Slow network speed to SMB/NFS. Wget Fails

harvestmoon88 · 4 May 2020 22:02

Hello

I am having buffering issue when playing videos from my SMB/NFS Share. I have done few tests to troubleshoot and hope you guys could help me out!

playback from USB drive is fine.
Accessing Files from SMB is slow.
Accessing Files from NFS is slow.
Windows10 access speed to SMB share working fine.
CP command from SMB/NFS share to sd card speed is 27.2 KiB/s
I tried adjusting advancedsettings.xml as recommended.
Tried using LAN/Wifi.
Tried using speedtest-cli. results
Testing download speed…
Download: 92.89 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed…

wget command fails to download. stuck at resolving then connecting. but wget works fine on my other linux boxes.

Can you show us how you mounted the share?
Also post full system logs

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 05:15

Hello

-SMB mount from osmc gui and also from /etc/fstab

-NFS using command
sudo mount -t nfs -o hard,intr 192.168.0.167:/storage/virtual/ /mnt/nfs/

I will attach logs when I reach home. Had to install syslog-ng package.

fzinken · 5 May 2020 05:30

Surely not needed.
Just upload logs with grab-logs -A

Also provide iperf3 results (both directions) between OSMC and your Server

Well here is the problem.
What is the Pi connected to?
Have you tried another cable?

Also I see you are running iptables how does the test look like with all iptables cleared?

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 11:12

PI3 connected to CentOS Linux 7.8.2003
I have tested it with another cable just now. same speed.

I was playing with iptables to allow port 5201.

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo iptables --list
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

fzinken · 5 May 2020 11:17

I mean which hardware? A switch, router,…

Well if you not have configured iptables then no need to allow anything.

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 11:32

Connected to a Dlink router DIR-853/ET

fzinken · 5 May 2020 11:34

Well hard to say.
As a first step would try with Raspbian on another SD Card and see if you get proper iperf3 speeds in both directions there.

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 13:41

Brand new card. the speeds look fine if I do pref on windows to osmc.

Edit:

Swapped with old sd card with plain debian on it. same issue iperf3 speeds

fzinken · 5 May 2020 14:22

That is not “fine” you need to get >90Mbit

Something wrong with either the ethernet port, the cable, the switch port or the negotiation

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 14:49

It’s 10 year old wifi card that I’m currently using haha. Same ftp speed when I transfer small files.

I would say the negotiation since the port works fine but doesn’t get along with centos. How would you go about fixing it?

sam_nazarko · 5 May 2020 18:09

That’s your problem…

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 18:52

you didnt get what I am trying to say! wifi card on windows box (no issue here!). my issue is the slow speed between rpi3 and centos server.

I am not having any issues with windows + rpi speeds or windows + centos speed. my issue is rpi and centos are not getting along (both connected by Ethernet!)

bmillham · 5 May 2020 19:55

So to clarify your setup:

Pi -> CAT5/6 cable -> DLINK -> CAT5/6 cable -> CentOS Server
Windows -> WIFI ---------^

Is that correct?

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 20:07

Yes! the only speed issue I am having is with centos and rpi3. This doesnt seem osmc issue. as I am having the same issue with ubuntu server and plain Debian installation.

dillthedog · 5 May 2020 20:07

Please show us the iperf3 speeds between Windows and CentOS.

Based on the data supplied, my own reading of this thread is that every time the CentOS server is part of a test, the performance is poor.

harvestmoon88 · 5 May 2020 20:14

No. the connect between windows and centos is fine. but currently limited to my old wifi card. I get the same speed if I connect from windows to rpi3 or centos regardless.

iperf Done.

the only issue here is when rpi3 (server) and centos (client). the speed when RPI3(client) centos (server) is 94.5 Mbits/sec.
