Hello:
I'm monitoring my FreeNAS server using Cacti in my workstation. One of the tests Cacti does is ping the server. It just about constantly pings it.
I was noticing that my file transfers were rather jerky. They proceeded at high speed, then paused, then proceeded further, then paused, etc.
Could this have been caused by the pings? I wouldn't think a simple ping would pause a transfer completely. It could also be how my file manager reports file transfer speeds - perhaps I should do proper testing using dd or iozone, but my dd tests were very fast with no pauses. Also my network switch is showing the pauses are actually happening.
I'll retest with the ping disabled.
