Bug #5197
closedWebUI: Shaper Wizard is very slow to configure on Embedded
0%
Description
When walking through the Traffic Shaper Wizard (either option) on Embedded, each individual step takes longer than expected to load the next page after clicking next. Easily 3-5 seconds, possibly more than that.
This appears to be due to the config partition being remounted RW and then back to RO between every single step of the config. Can mitigate by manually mounting RW prior to going though the wizard.
I understand that the RO/RW is due to the desire to keep config RO whenever possible on Embedded, but it seems logical to batch the mount/unmount process when you know a lot of config changes are coming up in spurts due to something like the shaper wizard.
My hardware is i386 but I'd guess this happens on amd64 as well. I'm on a Soekris net6501 and the drive is actually SATA-attached SSD (which one would think would re-mount quickly).
