Dear team,

Recently , I was implement Freenas project in my client place. But users compliant , file share very slow performance , when click to open any file in freenas file share means that time show ”not responding” error. I enabled rsync process every 2 hours in initial stage , I analysed when rsync process running time only users faced this not responding issues. So we changed rsync process when user not available in office time only , now rsync process running user not available time only. In my client place more users in domain , some department user placed in workgroup, workgroup user facing very slow performance issues continues still also. Kindly , help to give any suggestion to me.

Note : Before Freenas concept , all user to access windows file share from Data center over the intranet.

Freenas configuration details :

Server no : 2

System model name : Dell PowerEdge T430

Note : Server Placed in LAN

Note : we installed Esxi hypervisor to built virtual platform and above we created Freenas VM.

RAM :16GB

HDD : 1TB *2 = 2TB , 7.2k RPM ( configure RAID 1 , 931 GB available )

Processor : Intel Xeon CPU E5-2609 v3 @ 1.90Ghz

No of cores : 6

Freenas VM details :

vCpu : 4core

RAM : 12GB

HDD :850 GB , [ 50 GB for Freenas OS , 800GB for Storage]

Freenas OS version : Freenas-9.2.1.8 Release x64

Note :

1) I installed 2 server one primany server and second backup server using “rsync process”.

2) Both server VM had same hardware configuration.

I have moved your thread because this isn't a bug report. It's not even appropriate configuration.

Ugh, it appears you virtualized FreeNAS with little or no regard to the recommendations of doing so plastered across this forum. You're going to get degraded performance because of this. Suggest you look at the stickies on how to do FreeNAS visualization correctly.

Your hardware is inadequate to run FreeNAS in a VM. My suggestion is either
1) Ditch the ESXI entirely. Run FreeNAS on bare metal
or
2a) Download a copy of /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf from your FreeNAS server
2b) Ditch the FreeNAS VM. Create a new CentOS VM and install samba. I prefer CentOS 6, but CentOS 7 will be supported longer (if that's an issue). Follow steps here: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetUpSamba.

By the way, you should host your backups on a separate server.

Click on 'system' -> 'advanced' -> 'save debug' and post resulting tar.gz file.

Fine-tuning is something you do once you have an appropriately designed system, which you do not have. The debug file might show a config problem, but my gut feeling is that you will need to make significant changes in your server setup.
