I noticed today that my network file transfer speeds are way down between my desktop and my server. While moving a 4GB file to my server it took 8min rather than the usual 4 over gigabit. I’m not sure what is going on or how long this has been going on since most of my transfers I start in a VM and leave running in the background. Watching my hard drive activity during these file transfers I noticed that I’m not even touching the drives in any way. HDTach says my server should be pushing nearly 120MB/sec, and I’m getting about 8MB/sec over my gigabit connection right now. My general rule is a Gigabyte transfered per minute. I used to do that without any problem. Unfortunately I have to finish a rather large school project today so I won’t be able to delve in and see if this is a server or client problem until later in the week. I’ll keep you posted.
