`<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello people.</div><div>I recently installed my first true NAS box at home, which is a HP Microserver N40L</div><div>with 16GB in RAM, 1x250GB for OS and 4x 2TB Enterprise SATA disks provided by HP in a RAIDZ.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm using the newest/updated OmniOS v11 r151008 and also Napp-it and other services.</div><div>What I would like to know is, have there been any issues/problems and do people</div><div>have some performance tuning tips regarding networking issues on the BC5723 controller provided</div>
<div>by the HP Microserver ? It's the bge module/driver ?</div><div><br></div><div>Sometimes I find the speeds to the BOX will rock up & down. I haven't configured</div><div>a gigabit network, thats on the plan this weekend. I have full-duplex and flowctrl enabled.</div>
<div>For an example, I noticed after building my small ipf firewall rules and enabled the firewall</div><div>the speed did go down, specially with CIFS and NFS(didn't test the AFP).</div><div><br></div><div>So, any performance tips out there ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Svavar O - Reykjavik - Iceland</div>
