Right, didn't get the diskless part, never try that. Ok, thanks
That's good to know, so you do have a good LAN. hehehe
What can be wrong?
One is crappy raid. Did, or can you, test it with only one disk? I
understood raid is automatic when you put a second disk, but I was reading
fast.
Don't believe on a NIC matter, and configuration you must have check it a
lot.
Try speeds with CIFS/SMB or rsync?
Just my 5 cents over my head... :) but less than 1MB/s is really slow,
right?
And maybe with should leave it for another post/subject. This is probably
more than David was hoping for :)
I'm starting to think NAS are pretty much black boxes, so I'll go for more
if possible (bigger if not) new disks to the server. eSata or USB3 external
disks may also be nice possibilities, but those connections are not
available on our tough old backuppc servers :)
Still, NAS gives others advantages.
