Okay, I have been using FreeNAS for some time now.
Started with FreeNAS 7 almost 2 years ago and have been using FreeNAS 8 ever since it came out.
The problem is, is that my transfer speeds are quite low, or I am expecting to much from it.
I am currently running: reeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p2-x64
The NAS is build from the following hardware:
- AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
- 16 GB RAM
- 6x WD 2 TB (WD20EARS) in Raidz2
- 4x 1000 MBit Intel Network cards in LACP
Connected through a LACP compatible switch (D-Link DGS-1210-16)
Anyways, I know there are many, many topics relating to bad transfer speeds, but I find it slow. Yesterday it only did about 5 MB/s, after some fooling around and rebooting it did 30 MB/s.
I really have no clue what I should do. I know it was better a past few weeks ago (doing about 50 MB/s or so), but still it seems to me it's on the low side, given the current hardware and connections.
I tested it several times with my game PC, which is really fast enough (and has 2x SSD's in RAID0) and has 2x 1000 MBit connections teamed (dynamic).
I tried transfering files through NFS and CIFS, but both show slow speed.
Maybe I should do some ZFS tweaking? Or could it be something else.
I really have no clue and searching through the many posts on this forum, it didn't provide me with a solution. :(
