Server OS

[ChaseB]

I am building a custom nas for my home. I was using rockstor but I am pissed. I built it and sent 3tb of data to it today. It said it would take 30 days to complete at only 1.2 m/s. WTF? I have a 10/1000 network. What are some other options that are free.

 

Thanks

FreeNasd I guess. But I'd diagnose that issue before going though the trouble.

rockstor will work fine. You probably have a 10 speed connection on your network.

 

Run iperf, what speed do you get?

 

What file size

 

Everything but windows is using samba, so the copy speeds will be about the same.

If windows is showing 1.2MB/s then that matches with 10Mb ethernet - ethernet *only* works at 10, 100, or 1000Mb/s. So rather than blaming your server OS, please check and make sure that everything between your computer and server link at 100 or 1000Mbps

It says 1000 like I thought. I run a 1Gb bandwidth cause we have 600 m/s internet.

and your sure all links are 1000. you can easily have one bad connection?

 

Try uinsg iscsi or nfs. Also what file size?

[leadeater]

As mentioned do some testing with iperf to get your true network bandwidth, memory to memory. Once you know what that is you can diagnose further.

 

Also if the majority of the files are small in size transfer speeds will be slow, throughput is a factor of packet/segment size and round trip latency.

 

There is a whole slue of other factors too: send/receive buffers, IP header and checksum offloads, ring sizes, receive side scaling, large send offload etc.

What do you have Rockstor running on you just said you built it but I don't see anything showing hardware specs of what it's running on? What's in between the computer you're transferring the files from and the device running rockstor? Just a single switch? What are you transferring? One large file or a ton of little ones? Were you doing one copy and paste or several at the same time?

To help you, it's good to be more detailed in your replies.

Where do you see the 1gb link speed?

What is your setup? Server/Switch/Router/Clients

Are there other computers that can connect to each other and send at 1gbs?

 

Also you can very quickly boot to a linux distro and do some basic smb testing. Little easier I imagine to do iperf with linux too.
