Direct LAN connection between NAS and Proxmox

[macproesprimo2006]

Hello everyone,

I installed Proxmox on a MacPro 2013. Because logically no further hard disks fit into these and I didn't want to spend any more money on an external hard disk housing with Raid function. I took my Fujitsu Esprimo P7936 and plugged in all my hard drives and connected them to a mirrored volume. Since the hard disk pool could be integrated wonderfully into Proxmox using NFS Share, everything worked at first glance. However, of course, the performance suffers if you send the data input from the nas and the output via a network interface on the Mac pro which creates a maximum of 1 gigabit. Logically, the speed is halved.

So I retrofitted a second Gigabit Lan card in the NAS and connected it directly to the MacPro's second LAN port.

My question now is how I have to configure these two connections in truenas and in Proxmox so that they communicate with each other and I can run the NFS share via this connection.


I would like to thank you very much for your Hi

Typically Ethernet works full duplex. Means you can send and receive 1gbit the same time - eg achieve up to 2 Gbit total throughput. If you see 50mb/s only your are limited by something else...

My question now is how I have to configure these two connections in truenas and in Proxmox so that they communicate with each other and I can run the NFS share via this connection.

Configure both with a different subnet to your existing subnet. Then, due to the basic work fundamentals of ethernet, it should be used once you have connected the NFS through the new IP subnet.
