I built a small home samba server. It had acceptable network speeds (lower bound for transfer capacity is ~20 MB/s, most likely limited by my WIFI connection).
I can't pinpoint the exact point when it started to become slow, but at the time I did experiments with some rsync configurations where I copied multiple times lots of files to the FreeNAS server (500'000 or more files, 40GB or more).
I played around with this command:
What I found is that the transfer speed is ~3MB/s when the testfile.txt is truncated to 132002 bytes or less and if truncated to 132003 bytes or more it is very slow (~2KB/s)
As far as I remember I didn't change any settings in the web GUI other than creating a pool, creating a number of datasets, users, samba shares, and ACL rules. Also two cronjob SMART test, disabling SMART on standby hard drives, setting the HDD standby time to 60 min, setting the HDD power level to Minimum, setting the HDD acoustic level to as quiet as possible.
I disabled all services, except for SMART and ssh and tried restarting the system. (didn't help)
System is:
I also tried accessing the FreeNAS machine from another computer but it didn't help. What could be the source of this problem?
