(SOLVED) iperf speed at 2.5GbE but SMB is stuck at Gigabit

Featured Replies

When I run a speed test to the server I can't get the full 2.5GbE but when I run a file transfer it caps out at 129MB/sec even if I am copying from the cache drive. If I transfer to or from an NVME on the server to the cache drive on the server I get the full speed. My Desktop PC drive has two SSD drives and transfers between them exceed 500MB/sec. I attached some pictures. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Here is the diagnostics log. Any help would be much appreciated. The funny thing is, I remember when I first started testing this out I was getting the full 2.5gb transfer speed.

So I tried to see if it was maybe just a limit imposed by one file but transferring two at the same time cuts it in half instead of using the whole 2.5gb

Oddly enough when two computers are accessing the network it saturates the full 2.5gb but either one of them alone does not. All of these have 2.5gb nics on a 2.5gb switch.

Run an iperf single stream test to check lan bandwidth.

Hey thanks for the help. Here is the iperf test.

iperf looks OK, if you haven't yet try copying from a disk share instead of user share.

I could be wrong but isn't that what I was doing in the first post?

By the screenshot I can't tell if that's a disk share or user share, you can name them whatever you want.

On second though pool names can't have spaces, so that must be a user share, try it on the disk share, you can enable disk shares on Settings -> Global Share Settings

Tried copying from the disk share and got the same results. 129-130 MB/sec

Do you know this Guide: SMB Performance Tuning

I was checking out that guide and none of that seemed to work. The weird thing is, if I do a transfer from two separate computers I can saturate the full 2.5gb link on the server. However, if I do a transfer from just one desktop I am stuck at 129-130MB/sec.

Well I think I figured it out. Must be a bug in the new 6.9 beta builds. I forgot I had updated to that. I was on Beta 30, updated all the way to RC1 and had the same issue. Reverted back to 6.8.3 and transfer speeds are flying now. How would I go about reporting this bug?

Were  you able to figure this out in the latest 6.9 stable releases?
