Hello,
I bought a NAS (Synology DS220j) and I am very happy with it.
Copying an 500 MB video from Windows 8 to the NAS (all connected with LAN cable) is done with 110 MB/s. Same Computer via WLAN with 60 MB/s.
But my Fedora computer shows only 23 MB/s (LAN cable).
When I login to the NAS using the brower UI the file is copied within 3 or 4 seconds.
After that I tried a Ubuntu 20.04 live installation on SSD drive. There copying that file is done with 80 MB/s (LAN cable)
Can somebody help me?
NAS is connected to router via LAN cable.
Fedora computer is connected to router also with LAN cable.
Network: 1Gbit/s
Please use “simple english” so I can understand it
This is my smb.conf (/etc/samba/smb.conf):
Zusammenfassung
# See smb.conf.example for a more detailed config file or
# read the smb.conf manpage.
# Run 'testparm' to verify the config is correct after
# you modified it.
#
# Note:
# SMB1 is disabled by default. This means clients without support for SMB2 or
# SMB3 are no longer able to connect to smbd (by default).

The cause of the problem might be unrelated to network protocol, e.g. it can be kernel/driver-specific.
That’s why to isolate the issue, you need to properly measure peak and average performance.
It it possible to use other protocols like SFTP?
It typically works with the same credentials as SSH.
And GIO/GVFS should provide seamless workflow for both SMB and SFTP.
SFTP is an up-to-date secure protocol that is typically served by the same service as SSH.
FTP is an old unencrypted protocol which may have issues traversing NAT.
Although it should not be a problem as long as you use it inside a LAN.
