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).
The immediate suggestion is to check the port speed and duplex settings on the Ethernet interfaces of your filer, your NT and Solaris clients, and your switch. Force them all to full duplex 100 Mbps and see what happens. You may also want to try backing down to just a single 100baseT link for testing (to eliminate the possibility that trunking is causing problems).
