Sorry for being vague but I actually tried it with the cifs in zfs option, but I think I will try the samba option now that you mention it. Also is there a way to actually improve the nfs performance specifically? cheers, abs "Peter Brouwer, Principal Storage Architect, Office of the Chief Tec

That is the first thing i checked. Prior to that I was getting somewhere around 1 ~ 5 MB/sec. Thank you though. Dale Ghent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Have you turned on the "Ignore cache flush commands" option on the xraids? You should ensure this is on when using ZFS on them. /dale On Ma

hello all, i have two xraids connect via fibre to a poweredge2950. the 2 xraids are configured with 2 raid5 volumes each, giving me a total of 4 raid5 volumes. these are striped across in zfs. the read and write speeds local to the machine are as expected but i have noticed some performance
