Troubleshooting • Re: Pi5 hanging when transfering large files to NAS

I also can't see a memory leak go undetected by those who test for such in the kernel. Could it be a protocol incompatibility with the Synology NAS? The fact that the Pi 4 seems fine is mysterious as is the fact that both Pi 5's lock up.
First of all I have just run some tests that I should have run a few days back. As I have said I tested file transfer from a Pi4 running Bullseye without any problems. As the page file size is 4K I have rerun the tests to ensure I was trying with enough file transfers. Today I have transferred over 120GB without issue.

The telling test was when I moved the Bookworm SD to the Pi 4 (with the 4k page size). Each time I managed to move a single 10GB file but the system hung every time I tried to move a second file.

From this we can conclude there is not, as I had originally supposed a NVME problem, as it also occurs when only a SD card is involved. As the problem can also be seen on a Pi 4 it is not a Pi5 problem. This leaves us with Bookworm and the NAS. Suggesting there is a change in the handling of CIFS data transfers, in Bookworm, which triggers a problem. I must admit my thought is to agree with the possibility of a memory leak but obviously an obscure one. Otherwise it would have been discovered by others.
Testing Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm in the Pi 4 was definitely worthwhile. That combined with the x86 report on this thread
not exactly a RPi item, but very consistent with the subject.
makes me wonder whether something actually went wrong with Bookworm upstream.

At this point the lockup seems more serious than it initially appeared. Maybe posting the output of

# testparm -s

as suggested when
I have been following this and one thing I haven't seen is the output of:

Code:

testparm -s
From the rpi
is the next step.

Another thought is to avoid the Synology and set up one of the Pi computers as a samba server. I'm not sure if it would be more or less interesting if Pi to Pi transfers worked or not.
