Performance halved at a stroke (ReadyNAS Duo, 4.1.8) ...
In a busy few weeks, my little ReadyNAS Duo's performance seems to have halved at a stroke. The problem seems to be a consequence of upgrading to RAIDiator 4.1.8 (release) and performing a full facto...
What protocols are you guys using? Du you experience any difference between AFP/CIFS/NFS? I did a quick test (on OS X Snow Leopard) and copied one large file:
AFP
Read: ~15 Mb/s
Write: ~6 Mb/s
CIFS
Read: ~15 Mb/s
Write: ~15 Mb/s
NFS
Read: ~12 Mb/s (going up and down more than the others)
Write: ~12 Mb/s (very stable)
Settings:
Jumbo frames: disabled (my hackint0sh doesn't cope with jumbo frames very well, will try later with my MacBook)
Complete journaling: disabled
Journaling: enabled
Fast CIFS writing: enabled
Computer and NAS connected on a 1 Gbit network.
I browsed through the logs and I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary (no errors or daemon-resets etc.). I have 2 WD drives of 1 TB each and I did a full factory reset with 4.1.7 about 2 weeks before updating to 4.1.8. When you guys tested your speeds you didn't have BitTorrent running or anything? At least with the Duo, I've noticed that this can affect performance.
