How fast can a Windows 2008 CIFS client write to SAMBA server using 10Gb NIC?
- by one_bsd_guy
We are experiencing a performance problem using Windows 2008 CIFS client. We have a FreeNAS server that delivers 1.3GB/s on ZFS write. We have 10Gb network connecting NAS server and CIFS clients. Using two Linux CIFS clients, we can get around 1.2GB/s. But windows 2008 clients can only give us 400MB/s.
Is that the best a Windows 2008 client can deliver or we do have a poorly configured Windows client?
Much appreciated.
