LAN/NIC problem

[tkaiser]

Speeds above 120mb/s follow the law of diminishing returns. Because of other system latencies on most SBC(s) including the pine boards, in over 95% of use cases 100mb/s is more than sufficient in most situations.

It feels almost insane to answer to such weird claims. One last try: if you would start to accept that Raspberries are different (those have problems with networking and overall throughput since their SoCs are crippled!), that Pine64+ is nothing new (SBCs exist for quite a long time now) and that there exist a world outside this pine64 forum here then it really gets easy.

At Armbian we currently support 21 SBC that feature GBit Ethernet (Pine64+ inlcuded). All of those are able to get close to 30 MB/s in NAS mode (GbE network, single disk USB 2.0) or exceed this (GbE network, SATA or RAID). Why should this be different with Pine64+ (of course it's not, @pfeerick demonstrated this to you, this is just common knowledge, everyone knows this, typical NAS boxes come with MIPS, PowerPC or ARM SoCs that are way slower, have less CPU cores and are accompanied by way less RAM but show performance numbers way 'above 120mb/s').

If you don't get 'above 120mb/s' why not thinking about what IS wrong instead of trying to justify bad performance numbers? This specific problem can be cured. Just switch to interactive if ondemand is used and on pine64.pro OS images both network and storage throughput will magically increase a lot (@pfreerick even demonstrated that to you)

Code:

sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils
cpufreq-info
sudo cpufreq-set -g interactive
