Why can't I see my CIFS share?

[Mirfster]

To be honest I am not entirely sure! In the end I just deleted my volumes and shares and then started from scratch again. This time I managed to map my server in Windows and its working. However, I am now having serious speed issues where my mouse is juttering and when I try to copy folders from an external hard drive via Windows to the service it the external hard drive keeps hanging.

How are you copying? "Drag and Drop", Command Line (XCopy or RoboCopy) or another way (WinSCP or 3rd Patry GUI)? For me personally, I prefer "RoboCopy" when coming from a Windows Machine.

Since your mouse is "juttering", I would venture to guess that your machine is really taxed (High CPU Utilization)...

@Mirfster, do you have experience with FreeFileSync and could compare it with RoboCopy (when FreeNAS is either a source or a target)? Thx!

Sorry I have not used FreeFileSync. When I get some time I may give it a whirl and see how it handles on a test machine. For the most part, I try to stay with things that already exist within the OS (like RoboCopy) or have a "Portable" version so I don't have to install.
