The numbers make sense - you have 5 drives in RAID-Z and 4/5ths of total bandwidth is the "real" bandwidth. On the other hand, 25 MB/s is very slow for modern drives (assuming you're doing sequential read/write tests).

Search the lists for Samba performance advice - the default configuration isn't nearly optimal. --------------enig44A484ED89D2AD7FC7AB8745 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJEXxsldnAQVacBcgRAqSBAKCgCBQqBG7cgOLBWYVGokCgT9lUNACgm0h2 cp69wbiwPY3e1GqadCeRh9M= =anJL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig44A484ED89D2AD7FC7AB8745--
