Sorry for the number of posts I've made in the last few days - this is my 3rd different hardware setup this week and each time something has failed on me. I'm tempted to revert back to the old HDD plugged straight into the Pi but the flexibility of a network share is appealing.
So this time I'm running openmediavault on an old-ish laptop (i3 hp probook from about 2010) - a hard drive attached to this contains about 600gb of flacs and the laptop is connected via gigabit ethernet to the router. A raspberry pi 3 running the latest version of Rune is in the next room- only a meter or two away from the router, through a wooden floor, accessing the smb share over the built in wifi chip.
Rune recognises the smb fine, but when attempting to build the library it takes a long time (an hour plus). If I leave it building while I'm out the rpi has inevitably shutdown (or crashed?) on my return. Attempting to listen to any music while it's building is all but impossible.
After a few attempts at rebuilding the library I think it is recognising about 60% of it - most artists are represented but not all their albums are appearing. I can access everything through OSX. Playback seems to be workable but subpar (one or two clicks per track) when playing 44.1k flacs.
Am I just expecting too much from a diy nas working over wifi, or is there some configuration issue at work here?
One further question - I've been using smb exclusively so far - is there any reason to expect NFS to offer better performance?
