I have a samba server (running on a pine64) talking (via router via eithernet) to an Android TV box. I also have a laptop on wifi.Most of the time this setup works fine, but every now and then I get samba starting to crawl or stop altogether. This is on both the TV and the laptop. htop on the pine64 does not show any significant cpu load. A restart of smbd fixes the issue, albeit temporarily. Can someone tell me how to debug this or what the issue might be? Any tuning resources might help too. If I don't get anything im close to considering a cronjob that reboots smbd daily.Pine64 runs ubuntu, Android TV box is on 4.1.1 I think, and laptop is Windows 10 with Linux mint rosa VM.
Samba server becomes slow after a while
