Adam,
You're not alone. After you eliminate duplex, cabling and client patches, if you still have slow performance, then we may have common problems.

Hello,
We are new to the Netapp and are having the problem that while copying from the Netapp to either an NT (CIFS) or Sun Solaris 2.6 box (NFS), the throughput ranges from 24K/sec to 79K/sec. Copying from an NT or Sun is wonderfully fast (we have trunked the Quad Ethernet). I only know NFS but am working with the NT guys. On the NFS side, I tried a larger packet size (32K instead of 8K), I tried vers 2 and 3, I tried UDP and TCP, and I tried various combos and permuations. I tried all this even though I believe it must be some configuration parameter on the Netapp *common* to both the CIFS stuff and NFS.
