Rsync slow as heck for everyone else???

Chris, can you try rsync with a smaller backup set, just to see if the performance characteristic changes?

I'm performing a set right now of *three* larger files totally 40MB. I am getting a throughput of 26-28 kB/s as shown using the "--progress --stats" option on rsync.

You already have the logs, but for those playing along at home. ;)

Firmware: RAIDiator™ v3.00c1-p2 [1.00a025]
Memory: 512 MB [2.5-3-3-7]

Just curious if you get the same slowness with the 256MB stock memory. Please keep in mind that not all memory is compatible with the NV.

I'll gladly try it, but I put the memory in while troubleshooting other performance issues and it made a noticeable difference.

Tested... Throughput is identical.

I just loaded Kubuntu in a VMWare on my windows desktop and got over 4MB/sec without compression and 400KB/sec with. Is there a reason why FreeBSD 6.1 would have a problem with the NAS rsyncd?

I haven't played with FreeBSD for a number of years so I couldn't tell you why you see the difference. How about going from FreeBSD to Kubuntu?

Approximately 5-6 MB/sec with compression on and 7-8MB/sec with it off using kubuntu as the source and FreeBSD as the destination. Only difference here is its not using an rsyncd, but its the same test boxes.
