      Environment: antiX 19.2 Hannie Schaft Live fully upgraded as of today, running on various Thinkpad machines, connected to SMB shares, facilitated via Connectshares. NAS servers are variety of Lenovo IX2, IX2-200 and Seagate GoFlex, although may not be too material as issue is common to all and appears to be possibly the client configuration (antiX).
      Issue:
      Write (to NAS) performance from antiX (not sure it is antiX specific, but just for for the record) is very slow, about 3Mb/sec. In comparison, write performance of the same file from Windows 10 client to the same NAS share is about 10 times faster. Read speed from NAS using antiX is just fine and comparable, so I am questioning just write performance.
      For some reason I think it may not be necessarily antiX specific issue but somehow generic to Debian infrastructure…
      Any ideas of how this can be fixed, so write performance can be made comparable to Windows client?

        a suitable websearch query: debian smb performance slow

        3 links from page one search results containing suggestions:

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Samba#Improve_throughput
        https://superuser.com/questions/713248/home-file-server-using-samba-has-slow-read-and-write-speed
        Howabout try six at least seven of the various suggested tweaks, then report back stating “toward solving the problem, here’s what I have tried…”

          Thanks skidoo. I have run into these searching web. These are primarily about improving read/write performance of Samba server, which is not my case…
          If I was not clear enough, it is antiX as client accessing existing NAS servers, not Samba server that is in need of performance improvement. One might argue that perhaps the issue might still be on NAS servers, but then how come Windows client enjoys fast write performance and Linux very slow.
          Still searching web for some tips relevant to case. Anyway thanks for your care to point me to some resources.
          Nobody having write performance issues using antiX as client writing to NAS? I guess I should assume it is just me…
          On the other hand, if others are experiencing the same and a viable solution was found on client side then I would appreciate if such solution is considered for future default configuration.
          Thanks again and regards…

            man nfsmount.conf
            man mount.nfs
            man nfstat
            man nfsiostat
            SMB or NFS, improvement probably rquires only some simple tweak to the default config parameters (e.g. “wsize”)
