Hi, n00b here. I recently built a small FreeNAS for Plexing, and NAS (obviously).
Specs: (Available hardware at the time, yes, I'm on a budget)
MB: ASUS H61-ME Pentium G2030 @ 3.0, 16GB RAM 3x2TB Seagate drives on Raid0 (yes... I know.. I have copies)
NIC is the embedded in the MB. (Realtek); according to GUI system is healthy, drives are also healthy.
System is FreeNAS-9.10.2-U1 (86c7ef5)
Created 3 datasets (Media, Music) and Jails.. for Plex + Transmission
The only real computer that is accessing the shares is a MB Pro late 2015, over WiFi (for the time being); (macOS Sierra) 16GB RAM, 256 SSD.
So far transmission works ok and so does Plex.
I'm trying to add files to iTunes (50,000+ songs) (650Gb-ish (album artworks and other stuff) but AFP is really giving me headaches.
Adding 2-3 albums is fine. iTunes goes fast reading those..but when adding more files it just takes forever to read artworks and eternity to "determine gapless playback information"..
I've seen a dsi_stream_read: len:0, unexpected EOF when I access the shares (first I had created datasets not seeing that I was creating those for UNIX type shares..so I had to copy the information to other proper shares and speeded up a bit)...
Could AFP be the bottleneck for those horrible read/write speeds?
as I type I am trying to add the same files over Swinsian and seems like Swinsian will kick iTunes butt right away.. (I added a few hundred folders last night and iTunes has not completed YET..)
As a n00b with FreeNAS no I have no experience re-building netatalk (saw some posts related to the EOF for afpd) (I can tell you that Aperture kills mounted volumes right away)...
Since creating the build I also created a user for accessing and with a few hiccups in the past I managed to set the right credentials so now I am able to connect to the shares, create folders, etc.
Please, any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.. and please be merciful I am a n00b
