As far as I know FreeNAS supports VMware-like snapshots but not the language that oVirt speaks. Another point to observe is that FreeNAS with RAID-Z3 is not recommended from VM storage, because it is just slow for this purpose. Usually NFS issues sync requests which will be slow due to it's nature. iSCSI tends to be faster since it can request sync and async operations. If you pool does not have a ZIL for Sync Write Offload you'll get this kind of performance. I have three oVirt installs backed by FreeNAS and all of them have 24 spindles in stripe of mirrors configuration, due to those issues.

Also, check if TrueNAS supports NFS Server-Side Copy. In order to use that feature mount the share via v4.2 .

It appears that the clone operation is not making efficient use of the network. I have seen up to 4 GBits sustained throughput by applications on VM's on the cluster. Is there a configuration I might be missing?

It's amazing what replacing the failed drive for the ZIL does for the write throughput. I peaked at 6 Gbit/second. Next bottleneck. *David Johnson* *Director of Development, Maxis Technology* 844.696.2947 ext 702 (o) | 479.531.3590 (c) <https://www.linkedin.com/in/pojoguy/> <https://maxistechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/vcards/vcard-David_Johnson... <https://maxistechnology.com/> *Follow us:* <https://www.linkedin.com/company/maxis-tech-inc/> On Fri, Apr 30, 2021 at 12:20 PM Vinícius Ferrão <ferrao(a)versatushpc.com.br&gt; wrote:
