I have a FreeNAS box I recently added to my network, everything has been working fine for the most part. Today I noticed something strange, all the lights for activity on my HP Procurve switch where either flashing alot or on solid ( which means there's alot of traffic) as I was trying to figure out what was going on, I loaded Wire Shark on one of my machines and noticed that I was seeing a lot of traffic naming files I was copying. So I went and paused the file copy and all the lights on the switch ports settled down and resumed a normal amount of blinking, I restarted the copy and for a while it acted fine then I started seeing all the activity again. It seemed to be generating something like 10 ~ 30 mbps of traffic to every machine on my network. So I messed around with it some more and I disabled the secondary network interface on the FreeNAS machine and so far, it seems to have stopped. Does anyone have any idea's why having a second interface enabled would be doing this ? I didn't configure any of the special protocols, I just had 2 interfaces enable each with a separate IP address. When this was happening I was coping files from a Windows 7 machine to the FreeNAS box.
The FreeNAS install is less than 2 months old, and the hardware is a slightly dated dual 1366 Socket Supermicro motherboard. I can provide more information if needed.
