Very slow performance when share folder with many files with apple client

[lbecarelli]

Hello,

i have a FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-p2-x86 (r12686+b770da6)

in Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz with 998MB of RAM.

My problem is that when i share a folder with many files , if i try to browse with (for examples) finder, i must wait many minutes before i recive the content of the folder .

If i do that whit a linux machine the same operation is performed with few seconds.

Thank you for any reply.

Best regards

That's not very much RAM... Is this UFS or ZFS?

What kind of mac is it? Is spotlight indexing the new mount? Are you sharing with AFP or NFS or something else?
