RN314 + OS X #24929185

I can connect and write files to the NAS fine from Windows machines.
I can connect and write files VERY SLOWLY to the NAS from OS X machines.
I can connect and write files to the NAS fine from a Windows VM on the OS X machine.

If I attempt to transfer the same 80GB file to the NAS (AFP, SMB, or CIFS):
- Windows ~ 109MB/s transfer speed
- MB Pro - ~ <100KB/s transfer speed
- Windows VM on the MB Pro - ~109MB/s transfer speed

The incompatibility is between OS X and the NAS. I can run the same copy on a Windows VM on the Mac and get comparable speeds to a standalone windows box. I've attempted the "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0" setting and that made no difference.

Any ideas?
