to be sure

Selon Julius Loman <lomo@xxxxxxxxxxx>:


Hi everybody

I'm using tinky-2_3_2-mu-02.2 and I've got quite poor
throughtput
via
SMB, only about 1.4MB/sec upload to NAS and about 1.9MB/sec
download.

When doing download/upload operations - top shows me
that smbd
is
eating

~95% cpu and i receive many software interrups (si value
in top
is
~34%).

Do you have such poor throughtput as well or do I have some
shitty
piece of hardware ? (Maybe slower CPU than you ?) I
expected a
lot
more.

FYI - dma is turned on and I didn't measure performance
with
original
firmware, because I've overwritten it with tinky in the
same
hour
as
the

box arrived.
