At the end, they hook it up to a 10Gbe network and average 8 Gb/s or less or actual bandwidth. Not sure what can be done since SMB is limited to a single thread. Face the same challenge with my setup even with 7200rpm hard drives.
Yeah, Microsoft SMB can do multi-channel without multi-subnet. But Samba I do not believe has ever implemented that. It still requires multiple subnets. Hell, 4.14 came out this year and Multichannel still isn’t on by default. Solutions not relying on an Enterprise Codebase (like NetApp ONTAP), and not Microsoft have a long way to go for feature parity multichannel With Microsoft’s own SMB solution. That would include anyone running UnRAID, or most *NIX and *BSD distros.Linus already did a file transfer using SMB 3.0 multichannel 5 years and 8 months ago.
No multi-subnet requirement.
SMB protocol is from Microsoft. MS was not so keen on sharing, so open source people came up with something that manages to talk that protocol. They call it Samba ...OK. Not familiar with Linux. Thought Samba was same as SMB.
So, found 2 posts regarding samba 4.4 still requires multi-subnet to make multichannel to work on Linux.Yeah, Microsoft SMB can do multi-channel without multi-subnet.
