you need to give a bit (read: lots!) more information ... - are you sure you have a 1Gb connection in the first place? One way to find out is "kstat -p -n e1000g0 -s ifspeed" (replace e1000g0 with your interface". the output is bits/s, so you should see e1000g:0:e1000g0:ifspeed 1000000000 again, with your adapter's name in place of e1000g0. If you get 10^8, you have a 100Mbit connection. - how/what are you testing? CPU utilisation and network throughput don't necessarily go in lockstep. I just looked at mine, and it said 0 Mib/s - there wasn't anything going on. > I am running 3 Segate 7200.11 1T drives across 3 LSI SAS3041 controllers > (1 drive each) configured with zfs in a raidz and cifs. how is this related to network throughput (I'm not saying it isn't, you just haven't said)? > I'm not sure what kind of performance I should be expecting, but It > seems like the bottleneck might be the network here.
