dear all

i created CIFS share to freenas and am trying to copy data from my mac to the share dataset but is too slow and freeze many times until it finish.
i tried to have the same hostname as netbios e.x ''nas'' but the change is minor.
the transfer is going through cat5e cable and not wi-fi.

am using freenas 8.2 and mountain lion as source. and gigabit ethernet on both .

I wouldn't even bother with CIFS + OSX. NFS is a lot more performant for a variety of reasons.
