Description of problem: The default configuration of the owfs service currently assumes connection to the service provided by the separate owfs-server package. If owfs service connects to the USB adapter via the on-host owfs-server then performance is extremely slow. In my experience, owfs is best used with a direct connection to a local USB one-wire adapter. The package would be better if the default operation was to connect to a USB adapter by changing /usr/lib/systemd/system/owfs.service to replace: ExecStart=/usr/bin/owfs --server=127.0.0.1 --allow_other /run/owfs with ExecStart=/usr/bin/owfs -u /run/owfs This dramatically improves performance and reliability. Please at the very least add the following comments to the owfs.service file: ## When using owfs on a single USB one-wire adapter use this line: #ExecStart=/usr/bin/owfs -u /run/owfs ## When using owfs on multiple USB one-wire adapters use this line: #ExecStart=/usr/bin/owfs -uall /run/owfs
Upstream agrees that going through owserver is wanted. Especially given owserver recently gained socket activation for systemd. There should be no performance difference with owserver. Have you reported it to owfs upstream?
Hi, there's been 5 month without answer from you. Please retest with latest owfs in F21, if you still see performance problems, please raise them with upstream.
I no longer have capacity or interest to test this.
