I'm pulling my hair out over a devilish problem that's holding up a fileserver migration. Any advice desperately appreciated.
When you try to transfer files to the VM, the transfer just randomly pauses and un-pauses after a few hundred megabytes of each burst. The pauses last around 15 seconds but can be a minute or more. It's worse the bigger the file is. 2012 R2 server fully patched with 2 CPU & 5GB of RAM & 60GB system & 800GB storage on VMware backed by a SAN. * File transfer dialog on Windows 8 usually bottoms out at 0 bytes/s when this happens. Pausing or cancelling transfer on client doesn't register until it un-locks. * Resource Monitor on server shows Disk as no activity when this happens except for maybe some random bursts * Happens with robocopy and xcopy as well as native Windows Explorer * Happens connecting from both 2008R2 and Win8.1 with different network paths. * Occurs when transferring to system drive or data storage drive. * NTFS/REFS doesn't matter on storage drive * SMB signing is off * Absolutely nothing installed on the server. NOTHING. No roles. No extra features other than the GUI. * Pauses are worse the bigger the file is. * Data Deduplication and File Resource Monitor used to be installed, but they've been removed for troubleshooting. * Tried uninstalling SMB 1.0 on server Again, ANY ideas or tips appreciated. Thank you! [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] Daniel Wolf Neopost USA
