Hi all,

I have a server running virtualbox and freenas installed for my file server. I have one card (Intel Pro/1000 GT) dedicated to it and I am getting speeds of 4.0 MB/s transfering to it.

What should I be getting? My router is a Netgear DG834GT DG Team Custom Firmware V1.02.16 – DGTeam Rev. 0848.

Also using Cat5e and im coping from a Windows 7 machine using teracopy.

Edit: Just tested with the 10/100 card assigned to that VM and I still get 4.0 MB/s max!!

Edit 2: The file system I am using on the disk is showing as UFS in freenas.

Just tried it on the same server but not virtual amd I get 11 MB/s compared to 4 MB/s virtual. The 11 MB/s is using server 2008 with a gig network card and router...

Thats still slower than I would expect!! I have also tried setting the nic to 1000 full.
 
You my friend, just hit the nail on the head! I thought it was 10/100/1000 but no its:-

5 x 10/100 (1 Internet and 4 LAN) network ports with

Still, quite a performance hit between the virtual and physical machine. (4MB/s compared to 11MB/s)
