I have a lab, which I on occasion have a 10G network available; handy when I want to move files around and for iSCSI when I want my lab to be active, but power and heat hungry when I don't. Most of time I have my lab turned off and rely on 1g wired as a result.
I have the following under advanced options to enable multi-channel.
server min protocol = SMB3
server multi channel support = yes
aio read size = 1
aio write size = 1
This seems to work well in that I get the added links and it does spread the load across them, but it seems that it's capped at 3g aggregate. If I turn off the 1G link binding on the TrueNAS box, I get at times near 10G speeds out of both NICs.
With WIndows Server instead of TrueNAS, it seems a bit more intelligent in that it will detect those 10G connections and prefer them over the 1G connection; leaving the 1G connection idle. I'm also using a WIndows client, FWIW.
Just wondering if there's something I can implement in a config file that can help make this better.
