Freebsd and 1000Mb/s
I two servers; each having gig(1000Mb/s) card and are connected to a gig switch. The freebsd server is running freenas and is primarily for backup up the windows server. My major concern is that the freebsd box is not pushing gig speeds. When I run ifconfig it knows its connected at 1000baseTX but when I do transfers it does doesn't go over 100baseTX. I've put in my laptop on the same port (which has a gig network card too) and did some network tests and it pushed more than 100baseTX so its not the problem with the network, its the freebsd box. Is there a setting which I can force the nic to transfer at 1000baseTX. The files I'm backing up need to be completed in a short timeframe. Any experts who can shed some light on this? Thanks

As kind of hinted to before,
What kind of hard drives are in these? A 5400 rpm IDE with 2mb cache doesn't stand a chance in hell to run 100mbps continuous write or read, let alone 1000mbps. |

I seem to be able to get 48-50MB/s transfer rates on my 5400 rpm, 40GB ATA drive... unlikely to have a lot of hardware cache.
100Mb/s is 100 Megabits per second, 12.5MB/s. 1000Mb/s is 1 Gigabit per second, 125MB/s. Last edited by BSDfan666; 20th July 2008 at 11:11 PM. |

edit: Just one more ?, have you verified that there are no speed or duplex mis-matches? That will kill through put. Last edited by tad1214; 21st July 2008 at 12:41 AM. |
