GUI (ZFS related) performance issues ?

[johngillespie]

Hi,

Whenever I create a ZFS volume or additional ZFS dataset I get terrible performance from the web interface. The web page just sits there with the "please wait" message forever (it never end) but if I click on the close button whatever it was supposed to do is done.

Is there a known bug that could explain this ?

All the other parts of the web GUI work fine.

This system is still in its testing stages so I decided to start over in case I'd done something to my pool or the FreeNAS system. I reinstalled from scratch and wiped all the drives in the ZFS pool before rebuilding a pool.

Same result.
The only thing I've changed is to add the vmxnet3 module.

Yes, this installation of FreeNAS is running in a VM that I installed myself using the ISO.
I have a M1015 HBA in passthrough mode connected to a SuperMicro SAS Expander using 12 x 4TB WD RED drives with 2 extra SSDs acting as a ZIL and L2ARC. The VM has 32GB of RAM assigned to it.

It is the only VM running on the host for the time being.

Any ideas ?

BTW, I'm using Google Chrome but just tried with Internet Explorer ==> same result.

When I edit ZFS' settings (eg: compression) and click on the save button that works immediately.
Looks as if this issue only occurs when I try to add a volume or dataset.
