I have a freenas mini box that is the storage system for all of my media. I have another server that runs nzbdrone and nzbget to download media and store it to the freenas box. I have clients on my network that are watching the media from an nfs share that the freenas box is sharing.
The problem is when the nzb server is moving a file to the freenas box, it saturates the gige port on the freenas box, which causes the clients that are watching media to stutter. Do I understand it correctly that link aggregation will mean the nzb server can saturate one gige port while allowing the media clients to grab data over the other gige port? My switch supports LACP so it should be fairly simple to set up?
