Hi
I am setting up a file server for a small office (10 computers).
My first attempt at this I used FreeNas. It was easy to setup
and I like that the system is dedicated.
One downside of this method is that the write times are slower
than I expected. I am using SATA2 drives w/ 8MB buffer on a

Have you checked to make sure the NIC is negotiating at the right speed?
Sounds suspiciously like it's running at 10MB/sec.
The 100MB light is lit up, but I did not turn off ICMP redirects. I
think I'll try this tonight.

Depends on how write heavy the filesystem will be, if it's write heavy then
you may find a RAID 5 with 3 disks sucks (esp for a database).

Robert,
I think I already sent out this link that documents FreeBSD R5
performance:

I recently saw an article documenting similar benchmarks using geom
and vinum in a Japanese FreeBSD magazine and the handbook section
around vinum does warn about
I have looked into and tried FreeBSD 6.0 Vinum and GEOM RAID in our PIII
SCSI 80-pin server with the help of several here on the list. I'm pretty
much going to use GEOM RAID-1 for the system disks using Ralf's doc. I
have room for 3 more disks. Would you recommend using Vinum RAID-5 on
three 73GB
