Setting up my Banana Pro OMV server. I'll likely use it for Fast Storage without redundancy of media files. I am debating on how to do the shares, in the review you mentioned FTP over Samba for speed, but NFS also seems to be an option from my reading. NFS could take advantage of the dual core of the CPU whereas it seems Samba/CIFS only uses a single core. Has anyone tested the two? I am aware my Windows PCs would need an NFS config as well but it may be worth it for the speed. Thanks, Jim
Add#2 - what does the storage / flash memory setting do? Should I activate it?
Fstab (/etc/fstab) needs to be changed manually. Following these steps to change:
Login as root locally or via ssh
Execute the following command: nano /etc/fstab
Add noatime and nodiratime to root options. See before and after example lines:
BEFORE:UUID=ccd327d4-a1ed-4fd2-b356-3b492c6f6c34 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1AFTER:UUID=ccd327d4-a1ed-4fd2-b356-3b492c6f6c34 / ext4 noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Comment out the swap partition. See before and after example lines (only need to add a # to beginning of the line):
BEFORE:UUID=a3c989d8-e12b-41d3-b021-098155d6b21b none swap sw 0 0AFTER:#UUID=a3c989d8-e12b-41d3-b021-098155d6b21b none swap sw 0 0
#2
I'm not really sure but I think that option is for if you installed omv on a USB key or SD card the flash option extends the life of the SD card / media.

About NFS, you can get a client for Windows, however I highly doubt you will reach the speeds you get with FTP. I have meant to benchmark NFS when time allows, my issue was getting accurate speed readings with Windows so I'll probably just use Linux.
Doesn't OMV let you create NFS shares in its interface?

Yea it does, thats a reassuring thread, I doubt ill have a need to do anything about it. It does allow you to create shares, will try it over the next few days and update with any speed tests i do. jim
My speeds are not good. I have tried a usb 3.0 stick and a 1tb HDD that on other machines can copy 130mbyte per second hooked to usb or sata. I get about 15mb read speed and 3-8mb write speed. I have tried different power supplies for the hard drive and I have even tried without the hard drive and just the usb stick. It seems as if there is some configuration error resulting in this? the same router and connection gives me 100mb/sec to another server.
I can access the drive 20MB/sec but 20MB/sec 20MB/sec but 20MB/sec but only write 7MB/sec. Its 7MB/sec. 7MB/sec. Its 7MB/sec. Its on a gigabit ethernet connection. Any ideas for slow write speed?
@jimandroidpc check out the benchmarks the maximum read speed I managed was 47 MB/s over FTP from an ext4 formatted SATA drive on the LeMaker Banana Pi. If you are using SAMBA, NTFS or a different Banana Pi version then that could explain the difference in speed.
I ended up trying a new ethernet cable that was Cat 6 and got 35mb/sec up & down to another computer hooked to 1gbit ethernet. I dont think the old cable was bad - it would at 1gbit on other pc's but maybe the banana pi/pro is sensitive. I have seen some other posts with similar complaints.
