Hi all- appreciate the community here. It's been helpful to me as a lurker during my recent FreeNAS build, however I'm encountering issues with SMB that I haven't been able to google myself through. I have a pretty basic flat home network, and am using my NAS primarily for media storage/Plex streaming initially while I learn the BSD ways of doing things. I flip between a PC and Mac, and my wife uses a Mac exclusively, so I went forward with creating SMB shares for file management. In the process of converting my high fidelity audio library from AIFF to FLAC (due to Gracenote's frustrating incompatibility w/ BSD), I've been doing a bunch of read/writes from my Mac that fail intermittently. After transferring typically 40-60% of the files, it'll pause and timeout. Most of the times, the whole share hangs until I disconnect and reconnect.
I've chased this rabbit at a bunch of layers so far- from trying to limit other operations on the NAS (maybe choking off SMB because it's single-threaded in BSD?) to upgrading other elements of my home network (recently upgraded all of my UTP to cat 6) in case it was a bandwidth issue. The NAS is a recent build with parts I had access to, however components are typically not server-grade. Any recommendations on where to start troubleshooting- whether it's logs on FreeNAS itself or something client-side?
I am far more familiar with Linux than BSD, so if I certainly don't consider myself to be above overlooking something simple. Open to any suggestions.
System Specs:
- FreeNAS 11.2 Release U1
- PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5-9600
- MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte Z390
- RAM: 16 GB G.Skill DDR4-2666
- Storage: Samsung SSD (boot/OS); 4x4TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS drives (RAIDZ2)
