Hello,
I am using armbian now for some time as a smb server on my Orange Pi 3. It's working but I am not really happy with the performance. I only get write speeds up to 30-40 MB/s.
On netdata I saw that the cpu utilization is very unstable. The writing speed on the hdd is also not constant and oscillating like the cpu utilization.
Does anybody have a clue why I have this oscillating cpu utilization and the low samba performance?
Are there any tweaks to improve the performance?
Short infos about the used system
newest armbian version
all devices connected over Gigabit LAN
2,5" USB 3.0 HDD connected on the blue USB port of the orange pi 3
HDD currently formatted as NTFS, but I already tried ext4 which made no improvement
Best Regards
Stephan
