but the thought crossed my mind. lol Even tho I now have a 1GB network |
| 5 |
card, it's still really slow. It shows up as a 1GB connection on both my |
| 6 |
Gentoo machine and the NAS machine. This is a example of the speeds I'm |
| 7 |
seeing. Just snippets. |

When I use iftop, it shows it isn't doing anywhere near the speed it |
| 17 |
should, maybe 1/4th or so. I'd expect at least double or triple that |
| 18 |
speed. In all honesty, I'd think the hard drive would be the limiting |
| 19 |
factor. Even on my Gentoo rig I only get about 50 to 60MBs/sec for |
| 20 |
encrypted drives. I think the encryption slows that down. When copying |
| 21 |
from a plain drive to a plain drive, I get 100MBs/sec or so. |

Maybe it is something I'm not aware of. It is a older rig so maybe it |
| 26 |
isn't SATA's fastest version, maybe even the original or something. I |
| 27 |
can't find anything in lspci or dmesg so not real sure where to look on |
| 28 |
BSD. |

To what end Dale? Aren't you painting yourself into a corner with a system |
| 37 |
you don't really want to run? Wipe the machine and start over from scratch |
| 38 |
with Gentoo. |

From my vantage point you don't provide enough information for me to make |
| 41 |
an educated guess. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
1) Is your data coming off the host machine able to transfer to other |
| 44 |
machines at 1Gb/S type speeds? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
2) Can data coming off of your NAS transfer to other machines at 1G/S type |
| 47 |
speeds? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
3) How are the two machines connected? If they are going through a router |
| 50 |
or hub, do you know that hub doesn't limit throughput? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
4) Is anything else happening on the network? Video flowing around while |
| 53 |
people are watching TV or something? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
5) CPU horsepower isn't the only potential bottleneck. Are your disks in |
| 56 |
the NAS operating slowly? Are you running out of memory? |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Have you considered running something like iperf? |
