From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How's your experience with samba shares on Linux? (lemmy.world)

I have a samba share running on my server (just an Intel N100 Mini PC). It's running Fedora Atomic and my desktop is also running Fedora Atomic.

While it's good enough to watch videos on, reliability when it comes to uploading files to it has been very poor. The connection ends up timing out after a few minutes of uploading.

I found that using rsync to upload files to it has been a lot more reliable.

Rsync will always be faster than SMB. NFS will be faster than both other options. It's a protocol thing. You should tune your SMB config properly though, as there are tweaks that can benefit throughput greatly.
