I'm a bit puzzled as to why our upgraded FreeNAS server performs so poorly.
Hardware: HP DL585 - 32 cores - 256GB RAM (DDR3) - 2x 400GB SSD Intel S3700DC (L2ARC Stripe), 2X HP MAS arrays with 24x 600GB 10K drives, using all "auto tune/auto configure" for our ZFS RAID Z2 groups.
I'm getting about 3.5MB/sec Samba write speeds (?). Our QNAP runs circles around this thing with only 16GB RAM and no SSD caching, as well as fewer processing cores.
Right now I've relegated the FreeNAS to archival duty due to these performance problems.
I've gone through some of the suggested tuning steps found here in the forum, and find that deviating from the "autotune" values either makes no/little difference to worse yet performance.
Was really hoping to outshine a $5000 QNAP with this system. Any ideas?
