Currently I opened volume manager.
Gave it a name, clicked encryption, dragged the box to only include two drives, and selected mirror.
After it was created I assigned it a password using the key button at the bottom.
Dedup is disabled by default with lz4 compression.
Under Services -> FTP I changed the path to be /mnt/small
allow local user login and allow transfer resumption then clicked ok
I then create a user mike with a group mike
I change the dataset permissions to have rwe for group mike
I then create a CIFS share from Sharing ->CIFS with the path /mnt/small
I deleted the array and turned off the default lz4 compression and things still hang.
Networking is a basic home network. I have comcast service via a surfboard 6121, connected to a tplink archer c9. Both the freenas box and the computer I'm testing the connection to are hardwired with cat6 cabling.
Shouldn't have any lag. I'm going to re-image the box with a fresh iso.
To make sure something screwy didn't happen in the download I'm using
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201601181840.iso which has the proper hash of 7c3f194cf3870b6a98ab91c907a054b444723be217760cf3adb0ba876c4a61b3 as confirmed from the website and a python sha256 hash.
I reset factory defaults, formatted the usb freenas was installed on, reinstalled from the iso burned to a dvd plugged in via usb, reconfigured, same issue.
I connected via filezilla ftp on my mabook pro and copied a 2.2gb file over and the transfer hanged. This is in addition to the hanging I'm getting on my windows desktop with a different file.
