[Samba] ODP: Primary DC migration / upgrade

[Ingo Asche]

What also may be an interesting solution:
I have moved the root partitions of my Raspi DCs to an iSCSI LUN on my 
Synology NAS.

For my Raspi 4 I get the following values from hdparm:
hdparm -tT --direct /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
  Timing O_DIRECT cached reads:   210 MB in  2.02 seconds = 104.19 MB/sec
  Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 268 MB in  3.01 seconds =  88.99 
MB/secRegards
