Just so you know, you're calling that "fairly new" but a Core2 Duo processor and 6G of ram isn't the same class of machine this is meant for. Still, that should be irrelevant, cuz you should be able to fully max out a 1G ethernet easily enough. > When I first set it up I was getting 110MB/sec writes across gigabit network > via SMB shares. > > I noticed recently that write rate has dropped off and through testing now I > am getting 35MB/sec writes. The pool is around 50-60% full. How, precisely are you performing your test? Step by step... What do you get if you start "iostat 5" a minute before the test and keep it running till a little after the test? What does "zpool status" tell you? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
