Hey guys! I've been benchmarking my FreeNAS device and everything seems fantastic
I was wondering though what are my limiting factors for network performance?
SPECS____________
FreeNAS 8.0.2 64 bit
CPU - e350
NIC - Realtek 8111E
RAM - 8GB
ZFS VOLUME - (5xHD204UI - RAIDZ1) + (40GB X25V - L2ARC)
(Remote System) Ubuntu Server 11.10 64bit
CPU - e350
NIC - Realtek 8111E
RAM - 8GB
(Switch)
TRENDnet 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Standard Switch
_______________________________
Local Benchmark (Ram > ZFS Volume)
write - 260MB/s
read - 300MB/s
Networked Benchmark (Ram > Switch > ZFS Volume) - Ubuntu Webserver mounts FreeNAS NFS share
write - 65MB/s = 520Mb/s
read - 80MB/s = 640Mb/s
_______________________________
Why am I not gettng full Gigabit speeds ( 125MB/s=1Gb/s ) when I have gigabit nics and a gigabit switch?
My possiblilites are..
*Realtek 8111E NIC under FreeBSD 8.0.2
*Realtek 8111E NIC under Ubuntu 11.10
*Gigabit Switch
*NFS Mount Options
Things I might try with your recommendations..
*Better Gigabit Switch
*NFS mount options
*Intel PCI NIC for my FreeNAS box ( PWLA8391GT? )
*Intel PCI-e x4 NIC for my Ubuntu box (don't want to have to use this slot though...)
Thanks!
