My collection of hints, tips and tricks

Mounting USB drives

  • Slow USB drive performance?
    • Mount with option 'noatime' or 'relatime'
    • Mount without option sync (e.g. keep default async)
    • Auto mount done by OpenElec:
/dev/sda1 on /var/media/Holyhead type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)

Samba server / NAS

  • Slow performance?
    • see 'Slow USB drives' above
    • use Raspbian, etc without GUI to get as much CPU power for file-transfer as possible (OpenELEC or RaspBMC constantly result in about 10-20% CPU load when idle, use top to check!)
    • Try adhusting 'socket options' in (see /etc/samba/smb.conf). I did not yet try this, some websites I found recommend to the disable the 'socket options', some recommend to use the following line:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536

Misc Q&A

  • Q: Why does my Pi restart when hotplugging a USB drive?
  • Q: Does Raspberry support WOL?
A: No: the Ethernet chip is connected via USB ([3])
  • Q: The new password is to short.
A: Try adjusting the PAM settings, see Google search for 'pam password minimum length'
