B3 issues

[Puma]

Hello,

I installed my b3 and have the following issues:

1. I see fast file transfer via ssh (mcommander) but from windows xp maximum 8,5 mb/s can this be increased?

2. I tried to mount my western digital netcenter (which worked by my Bubba 2) but I get following:

Code: Select all

  root@b3:/home/.........# mount -t nfs -o rw,udp,nolock,soft,rsize=8192 192.168.101.25:/shares/Main/Backup/ /home/storage/extern/wdc500/backup
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.101.25:/shares/Main/Backup/,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

3. Tried to mount USB drive (NTFS created with WINXP) but b3 will not read, option format only)
On this drive I put all my data. not nice I have to copy all with winxp to b3 and with 8 mb/s instead 40 mb/s or more....

Has someone the answer?? Excito??

Are you sure mount.nfs is there? I'm not sure if nfs-common was installed on B3 from scratch...

We have > 40 MB/s on SAMBA, tested on win xp, vista and 7. Something must be messing somewhere in between, or your XP PC has really poor hardware (Atom?)?

What else is present between your B3 and your XP machine?

Hello All,

I have my B3 now for 2 weeks, and i can copy files between Win7 and bubba at speeds >40mB/sec

So the improvement is huge...

I don't think you are talking about the same thing
the OP was using encrypted SSH to transfer, and johannes was using unencrypted SMB. The difference in speed may be explained by the CPU load on the encryption process

The part of the "option format only" I do not understand.It seems the OP mistakes he web interface that gives the format option (under disk info) for the limit of possibilities. Try and go to the mount point that is indicated in the web interface and you should find your files there.

Ubi, thanks for clearing things up, I obviously didn't read the post well. Your performance sounds about right when it comes to ssh, since this is encrypted communication.

Use any of the less heavy protocols to increase transfer speeds: SMB, HTTP, FTP etc.

[ryz]

I read the original post to mean that transfer through ssh is okay but transfer with samba is slow.

[johannes]

Ryz, you ar right, read a third time and now I am back again. I take back my last post, something has to be wrong in your setup.

Hello,

1. The disc (external via USB) formatted under windos XP as NTFS could not be mounted in the webinterface. Only possible was formatting. Mounting was unable.

2. My setup Windows XP pro machine:
gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6
Core™ 2 Quad Q9550 (4x 2833 MHz) Intel 775 2833BOX1333
4 GB DDR2-800 Kit (4096 MB) 800-555 KHX6400D2K2 Hyper
Zalman ZM500-HP 500W ATX22

near my bubba a NetGear ProSafe 8x 10/100/1000 switch
From this switch a CAT 5 cable to my attic to my next NETGEAR 5x 10/100 switch on this switch my WINXP computer is direct connected.

Maybe my NETGEAR 5x 10/100 isn't fast enough.


3. I still cannot mount my WDNETCENTER with command:

/home/.........# mount -t nfs -o rw,udp,nolock,soft,rsize=8192 192.168.101.25:/shares/Main/Backup/ /home/storage/extern/wdc500/backup

With my Bubba 2 this worked.

Can you get the netcenter to show its shares using the showmount command?
