time to ask for help 
hey everyone ...
I have finished installing ksmbd on my router
And I added custom Permissions for each user
Now the problem I'm running into is this:
The transfer speed on my phone and on Windows is good and acceptable
But browsing speed on Android is great and on Windows 10 is very bad
Especially if the folder contains a lot of photos
Even if I try to see the file properties, Windows freezes for 30 seconds
Disable previews and other Windows Explorer features, where it reads/indexes the files, not only lists them.
From my perspective, Windows 10/11 Explorer has weird/slow file share browsing behaviour in general. Occasionally it will be laggy, when trying to access folders (for unknown reasons). If this happens via network + USB2 + classic spinning disk, this could add up.
Photos from my experience can stack up to the previously mentioned issues:
You could check 2 things:
- try „noatime“ in your OpenWRT file system mount point options
- Does this happen on each browse activity or only once? As Windows10/11 tends to maintain thumbnail cache files for images and videos. Thus reading all such files on first system browse access, to create the thumbnails db. I think, this behavior can be disabled in Windows registry.
but I need to see the previews and the details 
hope you like long coffee breaks then 
or install Irfanview.
I will try it after finishing my exam
Try to help nobody because your help is useless 
That makes you the nobody.
Reality hurts, call the Microsoft helpdesk, your issue's with Windows, not Openwrt.

I don't mind being nobody as long as you admit you're useless 
Hmmm you should reconsider the way you treat people who freely help you. There's no need to be rude.

I don't mean to hurt anyone or underestimate anyone.. I'm just kidding
And he responded to the joke in the same way.. I didn't mind that 
by the way this is not the first time he try flex on me on openwrt forum
You'd use noatime in fstab when you mount your partition/drive.
"The data partition's mount options, e.g. noexec,noatime,nodiratim."
