Hi
I have some FreeNas boxes in my home, but one have an issue that i couldn't identify. In the other FreeNas boxes i don't have this problem.
Is a fresh new bare metal Freenas 9.1 Installation. Network and Storage performance are "good" (see details below) but when i copy files from a Win machine to that particular Freenas Box i can't get more than 12Mbs/s. Other Freenas Boxes don't have this issue.
Hardware:
1) The NIC, first suspect 12Mb/s is typical a 100Mbit connection throughput
2) Storage Performance
3) Client Machine
Test
1) The Nic
2) Storage Performance
3) Client Machine
Thanks

Hardware:
- Motherboard MSI 975x Platinum
- Core 2 Duo
- 8Gb Ram DDR2
- 2x2TB WD SATA Green Drives
- 2x2TB Seagate Barracuda
- Gigabit Ethernet, Intel Nic or Realtek Nic (First try, second try)
1) The NIC, first suspect 12Mb/s is typical a 100Mbit connection throughput
2) Storage Performance
3) Client Machine
Test
1) The Nic
First using the Intel Onboard LAN then using the Realtek Nic.
Checked that the connection was Gigabit, ok. -> 1000baseT <full-duplex>
Code:
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE> ether 00:08:54:a9:4c:03 inet 192.168.1.209 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255 inet6 fe80::208:54ff:fea9:4c03%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active ipfw0: flags=8801<UP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 65536 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
Checked the connection bandwith from client to server with iperf, ok -> aprox 90Mb/s
Client:
Code:

2) Storage Performance
DD test -> aprox 150Mb/s
Code:
[root@server5-pc] /mnt/media7/Juegos# /usr/bin/time -h dd if=XenServer-6.0.0-install-cd.iso of=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=300000 300000+0 records in 300000+0 records out 307200000 bytes transferred in 1.929332 secs (159226093 bytes/sec) 1.93s real 0.06s user 1.86s sys
Scrub Test -> aprox 117Mb/s

3) Client Machine
I use the VMWARE iso as test file, aprox 500Mb. I copied this file file to another Freenas Box and i got aprox 100Mb/s. When i copied the same file from the same client machine to the problematic Freenas Box i got aprox 12Mb/s
Any help?, test? ideas?Thanks
