Can't get through a movie

Was that with a SMB mount, or dd also running on the Syno?

nfs while syno running at same time…here is syno output

I’m gonna have to think about this. The only thing I can think of to try would be running iperf3 and dd at the same time. Maybe run the iperf from one of the other Veros while the dd from the one you’ve been testing from.

One other thought, have you rebooted your router/switch? Has the Syno had any updates lately?

Yes to all basically. Syno gets regular updates. Router has been rebooted recently. This is def a vero issue because things work from other devices. If I have to I will reinstall osmc. Been having issues for months and finally gave up trying to figure it out on my own

ok running iperf on vero4k+ and dd on vero 4k the iperf numbes went from 930mbits/sec to 120mbits/sec for a few seconds and then the vero4k basically froze and the vero4k+ went back to 930mbits/sec

also when the dd starts to copy again it coincides with a drop in iperf to about 130mbits/sec. then dd freezes and iperf goes back to 930mbits/sec

got a pic of it…

Wrote it and then went on for another hour :slight_smile:

Did you enable the samba share on the Synology?
Suggest to try checking with smbclient.

sudo apt install smbclient
smbclient -L 192.168.0.107

@gkron92 Before you go the path trying smb could check wehther NFSv4 is active on your Syno:

You can also check what NFS protocol will be used on a system mounted path, here an example from my system verifying that NFSv4.0 is the protocol both sides negotiated for ’ /mnt/tv_recordings’

So, mount start swith highest NFS protocol version down to lowest and stops once the other side.confirms.

But I see that you’re on 4.9 test kernel … no idea whether this is really stable and might be the reason for such intermittent issues. From the log provided the stream is simply stalled

well I was called a wimp… :grinning:

NFSv4.1 is enabled on my Synology but the domain field is blank. Does that matter?

This is all I see when I try to duplicate what you did to check nfs…

The domain field is optional … but more interesting is what protocol version your Vero really uses with the Synology NAS, see the rest of my previous post.
On the Synology NAS I have set the packet size to 32KB at Files-Services->SMB/AFP/NFS->NFS->Advanced Settings.

If this is all set correct, I’m out of ideas … except the kernel 4.9. But to go back to OSMC release means you have to re-install the device. And if it would figure out afterwards, your bandwidth/network issue has an outer root cause, this re-installation would have been unnecessary.

packet size is set to 8kb for read/write. Change to 32?

in any case

Scroll down the quote block:

when I do the mount -av command nothing happens…just goes back to the prompt…sorry not a linux guy at all just a regular user. do the rest of the commands anyway?

Because you use autofs.
@JimKnopf is using fstab.

Ok. So I need to go back to fstab and then do these commands… :smirk:

I guess there are ways to figure it out with autofs but I am also not sure if that is your problem as you saw actually your whole network coming to a standstill when you did the test with the Vero 4k and the 4k+.

I still suggest to try samba mount as a first step
