I built a NAS with three 750 SATA disks in RAIDZ configuration and I've exported some filesystems using the Solaris kernel CIFS.
Streaming video or even audio from the exported shares to windows xp gives a laggy performance. Seeking the video can take ages, audio (playing mp3 with winamp from the cifs share) stops from time to time and also the video playback lags and pauses from time to time. The videos work just fine when I play them from my local computer, or stream them from another windows computer via CIFS. I've searched this forums and found some other users reporting same problems, but not any good answers. I've tested network performance with iperf, which reports network speed to be about 50 Mt/sec (1Gbps network, so it should work much faster). This http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=232250𸬺 posting suggests trying to set zfetch_block_cap to 16..32, but I didn't found any ways how to set it. Any ideas? How I could improve my NAS to allow me to stream HD video from it? - Juho Mäkinen This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
