Hi,
I am not sure where this thread should be so let me know if I should move it somewhere else. It kind of fits into a few different categories.
The system spec's are as follows:
Hp Proliant dl385 g7 server
64gigs of ram
24 amd cpu cores at 2.1ghz
32gb lexar flash drive for FreeNAS os
LSI hba controller for the drives
8-1tb drives set up in raid-z2
Smart data says the drives are all good
4 gigabit nic's setup in a load balance aggregation
I have been fighting with FreeNAS for over a week now.
Ill see if I can remember everything.
I originally had FreeNAS 11.0-U4 installed and it was working great. I saw that there were some updates, so I made my first mistake and I installed the updates which updated it to 11.1.release.
After that, I started having timeout issues when coping files to my shares, copying From the shares never has any problems even now.
I reinstalled completely to 11.0-U4 and restored the volume. But the connection issues continue. So I reinstalled to 11.1.release and the connection issues continue. I thought it might be a problem with windows, so I tried copying files from ubuntu to the share and it has the same problem, it pops up saying the connection timed out.
When copying from windows to the share, the copy speed slows down until it stops then I get a error with error code 0x8007003b
When copying from ubuntu to the share, the copy speed also slows down until it stops and ubuntu pops up with a window saying the connection timed out.
So after all that I copied all my files off the nas, and reinstalled it again, this time wiping the drives in the process in case it was something with them.
But the connection issues continue and now I have new problems. The volume is not compressing anything... lz4 is enabled and de-duplication is on (I figure there should be plenty of resources for dedup, cpu usage is between 20-40% when copying to)
I copied everything back to one share and it is showing that its using 920GB, the uncompressed file size for that share is 966GB this same share was between 600-700GB(I don't remember the exact number) before I made my first mistake of updating freenas. The compression ratio for the whole volume is 1.01x and I know it was over 1.10x before. I am not sure if compression isn't working, or if dedup isn't working, or both...
I think my bigger problem is the connection issues. Compression doesn't matter if I can't get the files to copy over... Although they might be connected.
Does anyone have any insight into whats going on here?
Thank you in advance
