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.

If you dont care about permissions, use NFS. If you need protected shares, use SMBv3, force blocking of SMBv1 protocol.

I have a mix of both NFS and SMBv3 shares between NAS, Windows 11, Ubuntu, and MacOS machines. It can be done, not too difficult unless you are trying to mount things weird in proxmox or something.
