Download speed slower than upload speed

Post by macrobug »

Hi All
I'm using Nas4free(9.1.0.1.573) on ECS 915P-A (V3.0) with NIC RTL8110S.

When i copy large file from my PC to the NAS i reach a speed of 45MB/s. When I copy a large file from the NAS to PC i just reach a speed of 4MB/s!

I down samba and ran iperf

Code: Select all

Upload to NAS
iperf.exe -c 192.168.1.77 -P 1 -i 1 -p 5001 -f M -t 10 -w 64K

First try to eliminate cable from equation, change cable by a cat-6 and repeat test, if not works, perhaps you need some tunning:

read : viewtopic.php?f=55&t=206

and start to play with: net.inet.tcp.sendbuf and net.inet.tcp.recvbuf I play with default=64240 , I'll try 64240/2 and 64240*2 , try one a one each time and do test copying a big ISO file From and to NAS, in recv and in send variables, and use best for you.
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)
