Very Slow network speeds

[Ray Milyard]

Since the last few FreeNAS updates my network speed has dropped a lot! When copying files now to folders I am getting 10-11 MBs. Before was 90-100 MBs. I haven't changed anything other than upgrade. Any ideas?

This would be hard to know with the small amount of information you have provided.
I can tell you my personal experience since upgrading to 9.3 and all the updates
thus far, my speeds over the network have not changed at all.
You should give details about your hardware and the changes of FreeNAS versions
you have gone through since the issue began. There's probably a hardware issue responsible.

My knowledge with other than basic setup etc is low with comes to FreeBSD. Is there someone logs or something I can provide with this info?

Let's start with your machines hardware specs, paying close attention to NIC for both the FreeNAS machine as well as the client.

I am only using em3 right now. Also my desktop computer has Intel NIC. When copying to my NAS on other system it's fine for speed. Only the FreeNAS box started becoming slow after late few months of updates.

I have 2 jails running:

Media Services IE: Sabnzbd, CP, Sickrage and Transmission @ 10.0.1.101
MySQL for Kodi @ 10.0.1.102

Hardware:

Hostname freenas.local ●Edit
Build FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201506292130
Platform Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31275 @ 3.40GHz
Memory 16082MB

Swap out the network cable.

You might also try connecting the client directly to the server to rule out a switch/port issue.

Is your issue the same across all four ports of the card? Have you tried the other ports?

Haven't tried other ports. Never used them. Guess I can try them later when home.

 

[Ray Milyard]

Ok so I have tried every port and same speeds no matter what I do. Changed cables. Test copy from PC to PC with cables at speed is 100+

Not sure what issue could be. Also have now setup 4 connections as LACP to see if helps and same thing!

 

[gpsguy]

Did you change cables for both the client and the server? I'd take LACP out of the equation for now.

What kind of switch do you have?

I know cables on PC are since I can go from PC to PC with cables. Also going though the HP 2910al-24G Switch (J9145A). I have tried each network port em0-4 and all same slow speeds.
