Hi there,
I've been running FreeNAS without a problem for almost 2 years now, 6x3TB in RaidZ2. I run FreeNAS 9.3 with a couple of jails, including Plex and Transmission. A few weeks ago, I suddenly noticed that file transfers from and to the NAS started going slower, and Plex started acting 'sluggish' with the dashboard loading extremely slow and a long wait time before opening video files.
No noticeable changes in hardware or software took place, so I have no clue what's wrong. However, under the 'Reporting' tab I noticed my disk usage increased dramatically around the same time the problems started occuring:
I run SMART tests every night and Scrub once a month.
Is there anything I'm missing? How can I find out what is causing this? And how to fix it?
Thx
