Give jails more power?

[74kumi]

Backstory... I have a jail for the plugin syncthing, I have 2 servers both with about 2.5-3Tb of files one running Syncthing in vm and one running it in a jail the vm seems to take only about 60 seconds to scan the entire directory where as the jail is estimating 8 hours for the same archive. Is there a way to give the jail more power/cpu/ram/processes whatever so this is faster?

Please indicate your FreeNAS build version as well as your hardware specs.

The system is a HP DL180 G6 with 2 E5645 2.4GHz 24gb ram raid card is a lsi sas 9211-8i in IT 7-3tb drives 2 ssds one cache and one logs i can max out the gig network. Its running FreeNAS-11.0-U4 (54848d13b). I have a similar issue with another server and jail running something else. I like the jails idea and don't want to move to vms.

Jails typically have access to all of the hosts resources (CPU, Memory, DiskIO) unless they are specifically limited via rctl, which is disabled by default on FreeNAS.

What OS are you running in your VM? Linux, I'd assume. It could be an issue with the FBSD vs Linux versions of Syncthing and also how they access the filesystem (ext4 vs ZFS).
