Hi, first sorry, first post and newbee to truenas scale and fedora.
recently set up a new a new file server/linux iso streaming server and have been happy with it until i used it with windows as a client and got twice the performance.
I now mainly use a Lenovo thinkpad L16 gen 1 (ultra 5, 16 gb) not 100% sure what wificard.
But anyhow when i transfer to my nas i only get about 40 MBps and 51 MBps wired i though i definitely have screwed up something in the nas setup or hardware limitations, but then it hovered around 96 to 110 MBps on wireless on my older windows laptop.
I do think i have set it up as it only allows SMB.
Please help
Edit: for ekstra info i also have had problem with transmisjon and vpn. When i started using vpn on transmisjon it started to discard a huge amount of the data like 10% as invalid data/failed checksum. But moved to qbitorrent and that fixed it.
Need clarification. Are your wireless and wired connection both going through a VPN? Are any of them going through a VPN? Depending on the path that each interface is routed through, the wired connection should be an order of magnitude faster than the wireless connection.
No vpn, completely local.
My NAS is wired but I connect wireless except for the test I got 50MBps on witch was better but still not as good as my windows pc that got around 100 on wireless…
Edit/PS
One more thing I did yesterday to test was booting another newer system I had access to with Ubuntu, same thing there around 37 MBps wirelessly
That is weird. Maybe your system is negotiating a slower link when using samba under GNU/Linux. Is the NAS also hosting an NFS share. If it is, try a test with that. If NFS is faster, then the samba share is either not optimized or the client machines are not optimized for samba.
I personally have my nas hosting nfs shares and samba but I connect with NFS and use samba for guests that may visit.
