I wanted to test this out for a wile to make sure. But it's so slow senting files to it. Seems like getting files is good.

I started my timming it on a 178 MB video file sending to it over my LAN. It took just over 30 min!

Rebooted it and did one more 178 MB video file and same takes a long time.

Will the log show what's wrong or how can this be fixed?

Here is a copy of it's "Device Details:" on it's network.htm page.

Code:
eth0: Unknown PHY transceiver found at address 1.
eth0: Using transceiver found at address 1 as default
eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0x2000, IRQ 19, 00:1c:c0:56:93:92.

Maybe that will help to know what's wrong.

Some ideas to test:

Have a look in syslog to see if IRQ is not used by something else.

Try changing the place (PCI connection) of the lan card.

Try another lan card.

How are the computers connected to the LAN (switch, cross cable, ... ?)

It's on the built in Ethernet. 10/100. I had Ubuntu server running on it before NASlite because before the last upgrade NASLite did not work on this motherboard. A intel D201GLY2 Mini-ITX. No Problums with it running Ubuntu server. It was fast send or getting data.

It's all set up just like it was too. To install the new NASlite-2. I tested with another hard drive. The hard drive is on the out side of the Mini-ITX case with a SATA cable. So it was easy. It worked so I installed NASLite on the main drive the Ubuntu was on. Used a USB CD rom drive to install it. So I never unpluged any thing but the SATA cable. So it's the same set up.

I am looking at the log. Will just paste parts in here I think that my help.

I hope this helps. Maybe it could be some BIOS setting?

Try and disable PnP in the BIOS to allow redistribution of IRQs. 30min for 170M file is way off so something is not set right. You may also want to disable unnecessary items just to make sure there are no conflicts. Shouldn't be with the new kernel, but then again, hardware comes in many flavors.

I could not find any plug and play in the BIOS. But I turned all off I could. All ready have Audio off. Only thing I left on was Ethernet and USB. I my not need the USB on.

I don't know what else to change in the BIOS. I tested out about a 170M mpg video started to send it to my NASLite-2. Then the same video file I started to send it to a Ubuntu server I have to test them. Can see how it could be way faster with this one pic.

I don't know. Maybe a newer linux kernel. When I do a uname -a command on that Ubuntu server I tested sending the same file to it shows this:

Code:
Linux small 2.6.27-9-server #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:53:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux


Maybe on M2 you can have a newer kernal. If that's what's wrong. The Ubuntu one is on intel Mini-ITX too. But not the same modle.

I named NASlite green because it don't take a lot of power. My Ubuntu server I named small because it's on a Mini-ITX.

I hope some one will know why it's so slow in getting data. Should I just send the hole log file?

Well I guess it don't matter any way. It take more time to fix this then me filling up the hole hard drive. At lest it sends it back fast.

It my be good to find out what's wrong if it happends to a lot of others.
