I have a FreeNAS unit:
FreeNAS-11.1-U7
GA-Z77X-UD5H Rev 1.1, i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz ~ 32GB (DDR3)
LSI 9211-8i 8-port PCI-E SATA HBA
RAIDZ2: WD60EFRX x 8 [30TB]
RAIDZ HDS724040ALE640 x 2
I am trying to stream video to a media player, and for some reason I get stalls that cause the media player to buffer. The Video is being streamed from the RAIDZ2 Pool (The Second RaidZ Pool is used for backup and is normally "spun down"as it is rarely used. The FreeNAS box is not running any jails or other software and no other tasks are using the network or accessing the FreeNAS, so the load on the machine and network are very very light as this is a home installation, and when we are watching TV.
I don't suspect the "external network" because I have my personal workstation (i5-6500) which is on the same network segment, and I have no problems streaming video to the media player.
I'm not sure if this is an networking issue, or a FreeNAS tuning issue or a network setup issue. Any suggestions as to how I would go about troubleshooting this situation would be much appreciated.
