I have a setup that seems to be giving me trouble. Things have been fantastic for some time. Only recently have I had issues with latency and I'm not sure where to begin. Regardless if I'm using sshfs or samba, it can take upwards of 30~60 seconds before a folder will finally open. I started off with a round of 8 3TB drives in RaidZ1, then added another round of 8 3TB drives in RaidZ1 and used it to expand the current pool. I was down to about 200GB of free space when things started getting wonky. I added another 8 4TB drives in RaidZ1 and used it to expand the pool. Performance remained spotty and I figured that things were getting bad because I was running out of space. So then I decided to upgrade from 8.3.1 to 9.2.1.3. Now I have some issues with smb but performance is still spotty even over sshfs.I'm fairly unfamiliar with FreeBSD but I am comfortable with Linux. Where can I start viewing logs and determine if it's the network adapter, the drive controllers, smb, smart, or something else? Does anyone have a suggestion that would help me improve performance? I have a separate plex server that scans this file server over smb and it will sometimes scan quickly and sometimes it will choke over and over. Specs below.
Asus F2A85-M/CSM

32GB RAM
16 x 3TB

Another disc controller to make up for the 1 missing sata port the mobo has only 7
Appreciate any suggestions as I would like to make sure my baby is running like a top.
