Hello guys!
Around half a year ago I set up one of my old computers with FreeNAS (I've been running freenas 1 year prior on another system). The build is not the best pure freenas build, but sometimes you have to make something out of what you have laying around.
So, I built this NAS to act as a archive storage for my RED/media footage and media projects. It only runs at 1gbit link, so working from it isn't something I consider as of now. However, I have a annoying problem while transferring files to the NAS.
Let's say I grab one project folder, which contains around 600gb and avarage RED file is around ~3-4gigs I can start transfer, everything looks great. After a certain amount of time (can be 10 min, can be 1 hour, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all, but it almost always do) I get a error message on my computer something around these lines: "A network error occured, Please try again". The transfer drops, goes from ~100mb/s to nothing. When I click retry, it starts where it left off, like nothing ever happend, with a big chance of popping back up after some time.
I think it's filling up somekind of cache or I've just missed out something in the config. I tried searching for the issue but I couldn't find anything relevant. It's annoying since I usually do this by night.
Could it be hardware limited as in too little ram etc?
The specs:
OS Version:
FreeNAS-11.2-U5
(Build Date: Jun 24, 2019 18:41)
Processor:
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor (4 cores)
Memory:
14 GiB
HostName:
freenas.local
Uptime:
12:53AM up 54 days, 18:25, 0 users
FreeNAS runs on a 16GB usb thumbdrive from an USB interface.
Network card: TP-link TG-3468
Four different type of disks (yes i know that is not the best thing) put up in ZFS Pool to create "one drive". Creating pr now 6TB of storage.
Reason I come up with this now, is that I have 50tb of new disks (all the same brand, sizing, rpm etcetc) that I want to put to use, and I want to actually use my NAS in a better way then I do now.
If a fix is to slow the transfer rate or something, I'm kindof OK with that, but I have 10gbit link in mind before this year is done.
Regarding redundency questions: All projects and footage is also on external drives, so the NAS is really a 2nd backup/archive.
If I haven't provided enough system info or info in general, would be cool if someone told me what you need and how to get it. I'll provide screenshots when this happens next time.
Best regards and thanks in advance =)
