I have two XenServers connect to an iSCSI target on FreeNAS using GB Ethernet and when I transfer data to a RAIDZ LUN the network utilization on the first copy goes from 0MB/s to about 80 MB/s and back to 0 MB/s the entire time it is copying an 80GB test file. This copy always completes but subsequent copies always time out until I reboot the NAS. I also use an Openfiler NAS connected to the same XenServers and the iSCSI targets on Openfiler always provide me with a constant 65 to 75MB/s. I have tried swapping the hardware between these two NAS’ and the result is the same.
Any Ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Marc
BTW - CIFS appears to be stable when copying to FreeNAS 8 :)
