GoFlex NET mhddfs

[wwenigma]

Hi!

I still use my Goflex Net, and now i reinstalled full system. I tried to build mhddfs stuff, but cant able to do that. Anyone able to build and upload somewhere maybe?

I thinking about Raid0 becouse i have 2 same HDD, but dont know how safe that...

Thank you,

S.

I would recommend mergerfs as an up-to-date and faster alternative to mhddfs
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mergerfs/

Build with makepkg -A

Thank but same problem like here: viewtopic.php?t=13000&p=59236

Wont know how to force older perl...

[moonman]

You already found a solution though, just need to downgrade perl
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'wget http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/packages/p/perl/perl-5.26.2-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U perl-5.26.2-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz')

Then build the package.

FYI: Archlinux ARM Rollback machine exists: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9542

Thank you, builded successfully with your help.

Now i tested the speed of merged partitions, it slowed down to 10MB/s write and 20MB/s read to/from my samba share. Before that i got 30MB/s write and 40MB/s read to/from smb share.

Mounted via fstab:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/mnt/hdd1:/mnt/hdd2 /mnt/hdd fuse.mergerfs defaults,allow_other,use_ino 0 0')

When added direct_io, i got average 27,5MB/s write and 17MB/s read to/from my samba share.

Samba config:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' Netbios Name = NAS
map to guest = Bad User
force user = root
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072
write cache size = 2097152
use sendfile = yes
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
min receivefile size = 16384
getwd cache = true
strict allocate = yes
server multi channel support = yes')

Any hint to speed up the things or that is the max when we use that stuff? That slow read speed is bad.

This is what I use on my x86, not sure if it will make things worse or better on arm:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = srv01
netbios name = srv01
# os level = 65
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
load printers = no
disable spoolss = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = IPTOS_THROUGHPUT SO_KEEPALIVE
deadtime = 30
use sendfile = Yes
write cache size = 262144
min receivefile size = 16384
aio read size = 16384
aio write size = 16384
')

There is a lot of bad or outdated advice out there, especially about the socket options. Otherwise, this is as good as it gets with GoFlex's CPU

[wwenigma]

Yeah, i will try but of course, mergerfs need some cpu too so maybe that is the max.

Thanks again.
