Hi guys!
I have a few problems with our fileserver, not really sure where to start adressing the problem. I hope I posted in the correct subforum. I am looking forward to get your input on this issue :)
We are a photography studio and use our freenas server as main filserver.
We transfer our photoshoots from a dedicated machine on to the freenas via cifs. Shoots are between
25 and 60 GB each, all RAW images. Freenas is connected via a gigabit wired connection. We probably do up to 10/12 shoots a day
On top of this, we have photographers and production selecting and editing the images on this machine,
using bridge and photoshop. I would say can have up to 10 people working on this server, editing images,
converting images, selecting or uploading them on the freenas. 95% of all the editing happens with jpgs,
after the RAWs where converted. all happens via cifs shares.
We do have problems with the performance of this machine, slowdowns occur and I am having a hard
time figuring out what it exactly is that causes the problems.
I not sure if we just have too many users/operations going on, or if there is some other problem.
Some detail about the machine.
Freenas Version:
Version FreeNAS-9.2.1.5-RELEASE-x64
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 V2 @ 3.10GHz
Memory 16087MB
Disks 4x 3.0 TB WD RED
Motherboard Intel S1200BTS E98683-352
I am happy to provide more info, whatever you need just let me know who to export it out of the shell. I tried to
export some info on the load that the server faces, but could not find where to export it for example.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
