I think we are looking at some sorta SMB2 bug. I’m running a clean install of Windows 7 SP1
I went as far as wiping the drive clean AGAIN and using the debrick script to install a FRESH copy of 02.32.05-044 and still got the same slow speeds
One thing that sticks out to me in the graphs is the fairly flat heads on the graphs on the MBL running 02.32.05-044
It’s almost like the speed is capped when you compare it to the 02.11.09-053 graphs which are spikey.
At any rate I went from 44MB/s to 34MB/s transfer rates copying files TO the MBL after this latest firmware
And speeds FROM the MBL to my computer are effected as well
ISSUE RESOLVED!
SSH into the MBL and first backup smb-global.conf located at /etc/samba/smb-global.conf to your computers HDD and then edit /etc/samba/smb-global.conf
REMOVE “max protocol = SMB2” from the bottom of the file and save, then reboot the MBL and enjoy full speed again. Note that this may have adverse effects if running Windows 8
I Feel this more than proves there is a bug somewhere with the MBL SMB2 implementation
See graphs below for proof…
Original test after INITIAL upgrade to 02.32.05-044
First graph is 1gb file from computer to 3TB MBL on 02.11.09-053
Second graph is same file from computer to 1TB MBL on 02.32.05-044
Ok I wiped my 1TB MyBookLive clean and used the debrick script to reinstalled 02.11.09-053 and here are my results. The graphs and speeds are almost dead on now that both MyBookLives are running 02.11.09-053
Test file 1GB
Graph 1 is copying a 1GB file to MBL 3TB - 02.11.09-053
Second graph is same file to MBL 1TB - 02.11.09-053
Same test with a 5GB file
Graph 1 is copying a 5GB file to MBL 3TB - 02.11.09-053
Second graph is same file to MBL 1TB - 02.11.09-053
Gonna upgrade my 1TB MBL to 02.32.05-044 again and retest
Here is the retest after a second upgrade
First graph is 1gb file from computer to 3TB MBL on 02.11.09-053
Second graph is same file from computer to 1TB MBL on 02.32.05-044
Took the 3TB MybookLive off the network and it had no effect on speeds (Still slow on 02.32.05-044)
Graph shows same 1GB file from computer to 1TB MBL on 02.32.05-044
This graph shows a 1GB transfer FROM the MyBookLives to my computer
First graph is 1gb file from 3TB MBL to computer on 02.11.09-053
Second graph is same file from 1TB MBL to computer on 02.32.05-044
This graph shows speeds AFTER making changes to smb-global.conf as noted above. Issue RESOLVED!
