So, I built a TrueNAS box for the first time, and here's what I'm getting over SMB. This lines up with the general file transfer status I'm seeing in Windows. I'm trying to figure out what I've misconfigured or something
Hardware:
CPU: AMD 2400ge
MOBO: ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0
RAM: 16GB Unbufferred 2400mhz ECC DDR4
HBA: LSI 9207-8 in it mode
NIC: Mellanox X3
HDDS: 6x 4TB WD Red Pro in Z1, lz4 compression
generic 120GB SSD boot drive,
16GB Intel M10 NVME as cache
TrueNAS version: 13.0-Release
Drive is connected with a 2m copper DAC to an Aruba S2500. Both TrueNAS and the switch are reporting 10gbe.
I've tested with and without the cache drive and it doesn't make a difference in any way. I only included it because I had one lying around, and I realize it's probably not doing what I had initially assumed it would do as the RAM is the actual ZFS cache.
While I have a 10gbe NIC in the box, the Windows computer I'm testing with is just using a standard 1gbe. I haven't thrown the X540 in yet, but I do have it. Obviously won't matter right now with the read speeds like that.
My next thought was network speed, and again, with 1gbe on the other end:
I did a quick read test across the array (I didn't turn compression off, but more looking to see if there was something obvious I was missing):
I've tried googling and I'm seeing some issues with the Mellanox NIC in 12, but that seemed to be fixed a few years ago. Even then, the read speeds were nowhere near as low as I'm seeing here. I'm trying think of a hardware issue that would be so asynchronous - why would writing work fine, yet reading be so slow?
Anybody have any idea?
