I've been having an issue with clients accessing shares with a large amount of files, some flat, some with a lot of subdirectories, that all navigate normally and fast from my Windows 7/10 hosts. Any Linux or OSX host seems to have trouble browsing them where it takes an initial 10 seconds to load, anytime they are accessed. They never seem to cache.
I have no L2ARC, and am thinking I might need to give that a try. My current setup is Z2 with six 6TB disks and 32GB or ECC memory. I tried Cyerjock's guide (SMB Auxiliary Parameters) as well as a few other tweaks mentioned on here, but can't seem to improve performance. Is this a limitation with the SMB implementation on OSX and Linux? Do I just need to trim down the amount of files per share? Or share from NFS instead?
