Low Transfer Speeds from Pine Samba Server - preimmortal - 05-14-2016

Hi all,

I am using the latest version of longsleep's Ubuntu to set up a samba server.
After setting the server up and accessing the samba server through my desktop, I transferred a large file directly to the SD card.
To test the read speed, I started a transfer from the Pine to my Desktop.
Despite having gigabit ethernet, I seem to only be able to get speeds of 2 MB/s to 5 MB/s.
Any ideas what could be going on here?

Thanks

Could I refer you to this section of the form Ethernet Port, there's a number of topics under discussion there on ethernet port speed. Also what model are you using?

I would start by doing some basic network performance testing, I was luck enough to have a another Linux machine, so I used iperf which has to be installed on both machines. here a guide to using it...

Using the same xenial longsleep image with a fresh samba install
I get consistent read speed of just over 20MB/s. Samba serves files
from the SD card (32 MB Samsung, as recommended by tkaiser).

The write speeds are around 15MB/s.

Check you SD speed , You you Sd read at low speed, Does not matter how fast the ethernet is

I suggest the 400X ones not the cheaper ones
