Hi does ZimaOS support SMB Multichannel? I ha have install to networkcard of 10GBe but when i transfer file between ZimaOS to Windows it only use one nic? i have activated smb multichannel in develope mode. but it does not work.
I tested this directly on a ZimaBoard 2.
Even with “Supports multi-channel” enabled in Developer Mode and after a reboot, Samba does not activate SMB Multichannel at runtime. testparm confirms that multichannel is not enabled, so Windows correctly falls back to a single SMB channel and uses one NIC.
In short, your setup is correct and this is the expected behavior at the moment.
Whats solution to that. Wil new update support SMB3 Multichannel?
At the moment there isn’t a workaround to enable SMB3 Multichannel manually in ZimaOS. The current behavior is expected.
Whether SMB3 Multichannel will be fully supported depends on future ZimaOS updates and deeper Samba integration. I suggest keeping an eye on release notes and update announcements, as networking features continue to evolve over time.
For now, using a single 10 GbE connection provides the best and most stable performance.
