I recently installed TrueNAS as a vitrual machine on Proxmox on my home server.
The server is a 12-core Core i7 with 32GB of DDR3 RAM (picked it up from my workplace...)
On that machine, my TrueNAS VM gets 8GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores to work with.
There are 3 ZFS pools, and each pool has 1 HDD of 6-8TB and some smb shares on the pools' datasets.
There is also an Ubuntu VM installed under Proxmox on that same machine. That Ubuntu mounts some of the shares from TrueNAS for services and such,
and those shares are also mounted as network drives on my Windows machine where I do my work.
Here comes the strange part...
If I copy a large file from the network drive to my Windows local drive, it copies smoothly at peak network bandwidth (1Gbit) but a couple of times throughout the process, it randomly freezes for about 10 seconds, the speed goes down and the TrueNAS VM halts too. Then it unfreezes and continues to copy.
This doesn't happen on the Ubuntu VM, only on my Windows machine.
I would really appreciate if anyone had any shape of idea for why this might be happening??
Thanks in advance!
