Slow speeds caused by GS108T?
Hi.
When i transfer files from my DUO to my PC the speeds around 8-10Mb/sec but sometimes it jumps up to 23-25Mb/sec but only for 10-20 sec. I have a Netgear GS108T switch with default settings. Is there anything I could try setting up in the switch?
Im using cat. 6 cabling
My NIC is set to Full duplex 1000
I have Disable journaling
I allso tried with another PC but its the same.

- dbott67GuideWhat version of firmware are you using? Mine is:
Model Name Hardware Version Boot Version Software Version
GS108T 1.0.0.1 V1.0.0_02 3.0.3
I've also disabled flow control on all ports. I am consistently achieving NAS-to-NAS transfers via NFS at 80+ MB/s. - mcpetercAspirant

Maybe i should try and update the firmware...
GS108T 1.0.0.1 V1.0.0_02 3.0.2 - mcpetercAspirantI disabled flow control on all ports - no change.
I observed that it is only in the start of the file transfer i get speeds of 20-25Mb/sec - dbott67GuideAre you using Jumbo Frames? For some reason, I always got better performance on my NV+ with JF disabled, where as on my Pro, I get better performance.
-Dave - zackiv31Aspirantdbott did you ever get sustained writes to your NV (or NV+) to 20~30mb/sec?
I remember having a long thread a while back with you about NFS and transfer speeds and still to this day im saddened by my more transfer speeds. Not to mention that I've just added 6TB to another machine and need to copy from the machine to the NAS...
It seems my "hiccupping" up/down writes to the NAS never went awway... and for me, Jumbo Frames helped compared to not. Why can't we all just hit the same sweet spot?
And how the heck did you get 80mb+ from NAS to NAS??? I thought it was rated at only 40ish, and you could only get it to ~30? - dbott67GuideUsing NFS, I could get sustained reads in the the 30-35 MB/s range on my NV+ using Ubuntu (writes were slower, but still 15 MB/s). My laptop (which runs Windows) only has a 10/100 NIC, so I've never really been able to do a good CIFS/SMB test.

From my Pro to a different NAS (not the NV+).
UPDATE: I recall seeing this post yesterday: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=26918&p=149926#p149926. I would disable any security software and see if there's a similar problem.
-Dave - zackiv31AspirantWould be helpful but they're on Windows :)
I did read something about this new version (15) of RAIDiator to have options for changing the # of nfsd processes running. Supposedly in small user environments setting it to 1 is acceptable and can help speeds by about 200%.
I'll be waiting for this release to come out and then move on from there. Hopefully NFS worries are alleviated for some of us with this update! - mcpetercAspirantIm not using Jumbo frames. I uninstalled nod32 but that didnt help :(
Maybe i should try to connect directly to the NAS and see what happens - GoggiPAspirantHas anyone found a solution to this issue?
- GoggiPAspirantCurrently I am setting this up to see if I can replicate the read transfer issue. Write appears to be ok. I will update with my findings. :o
