Before installing this Armbian legacy kernel (3.4.109), I was using a Bananian-based image with OpenMediaVault (the so called BanaNAS image) and was getting regular 30MB/s transfer rates to my Samba shared hard drives (USB and SATA). My PC and Banana are connected through a gigabit switch, and working at 1Gbps.
After installing and configuring the new Armbian image, I notice my transfer rates were now around ~23MB/s which was odd. After trying to change some smb.conf parameters and getting nowhere, I decided to test just the network performance by setting up a simple web server on my PC and doing a wget -O /dev/null http://<my PC-IP>/test.zip of 3Gb. The values were the same. Testing on another PC and Chrome, I got 40MB/s. So clearly my PC was fine but the Banana wasn't.
Today I burned and installed 4 OS images and repeated the test above. I did it right after the initial boot ended without any further updates:
- OpenMediaVault-Bananian 3.4.104: 36.6MB/s
- Bananian 15.08: 36.7MB/s
- Armbian legacy: 25.9MB/s
- Armbian vanilla: 35MB/s
Clearly there is something wrong with this image. However, I have no idea on what to do to find out how to fix it. Are there any configuration I can look up on the Bananian image and compare to yours?
