I have recently purchased Netgear ReadyNAS Pro 4 to use as an all-round storage. Everything is working fine, but I am getting disappointed with the transfer speeds. On CIFS or iSCSI reads/writes I onl...
Thank you for all your suggestions. I did my homework :), sifted through the forums here and did some tests. I've read through the very informative topic Struggling With Low Speeds < 15MBps Over Gigabit in this forum and tested my connections with the ping command as mentioned in there. I have updated drivers for the Intel Gigabit NIC and played with the settings. But everything seems to indicate that the Cisco router does not correctly relay jumbo packets. I've searched through its administration interface and found no mention of jumbo frames or any setting that might be linked to it. :( If someone had a clue how to enable jumbo packets on this router, let me know please. :)
The good news is that the performance significantly increased once I disabled jumbo packets on the ReadyNAS Pro. Now I get something like 60-70 MB/s transfer rates on reads/writes, which is a huge improvement and seems reasonable. Once again, thanks all contributors to this resourceful and informative forum.
P.S. Yes, Enable Write Cache and Disable Full Data Journaling options were enabled in Frontview.
