Hi Everyone,
I am very new to Freenas and Linux / Unix in general.
That said, I hope I can get some assistance with a particular issue I am experiencing.
I have recently setup Freenas 9.1.0 Beta on a HP Proliant Microserver N40L with 8GB of RAM.
FREENAS runs from a Transcend 8GB flashdrive.
The server contains 2x 2TB Western Digital Black 3'5 Hard Drives.
File System is UFS setup in Mirror mode.
I can access Freenas from either a Mac or Windows but the transfer speeds are horribly slow.
I have tried different windows and Mac machines. I have even tried different network environments.
The following test were conducted using a 100Mbps network environment:
If I run IPERF, I get a very good result:
Client -
bin/iperf.exe -c 10.75.2.22 -P 1 -i 1 -p 5001 -f m -t 10
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 10.75.2.22, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 0.06 MByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[156] local 10.75.2.128 port 60872 connected with 10.75.2.22 port 5001

[156] 9.0-10.0 sec 11.3 MBytes 94.7 Mbits/sec
[156] 0.0-10.0 sec 113 MBytes 94.6 Mbits/sec
Done.
Iperf Server (In this case the Freenas):
[root@freenas ~]# iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 64.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 7] local 10.75.2.22 port 5001 connected with 10.75.2.128 port 60872
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 7] 0.0-10.0 sec 113 MBytes 94.7 Mbits/sec
However, the problem start when I do actual transfers from Mac or Windows.
My average speed is 500Kbps. The fastest I managed to get was 1.3Mbps. Speed fluctuates between 200Kbps and 900Kbps. Sometimes, the link will drop as well.
Notes:
I have tried using different HDD on the Freenas Server. I have tried different Flash Drives for Freenas.
Also previously tried Freenas 8 but with no luck.
I have included 2 files which I am not sure will be relevant or not but hopefully it is a start.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stephan
