Samba Performance
You can tweak the performance for your device. edit the /tmpfs/tmp/smb.conf (SSHD & SYSUSER Module)
1. create a measure environment
eg a frequently used application that takes up to 10s to start or a bunch of files you access in daily life (compiler)
2. take the time of the default config
use a clock or if you have some tools the cpu-graph on win5.0 does a good job
3. edit the /tmpfs/tmp/smb.conf (SSHD & SYSUSER Module)
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=4096 oplocks = yes
4. reload samba
root@127.0.0.1:~# /etc/init.d/rc.samba restart
5. take the time with the new config
6. make different settings to SO_RCVBUF & SO_SNDBUF and repeat step 3-5
this values depend on what you do with what files.
Results
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=32768 SO_SNDBUF=32768 oplocks = yes +25% for ~50mb in ~20 files
How can this been made a permantent setup? (thanks)
UPDATED: Firefly mod (2.00.03) does not work with Firmware 2.00.08
Do not use FW 2.00.08 if you are using Firefly Media Server (Version 2.00.03). After I did upgrade to FW 2.00.08 I could not use the Firefly-extension any more (worked very well on 2.00.04)
ERRATA: After a few more tests I did discover, that the system automatically restores the old configuration of my previous installation. Somehow there was anything wrong within the config. After deleting the Backup-File, a reboot and a new installation the system serves up music again.
