HORRENDOUSLY bad network performance with ReadyNAS NV+
Yes, I've read the "How to optimize the ReadyNAS performance" guide, yet I really don't think it applies to this case. Something is seriously wrong. The best I can get out of this thing is 1.3MB/s. ...
Hey there...
My router is an Apple Airport Extreme 4th generation, and yes I'm using 802.11n with wide channels. But, that shouldn't matter as I'm completely wired over what's supposed to be gigabit ethernet. Like I said, bypassing the router and connecting my iMac directly to the ReadyNAS gives me the same 1.3MB/s. And yes, I know what you're thinking, swapping out cat5e cables proved unfruitful.
On a somewhat anecdotal note, months and months ago I was running all my ethernet through a Netgear GS108 gigabit switch and my internet connection was going through a Netgear FVS338 VPN Firewall. All of a sudden, I started having this problem where my internet connection was strangled down to... wait for it... 1.3MB/s. I'd had the thing for years so I chalked it up to it being old. Shortly thereafter the GS108 just stopped working. Off to the electronics recycler we go. I dumped the UPS they had been plugged into as well. I get this feeling like 1.3MB/s is some kind of failsafe mode or something...
Here's what I get out of the logs grepping for all things "block" and all things "size":
dmesg.log:RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 16384K size 1024 blocksize
system.log:Nov 19 23:38:57 Fungo kernel: RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 16384K size 1024 blocksize
volume.log:Block size: 4096
Thanks mdgm! Orangechicken, it's you and me...
