I am working on getting iperf on my synology to do a full proper test.
I have compiled 3.10.1 myself to run on my ds918+ but seems you can also get it in this package.

@johnpoz
Ha! I did not realize there was a package. I just ripped iperf3 arm binaries out of a debian 10 package and tossed them on my synology.Here are the results. My slowness definitely appears to be my disk array (7.2K RPM 4 Disk RAID 10). pfSense is definitely not the problem, nor my cables.

what synology do you have? I was not aware you could just copy the binaries over from a linux distro ;) That would of saved so much time then compiling it myself for dsm7 ;) hehe I found that package myself after I spent a couple of hours getting the dev environment setup, etc..
Those speeds look fine! But your only seeing 40-60MBps in a file copy.. Are you just using normal SMB file copy?
Maxed out gig should be able do easy 100MBps
edit: I have someone streaming something off my nas right not (plex) but just copied over a close to 2GB file from nas to my pc.. Seeing 230ish MBps overall
That is over the 2.5ge connection.
Over the gig connection

@johnpoz
RS819 with DSM 7. Synology already had a lot of the dependencies on there. Just needed the iperf3 binary, libiperf.so.0, and libsctp.so.1.SMB3 from Ubuntu 20.04 PC (using rsync). I was doing a backup yesterday of some local vmdk files and 12GB was just chugging along at 40MB/s. Flat out stuck at that speed.
My local drives are Samsung 980 Pro and the NAS has 4 Seagate Ironwolf Pro 4TB.I agree the speeds should be more.
-
@erasedhammer well sure doesn't seem to be your wire speed.. Those look to be rocking for gig..
Yeah try something other than rsync? Just like SMB or NFS file copy?
-
Copying files through dolphin file manager over SMB3 is the same speed.
-
@erasedhammer did this slow down recently? Were you before seeing 100MBps file copies?
-
@johnpoz Would love to help, but I cannot see the starting posts of the conversation, and some of the details that have been posted.
What makes this forum remove some of the initial posts so we can only see later replies (some of which quotes former answers I cannot see either)?
Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
-
@johnpoz
I went back and reviewed network interface metrics over the past year, and I replaced my DS218 with the RS819 back in March. All the historical data for the RS819 shows it never exceeded 500Mbit/s. The DS218 historical data shows it hitting 930Mbit/s regularly.One thing that may be the issue is the RS819 has an "Adaptive Load Balancing" feature using its two RJ45 1Gig ports (I guess fake LAGG?). It doesn't require any support for the connected switch.
But, then again I believe iperf3 should have shown something if the fake LAGG was the problem.

huh? I don't see any deleted posts, and see the first post, etc.. Do you happen to have the OP blocked?
edit: could you post up a screenshot of the area where you think something is missing? I can post a screenshot of the whole thread, and you could point out what your missing?

@johnpoz Okay, that was weird... I didn't block the OP, and in the end I tried Firefox and it worked fine.
So cleared my cache for the site completely in chrome and presto - everything is visible...
How that can happen is beyond me, but it's working now. Thanks for posting the picture so I could see it was my browser view that was "screwed up" :-) -

The tests seem to be almost identical, but why is the "download" to my PC not hitting full gigabit?
Your problem is the SFP+ RJ45 tranciever in your pfSense. You can do full GigE from NAS to and from pfSense, you can only do full GigE to but not from pfSense to your PC.
I have had millions of issues with SFP+ trancievers (especially 10Gbe) in several pfSense boxes where one direction is fine, the other is not.
I realize yours is a RJ45 1Gbe SFP+ adapter, but that still plugs as a 10Gbe tranciever, so I would expect it to be sensitive to the very same problems.Try wiring your PC to one of the 1Gbe Switch ports instead. Then you NAS <-> pfSense <-> PC iPerf and SMB filecopy will show full GigE i both directions :-)
-
Did I miss something? The original post shows about 30k retries. That is a dirty connection. iperf has done its job and pointed to the problem.
For reference I have trouble getting a copy on all flash NetApps to run faster than about 2 to 3 Gb/s when doing a file copy with large files. These systems are running clean LACP 2x10Gb. In aggregate they easily exceed 10Gb, but when reading/writing to a single file system they are limited to how the file table works, block allocation is single threaded.
Assuming you are all flash, it is still consumer level HW not backed by plenty of cache. Windows and Linux are not optimized in a way to make file transfers super fast. Just a guess, but I doubt Synology NAS systems are actually highly optimized Linux systems. Meaning you are limited by other things in the OS and file system management.
Watch for the write cliff with SSDs. They all run at blazing speed then hit a cliff and performance falls off dramatically.
Networking and pfSense are a hobby, storage has fed the family for 20 years. -

Networking and pfSense are a hobby, storage has fed the family for 20 years.Exactly, that is very very likely caused by the SFP+ -> RJ45 tranciever.
For the record: One of these NAS's with 4 spinning drives in Raid 5/6 will do 112 MB/s (Full GigE) easily in any somewhat sequential workload - even with copying thousands of files as long as they are 1 MB+ in size and the drives does not get bogged down in filetable updates.

The nas and PC are connected to dumb switch.. The sfp connection doesn't come into play when pc talking to nas
-
Are you sure? Why do we have only the ix1 info then? That could be connected to the switch, no?
-
@stephenw10 said in Iperf testing, same subnet, inconsistent speeds.:
Are you sure?
No not really.. But seems more logical.. And if the sfp was problematic, he would of seen that issue when testing between pc and nas.
Where is the nas connected if the pc is directly connected to the pfsense.. He makes no mention of bridge, etc. And that the pc and nas are on the same network.
The port of on his pfsense is the uplink from the switch..
And when stated that pfsense is not part of the conversation between pc and nas he agreed, etc. So to me the pc and nas are connected to the switch, like any normal setup.
Look at his tests between pc and nas - his wire speed is not the issue for his slow file copies.
-
I should probably clarify, My setup is not exactly standard.
My NAS is connected to the built in marvel switch on my XG-7100. My PC is connected to a 5 port dumb switch, which is then connected to the SFP+ port on pfsense.
Here's a drawing so we don't get confused.

Just to add another data point. I tried scp a file of random junk, both 500MB and 1GB to both the synology flash disk and the RAID array and got the same speeds:
1GB scp to RAID array:
500MB to /tmp :
The original iperf3 test I did from synology I actually copied the results from the server side, so it omitted the retries. Here is the PC to NAS and NAS to PC iperf tests again:

I am at a loss for what is the bottleneck here. I get the same speeds to the synology onboard flash as the RAID array? but its not full gigabit, yet iperf shows the network is not the problem?
It seems if I use any actual application that transfers data (ssh, rsync, smb) then I don't see full gigabit...

@erasedhammer said in Iperf testing, same subnet, inconsistent speeds.:
Just to add another data point. I tried scp a file of random junk, both 500MB and 1GB to both the synology flash disk and the RAID array and got the same speeds:
1GB scp to RAID array:
500MB to /tmp :
The original iperf3 test I did from synology I actually copied the results from the server side, so it omitted the retries. Here is the PC to NAS and NAS to PC iperf tests again:

Done a second time I get only 10-20 retires over all the intervals.
I am at a loss for what is the bottleneck here. I get the same speeds to the synology onboard flash as the RAID array? but its not full gigabit, yet iperf shows the network is not the problem?
It seems if I use any actual application that transfers data (ssh, rsync, smb) then I don't see full gigabit...
Please read My former replies. Your issue is the SFP+ tranciever.
