Hi,
I'm trying to use the new iSCSI initiator (thanks!) with 7, but I'm
getting dismal performance. A simple dd will will max out at about
2MB/sec, and untarring the likes of the ports tree is a painful task.
I have similar experience. In my case I was using for initiator Linux
host and FreeBSD with iscsi-target from ports.
I didn't have enough time to dig where the problem is.
The target is another FreeBSD 7 machine running the NetBSD target
daemon from ports exporting a ZVOL from ZFS (also tried with a file on
UFS).
It'll start off relatively fast and then suddenly dies after a few
seconds, and then eventually will start again:

The two hosts are connected with GbE, and iperf can saturate it
without trouble (~987Mb/sec in both directions).
Any ideas where to start looking for the culprit?
Cheers
Phil
