Hi! I use NAS system to store VDR data. Speed of network between HTPC and NAS is over 700 Mbit/s. However reading and writing to RAID5 is only 20MB/s at peak and about 10MB/s average. Normally everything is fine, but when there is one or more noad running, reading/writing data to that same NAS. I start to get those Oct 18 13:13:33 htpc vdr: [11827] ERROR: 610 ring buffer overflows (114557 bytes dropped) Oct 18 13:13:36 htpc vdr: [11827] ERROR: 15292 ring buffer overflows (2874896 bytes dropped) Oct 18 13:13:37 htpc vdr: [11827] ERROR: 10946 ring buffer overflows (2057848 bytes dropped) Oct 18 13:13:37 htpc vdr: [11827] ERROR: 14786 ring buffer overflows (2779768 bytes dropped)
OK, I can stop using noad... But is there way to allocate "enought" memory to ring buffer, so it would not suffer when noad is running?!? My machine have 3 Gigs of memory, so I could "allocate" even 1 Gig to that ring buffer.
