LrC over ethernet
Hi, I’m having issues with speed using servers over ethernet on macs.
The setup is 2.5Gbe straight from the server to different m series macs, I know the speed is capping bc i get the full 280~ megabytes a sec when copying files to the server or to the local drive on different macs.
In LrC I only get about 30 megabytes a sec, when running imports and about 3 or 6 if I’m doing culling.
Things I tried:
- Add mode with no copying files anywhere else
- Catalog is on local drive, as well as cache with 10gb of storage set in preferences
- Previews are set as embedded on initial imports and work well in grid view but on the E view in library get slow after a couple minutes
- If i set standard size previews it gets a bit faster but still slow for culling, compared to when I use local drive for all images
Does anyone else use LrC with servers on offices where many people need to access different folders and files from different dates off the same server and gets good speed while using LrC? Is it normal for LrC to get only 10% of the available speed with this setup? What should I change to get faster culling? Do I need to completely get off LrC and use aftershoot/narrative for good culling times?
Thanks in advance, sorry if I missed any technical details about the setup, just let me know so I can check and update the post.
