Hello , I hope you doing well.


I'm facing a weird problem , my freenas has a pool with capacity of 23 TB ( only filled with 5 tb of data ) and it gets slow after couple of hours .



Here is the hardware details :





dl 380 g9

ram => 128 (2133 - ddr4)

cpu => Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v3 @ 1.90GHz

storage =>

hdd : 9 * 5.5 T nlSAS ( 7200 rpm )

SSD : LOG , CACHE : ATA MK0400GEYKD ( write intensive )



% zpool list -v

I thought it's about the cache ( it will completely filled and only gets free when I reboot ) so I just removed the cache from the pool but problems still exists .


My hdd is NLSAS seagate ( probably it should gives me 70 mn/s just like the first hours after restart ) but after couple of hours it only reachs 35 mn/s


What is the problem ?

I just don't know what is wrong

My network is 10 GB/s , my hdd is healthy , there is no cpu load , and zfs cache is about 120 gb

Hello.

What HBA/SAS controller are you using? I suspect you are using the internal P420/P440 RAID card, which is not optimal for FreeBSD (which TrueNAS is built on) due to poor driver support, even in "HBA/passthrough mode"

Did you have to configure individual drives in the BIOS for them to be visible in TrueNAS?

I'm using raidz3 of the freenas and I'm on HBA mode so I don't use my raid controller at all for this freenas server

Although my raid controller is

Smart Array P840 Controller

What is the problem you think ?
