gadreel Posted August 7, 2022 Share #4102 Posted August 7, 2022 @pocopico I updated my DS918+ to update-4 but when I ran the postupdate command instead of "The new smallupdate version will be : 7.1-42661-4" I got this "The new smallupdate version will be : 7.1-42661-3" I pressed yes and everything worked well and in DSM I can see "DSM 7.1-42661 Update 4" Is that normal?

flyride Posted August 7, 2022 Share #4105 Posted August 7, 2022 16 hours ago, phone guy said: I have a kind of related question for everybody.... I have a proxmox redpill DS3622 build. Running paravirtual NIC in Proxmox with V9F ext drivers. I also have a PCI passthru Ethernet port, I used one of the intel ports onboard from the server motherboard. Both work fine, the Intel NIC in pci pass thru didn't require any additional ext drivers to work. Each has its own different IP, they are not bonded, so I know which port I am using. I am getting different smb speeds when copying over the network in Windows. Scenario 1: In windows, open network, open icon for DS3622, open temp shared folder, now drag and drop 1.1gb file.. I get a maximum transfer of 60mb/sec (\\ds3622\temp) Scenario 2: Change location in windows explorer to direct ip (\\192.168.1.100\temp) I get 110mb/sec. The proxmox virtual nic is ip 100, and the pci passthru is ip 101 (\\192.168.1.101\temp), same speeds on either direct ip. So if the window shows a direct ip in the location, the speed is nearly doubled. If it show ds3622 its about half speed...? any clue? This is a repeatable experiment. I get similar results from different pcs on the lan, different files, and the results almost always the same, give or take a few mbs/sec There are a bunch of different ways for name resolution to happen. Do you know which is in use for the test? I would control that to the simplest, fastest possible exchange. If you have a small number of clients, define it in the hosts files.

The thing was, if the name was in the destination address bar the speeds were slow, if the IP was in the address bar the speed was fast. Both ip. I'm not 1000% sure which one is the name (ds3622) but I would have to imagine it's 100,because 101 was just added. It's like by using the name in the destination address is the issue, switch to IP for the address makes it nearly twice as fast? I don't see this on genuine sybo boxes, only on my redpill box. I'm not even sure it's a redpill thing? It might just as easily be a windows thing? Having to resolve "ds3622" to an up slowing it down? That's why I asked, I have no clue...

alirz1 Posted August 8, 2022 Share #4112 Posted August 8, 2022 Hi all, Is there a latest sticky page for current status on this project? While i was up to date up till page 99 of this thread, i see thats grown well past that. So instead of having to read another 100 pages. I was just wondering if redpill is still unstable? Im currently running jun's loader on 3617xs, 6.2.x baremetal setup for over 3 years now and hoping that someday i can move up to 7.x and just wondering whats the latest on the redpill project. Is either one or both 7.0, 7.1.x versions unstable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is either one or both 7.0, 7.1.x versions unstable? I guess is the grand scheme of things, redpill will always be considered test software, unstable, not for production use....? But most of us here consider it stable enough for our needs. I have an 8 bay system as my main backup server for my real syno hardware...plus 3 other re-purposed nas boxes now converted to redpill 7.1U3 so.... I would say its rock solid, but YMMV. I know some people run into little problems like getting certain apps to authorize (advanced media extensions comes to mind), which affects HEVC and AAC, but there are work arounds. I remember seeing someone say VMM was giving them issues, but I am not sure.... I would say try it yourself, under your specific needs and you tell us if its ready for prime time in your opinion.

No change, but I was able to take some screen shots to show the speed difference. I swear, I'm not crazy 🤣 I tried to get the address bar in the pictures so you can see the device name vs the IP. The IP transfers faster. Dont know why. I have to assume its a windows issue? But no clue what issue that might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sania-owner Posted August 9, 2022 Share #4123 Posted August 9, 2022 Hi Has anyone tried running Synology DSM 7.1 on Synology DSM 7.1? The idea is to pull up 8 CMS licenses. So far, it turned out to run on Wmware and get 8 additional licenses from the built-in 1622. The bootloader works for me, but at 55% of the DSM installation, the package installation error is written Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
