Hey there folks,
I tried to set up my old mini-atx build with FreeNAS 9.2. It only has an Intel Atom D525 with 4gb RAM but that should be enough for my usecase.
Everything went pretty well but my read/write speed is really bad.
I tried the same setup with linux and aes encryption and got about 9mb/s read/write over samba.
A change from ZFS + Encryption to ZFS and later to UFS had no effect so I figured out it wasn't a problem with CPU or RAM, probably a network issue(?).
I'm really puzzled right now what is causing this poor performance, hope you can help me.
Here are some outputs that might give you a clue:
