AFP performace
Posted: 08 Oct 2009, 10:56
Hi all,
I'm a bit concerned of the AFP performance on the Bubba two. I bought the Bubba last week and started using it out-of-the-box. Like other users have reported I got around 2.5-3.0 MB/s when reading/writing larger files to/from the Bubba using AFP.
I guess I could have lived with that kind of performance since my main requirment is to be able to watch 720p movies streamed from the Bubba. (Normal movie= 5GB 120min --> 0.7MB/s). Last night I made an apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade and a reboot. Since then some movies hangs for 1-2s quite often. I can see the same behaviour when copying files from Bubba to my MacBook.
During these test I have had no other activities on the Bubba running. When looking at the top command output I see nothing surprising, smbd is the topmost process and CPU is idle to around 80%.
Any ideas? I think the original SW prior to my apt-gets worked better, but I'm not 100% sure. The really wierd thing is that some movies with almost the same data/timeframe never hangs. I'm 100% sure that it is not the player causing the problems, I can copy the problematic files to my MacBook and play them with no problems.
This is really disappointing.
