Does anyone have experience with NFS multichannel/multipath?
I have a virtual pfsense box, which the server talks to on a virtual bridge, I then have a 4 port NIC, which my main pc is connected to with 3x 1Gb ethernets.
I can’t seem to get multichannel working with either NFS or SMB, and I have followed this somewhat old guide (can’t find much info on the topic)
SMB should work with most of the recent samba versions.
Usually the server needs multiple interfaces/IPs, reachable from the client over different interfaces.
I’m other words, you need to take care of routing/switching for SMB multipath by yourself.
You can check samba logs (increase verbosity) to see it in action.
I tried this with SMB and having 4 different IPs, 2 per host and it still didn’t work.
What do you mean by take care of routing yourself? Do you have to add some static routes to the IP or something? Obviously pfsense knows each of the IPs and all can access each other
It’s up to the server to advertise additional IPs, and the clients can pick whether they want to use these additional IPs.
See how to increase logging verbosity. https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch12.html
