Hi all,
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I'm having samba problems with a USB3 drive.
I'm using Merlin 380.59 on RT-AC68U. I have a 750 GB 2.5" drive plugged in using a USB3 enclosure (with a separate power supply) and shared using samba. The drive is formatted to EXT4.
Whenever I copy file to/from the drive (from a Win10 machine), top speed is ~25 MB/s and both router's cores are at ~100%.
I've tried things I found on this forum: disabling the "Reducing USB3 interference" option in the Wireless->Professional settings and reducing "Tx power adjustment" setting for both 2.4 and 5 GHz (and rebooting the router afterwards)
I've tried using a custom samba configuration using "use sendfile = no" with no effect. I'm sure that the custom config was used, since I changed one of the shares as well.
I've attached the generated smb.conf file.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Thank you.
