DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

well, i have a linksys wrt54gs router/switch which is running 10/100. prefer not to change the hardware.

so, hoping nfs can give me some perfomance boost.

Sorry, i don't quite understand your meaning.

I've read somewhere in the forum that people are getting more than 12MB/s

http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t307-DNS32 … mance.html

I've used teracopy to copy files. it showed me 8-9MB/s. i'm not sure whether it's megabytes or megabits

The point that is being made is that the 8~9MB/sec you are seeing now is the upper limit of your 100 mb/sec network - regardless of what protocol you choose, you cannot transfer data faster than the network will move it.

i dont understand what you are asking for.

8-10 MB/s is the usual transfer rate for 100mbit depending on the used protocol. in theory it is possible that you could improve your current speed by switching to nfs because it has less overhead compared to cifs, but far from significantly.
to improve the performance noticeable you'll have to use gigabit equipment. then you will get around 12-15 MB/s (which is still quiet slow if you want to transfer 1 TB).

On the XP computer, you should be able to see the NFS shares in
My Network Places->Entire Network->NFS Network->Default Lan

thanks Mijzelf, but do i need to do any configuration for unfsd?

thanks ortelsoft, i'm using a laptop, it has a 10/100mb nic if i'm to get a gigabit switch, i'll have to get a usb gigabit nic for my laptop as well
