tinusb said:Hey all! Is there any possibility you can post some of your istgt.conf files as example? I sit with a similar problem of bad performance, not a very powerful pc, but expect better performance than what I'm getting...
iostat reports about 8MB/sec stable throughput....
dave said:When you say "not a very powerful pc" - what are we talking here?
Do you get different throughput using scp?
Is your CPU spiking when you do your tests? If so, you may want to look for a better network card, one that doesn't have to interrupt the CPU.
Do your drives support the speed you are expecting? What about the bus that the drives are connected to?
olav said:Actually, when it comes to iSCSI there is a HUGE difference between a good and a BAD NIC. I tested first with a Realtek NIC and then tried an Intel. I went from 5MB/s to 125MB/s.
olav said:Absolutely. I recommend the cheap Intel desktop ones

# QueueDepth is limited by this number, and I don't know if it is per connection or accross all (due to zero documentation available) so I raised it a bunch.

# 64 was perfectly sufficient for VirtualBox clients, but something else I tried ... maybe Proxmox, had errors until doubling it again.
