# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
#   wins support = no

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
;   wins server = w.x.y.z

# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
  dns proxy = no

#### Networking ####

# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
;   interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0

# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the

# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
;   bind interfaces only = yes


#### Debugging/Accounting ####

# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
  log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).
  max log size = 1000

# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
#   syslog only = no

# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.
  syslog = 0

# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
  panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d


####### Authentication #######

# Server role. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are "standalone server", "member server", "classic primary
# domain controller", "classic backup domain controller", "active
# directory domain controller".
#
# Most people will want "standalone sever" or "member server".
# Running as "active directory domain controller" will require first
# running "samba-tool domain provision" to wipe databases and create a
# new domain.
  server role = standalone server

# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using.  
#   passdb backend = tdbsam

#   obey pam restrictions = yes

# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
#   unix password sync = yes

# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for

########## Domains ###########

# The following setting only takes effect if 'domain logons' is set
# It specifies the script to run during logon. The script must be stored
# in the [netlogon] share
# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention

# This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR
# RPC pipe.  The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix
# password; please adapt to your needs

Ok, just checked - the issue is not with the R64 OMVserver, instead there is something wrong with SMB client on my Linux Mint 18.2 desktop PC. On Win10 I'm getting normal transfer speeds. 

Which leads me to this question: @stuartiannaylor what OS are you running on your desktop PC ?

Strangely Win10 for SMB accessing a share on the Rock64 but just a straight samba setup on Ayufan 16.04 minimal if I remember rightly.
I will run through all the tests again this week sometime.

Try the OMV image and see what speeds you get.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter

I am using Ayufan Artful Minimal. I have tried Ayufan Jessie Minimal and Stretch as well. No issue with Samba.

Ayufan Xenial Arm64 minimal seems to suck for me.

Just tried the DietPi image from Win10 SSD to Ramdisk Rock64 Share and got near Theoretical max on 1Gbs (114MBs).

Impressed with the DietPi image for quick setup of a whole range of software and services.

820Mb took approx 8 secs to copy.

Hijacking the thread Big Grin

I'm on stretch-mate-rock64-0.5.15-136-20171222-arm64 default "ondemand" CPU governor
1gb link MikroTik routerboard + D-Link 1gb switch.
2x Win 10 1gb link on the other side.

Initially my Rock64 managed to work 114MB/s up and 114MB/s down by using eMMC NAND with Samba.
It was 114MB/s up and 63MB/s down over USB HDD.

Something happened, I don't know why, but now it's max 63MB/s up and spikes between 30MB/s and 90MB/s down via NAND. Yes, actually NAND write/download speed is way better than read/upload speed.
USB gone spiking 50MB/s ~ 63MB/s read/upload and 13MB/s ~18MB/s write/download.

During spikes system is like freezing for a second.
I'm suspecting overheating. I've got standard Rock64 recommended radiator and SoC temp 35 ~ 40 when iddle and 52 ~60 degrees when copying over SMB. It happens on 2 different Win 10 1GB LAN speed.
Copying between laptops via SMB share is stable 114MB/s.

I'm going to buy aluminium 2x 20x20x10 heatsink for CPU and GPU + 1x 14z14x6 heatsink for eMMC + 3M thermal adhesive tape and will check any improvement.

I have tried reflashing clean system already.

Any ideas beside heating problem?
Should I try different Linux distribution?

Main purpose of my Rock64 is SMB media server for 4K streaming so fast SMB is priority.

Checked NFS already, and for Windows 10, NFS speed is slower way slower than SMB.

You're not the only one. Someone can transfer via samba at speeds above 80MB/s, others have performance similar to yours.

This is the result of my last test.
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...1#pid35291

I too noticed lower performance via NFS.

Weird thing is, it worked just all fine the first day.
Debian arm64 - worked fine.
Ubuntu - speed dropped (because of armhf?)
Back to Debian arm64 - worked fine.
Played with Debian for couple days and spotted speed dropped.

Tried unplugging all cables except for power and LAN.
Reflashed clean system.
If it was USB only, I'd blame slow HDD but it happens on NAND also.
I just hope it's overheating problem and bigger heat sink will help. *fingers crossed*

Hey guys! I'm trying to troubleshoot why my speed on OMV is so unbearably slow

I'm doing 1-3mbps over wifi, and I can't begin to think why it's so slow, especially after seeing so many messages with the slowest speed being at least 14mbps

My setup- 
Rock64 1GB with jessie-openmediavault-rock64-0.5.15-136-armhf.img installed on an SD card
I have an external USB 3.0 HDD plugged into a powered USB 3.0 hub
I've configured SMB/CIFS, and can't do NFS because of my operating system (Windows 8.1)

If I can get speeds even close what you all have (I'd honestly even be happy with 30mbps at this point), that'd make my day

Thanks for the help!

Wooow man, you are touching very fragile point in here.
Wi-Fi has numerous conditions to work on acceptable level even on professional equipment.

First of all quality of your router, cards, device/antena position, power consumption, drivers, neighbours etc.
Couple practical advises from router perspective / N standard usage:
- put your router as high as possible
- find free/less crowded chanel (you can use some software on your phone) - feel free to test every chanel from 1 to 13 - whatever gives you good connection.
- enable 40mhz wide bandwidth (you are literally enabling 2nd chanel so if your client supports it, you are enabling twice faster connection) and make sure your client has it also enabled as well as any power saving features disabled (decreased speed for less power consumption)
- Do not ever use TKIP or TKIP+AES encryption (use AES only) for password as TKIP messes N-standard speed.

Post your hardware (router, clients, how they are connected etc.).
