I'm having an issue with a production FreeNAS box where when first attempting to click on the CIFS share using Windows Explorer (Windows 7 and 8), Explorer just hangs for 15-30 seconds, then all subsequent connections are fine. Transfers seem snappy, and everything else seems to work OK. It's just that initial connection (once every hour or two it happens). It's driving us all nuts. This doesn't happen on our Windows server CIFS shares.
I saw the "green bar of death" fix on the internets, where you make sure everything in your NAS folders is "Customized" to "General" status (so it won't rebuild thumbnails on the whole share every time you connect). That doesn't seem to make any difference.
The HDD's are on "Always On," so it's not a HDD standby issue. I have 32GB of RAM in the box (total ZFS pool size is 6TB). The pool has plenty of space. I have one NIC card in the machine on the corporate subnet, so it's not a link aggregation issue (another scenario I read about with this issue).
Message log doesn't have any hints either.
FreeNAS version is 9.1.1.-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35)
Thanks for any leads.
