[LinusTechTips]

Just a small clarification about the SMB Multichannel settings. We asked the TrueNAS folks about it, and they explained that in the current version of SMB/samba in TrueNAS core, SMB Multichannel is still considered "experimental" and is therefore not a recommended configuration. The Linux version of TrueNAS, "Scale", should support SMB Multichannel by default once it matures into a stable release.

[Hobbles_]

These server videos are always so incredibly interesting to me, even though they're some of the videos furthest from what I'll ever experience

[JaccovanSchaik]

"We're going Linux baby!" - Goes BSD.

[beardedjb]

Jake used to get ribbed by the comments all the time, but he seems to be super knowledgeable in this stuff. It's nice to see him be an expert in a field.

[frostail]

I love how in the last couple of years the technical discussions in the videos have become much more advanced and in-depth

[NavySealk]

Linus, its like every engineer in racing has told: "If you give your driver 100hp more they mention not noticing it, but if you take 10 away they complain the car is undriveable!"

[ajhieb]

It never ceases to amaze me that Linus has mad a career out of documenting his career.

[thehighwayman]

I must admit, "Post" Corona bearded Linus with that out of bed hairdo goes better with Linux. Also, looking forward to the inevitable Canadian wood axe reviews. To quote 2minutepapers. What a time to be alive!

[harmvzon]

I really like it that Jake shines when he's knows his stuff. He's also good in explaining. And he tries to dumb it down (as far as it goes in this sort of videos)

[KangoV]

I used to work for a certain cinema sound company. We were setting up a real time rendering cluster for digital cinema. What we found is that by moving from SMB to NFS we got greater throughput. We also hit the same caching issue with Windows. Linux was used as we could not solve that issue. Also, the read/write latency of SMB is around 40% worse than NFS. Not sure that would make a difference in your use case. But would make a worthwhile test.

[mikewilliams]

Jake: "I've done a little testing on this"
Also Jake: *explains every single setting and how they differed between different states during testing*
This is not a "little bit of testing" my man, this is proper testing.

[Seicara]

I miss this style of video. this felt like a true to old LTT video

[redDevi]

My heart skipped a beat when Linus nearly dropped the bloody server.

[stevenjlovelace]

Linus: "As you can see, it's not the weekend."

LTT: Drops video on a Sunday.

[awlabrador]

As someone who came from BSD, I must say that BSD pre-dates Linux by a whole hell of a lot. It’s more correct to say that Linux is Unix-like.

[nogoat]

TrueNAS : I fear no man. But that guy.

*stares at Linus*

He scares me.

[amshermansen]

It's kind of funny to see how Jake and Linus roles have completely reversed since the earlier server videos. Jake used to be all over the place, a true joker. Now he's the serious one sighing at Linus.

[crt]

I love how there is still disagreement over whether to call it "new new whonnock" or "Whonnock 3"

[djrixxard]

Linus has really built an enterprise here. Haven't been watching him and I didn't realize what sort of operation he was running. Good for him!

[Pratalax]

The heroic effort of making Linus audible over those servers
also i love how long this "newnew whonnock/whonnock 3" thing has been going on
good god what is that hat ed
