Someone posted some extra options to mount with and add to exports file. Those added options almost doubled the speed. I watch gkrellm and I think it is going about as fast as it can. My problem is, some software uses one unit to measure things while another uses something else. It makes it hard to figure out what is doing what. Still, using gkrellm which is something I'm used to watching when it comes to drive read/write data, I think it is as good as it is going to get. Not that I'm not open to trying other options that might speed things up. I still think encryption is slowing it down some. As you say tho, ethernet isn't helping which is why I may look into other options later, faster ethernet or fiber if I can find something cheap enough. My new CPU cooler is on it's way. I'm picking up the smaller stuff at times. I couldn't pass up a good deal on that CPU cooler. The big spend is CPU, mobo and memory. Oh, that MASSIVE case too. O_O Dale :-) :-)
