I'm having trouble with my TrueNAS Installation. It has historically been a Freenas (... back in the days of FreeNAS 11), which worked wonderful for the last years. With freeNAS 11 I've managed to copy and read easily around 90-100mb/s from and to the NAS on SMB, AFP, or RSYNC.

However, I've noted that as of lately, no matter what I do, I can't seem to achieve those speeds anymore but instead am limited to 4-11mb/s. I've searched around the forum, but unlike most others both read and writes are slow (and non of the there-mentioned solutions seemed to help).

Since it's slow on RSYNC as well as SMB or AFP, I think I can rule these as culprits out. So this lead me to two conclusions: Harddrive failure or networking problem.

However, it seems to be none of these two options - iperf3 shows the full gigabit connection speed, so it likely is not a networking issue. Harddrive SMART Values look fine, do a periodic selftest (and complete them successfully without errors), so I decided to remove one drive from the pool and readd it again. The result had been a resilvering tasks with 2.4TB of data, which completed in about 9 hours, leading to an average of 73mb/s when resilvering, so I think it's safe to rule that one too out.

Does anyone have a clue, what could possibly be any other culprit?

My system specs are as follows:
Motherboard: Gigabyte H87-HD3
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 v3 @ 3.30GH
RAM: 4*8GB DDR3 -> 32GB total
HDD: 2* 4TB WD RED (Mirrored)

Systemload is usually pretty idle, as this is my personal NAS device, nothing with lots of users or something.

.. small update:

Code:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/Storage/NAS/test.bs bs=1M count=5000
5000+0 records in
5000+0 records out
5242880000 bytes transferred in 37.831240 secs (138585995 bytes/sec)


so dd returns 138mb/s write speed on the dataset - just why am I not able to get these speeds over any of the sharing services like SMB oder RSYNC over a wired connection? :-(

OK; this topic can be closed. Turns out it's a faulty cable or switch, as I'm no longer able to reproduce gigabit networking speed. Guess it's not the NAS to blame.

What is your rsync managing... perhaps it's bound up in metadata.

You could consider a metadata only L2ARC setup to see if that helps.

L2ARC impact on rsync performance for largely dormant data

I've been doing some more testing and the evidence suggests that using a L2ARC with a metadata only flag has a potential substantial positive impact on rsync performance over AFP. For largely dormant data, the combination of L2ARC dedicated to metadata seems to benefit rsync performance a lot...
