Hi list, I have two FreeBSD boxes (both based on SuperMicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD motherboard, with 32GB RAM, 1 CPU :Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v2)

900 parent interface: lagg0 Both boxes are connected to the same switch (HP 1910-48G) I need to transfer around 10 TB of data from storage1 to storage2 I obeserve that during copying, only one NIC (instead of all 4) is used. Boxes are not stressed during copying What's more, apart from having 1 NIC saturated (transfer around 120 MB/s), I observe transfer rate on level of 70-80 MB/s I haven't changed any kernel configuration, nor sysctl's - am I missing sth ?
