Hi everyone,
I've spent the better part of the day reading the forum and gaining ideas for how to solve this (lots of great suggestions from cyberjock). I just built a new FreeNAS server and have been playing around with different configurations before migrating. I am having much trouble with transfer speeds on my new setup- average 4-7 MB/s transfer rate for CIFS shares over the network read and write.
Interestingly, I installed Windows 7 on this box earlier today just for fun and created a share- transfer speeds over the network were around 55 MB/s.
I am using a MSI 890GXM-G65 board, AMD FX-6100, 8GB memory (more on the way, had issues with TigerDirect order) and the onboard Realtek 8111DL.
This is my ifconfig output:
Results of dd tests:
And finally, results of iperf test from a wired Windows client:
I've tested with several cat5e and cat6 cables and haven't seen any improvement. I've also tested with different clients... I've ensured that the clients are also connected at gigabit speeds.
I am hoping someone may be able to suggest more things I can try to narrow down the source of the problem. I'm at a loss currently and am ready to begin pulling my hair out.
Thanks guys!
