Hi all - I've spent the last week searching and trying everything I can find on this, but I'm at a loss at this point. I'm 1.1Tb into a 1.4Tb data transfer and I can't get to the finish line.
I'm trying to copy all of my media onto an external HDD for offsite backup. It made it through the first 1.1Tb without issue before stalling with TeraCopy saying the files are offline. When it happens I lose TrueNAS both through Windows Explorer and through the web interface. The ESXi web interface also stops responding but I don't lose connection to game servers or the pi-hole that I have running in VM's, which I don't understand. I've been running TrueNAS core for about a year now without issue until this. Restarting the machine, TrueNAS, or just reseating the network cable reestablishes the connection.
So far what I've found online are (assuming these are still correct) that TrueNAS doesn't get along with Macs or non-intel NICs. I don't have any macs on my network. The machine does have one built in NIC with a Marvel driver, but the network cables (two for redundancy) were never connected to that one and it's now disabled in the bios. The network cables were connected to one of the Intel NICs but are now split between both of them. (something that I needed to do anyway for redundancy). Also, there's no messages in /var/log/messages as far as I can tell. (I'm definitely a novice and TrueNAS, FreeBSD, and CLI.)
I've tried;
Restarting all machines, including network equipment.
Disabling the non-intel nic that wasn't being used anyway in the BIOS
switch the TrueNAS VM to a new vNIC that's Intel (E1000e) instead of the default VMWare one (VMXNET3)
Moving one connection to the other Intel NIC to rule out bad NIC
Copying to other hard drives and other computers, all fail the same way.
I can copy large amounts of data to TrueNAS and I can copy large amounts of data onto or from the ESXi datastores and other VM's on the same machine. It will stay connected and act normally as long as I don't try to copy files out of TrueNAS, but it almost instantly goes offline again if I try to copy any files off of TrueNAS. If I'm really lucky it will go for a 1-2 Gb before losing the connection, or I'm not and it craps out at 20Mb. It's usually good for ~100-200Mb.
The machine:
R710 w/
ESXi running TrueNAS-12.0-U8 with 16Gb of ram allocated
1 integrated NIC - qlogic netxtreme ii bcm5709 w/ a Marvel driver
2 add-in NICs - both are intel 82576
I think that's everything, the bulk of the troubleshooting was in the first three days, the last three have mostly been researching in-between family and work hours.
Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything. Any/all help is appreciated. Thank you.
