This is my first real dive into hosting a server beyond a few Docker containers in my NAS. I've been learning a lot over the past 5 days, first thing I learned is that Proxmox isn't for me:

So now I'm running headless Ubuntu and having a much better time! I migrated all of my Docker stuff to my new server, keeping my media on the NAS. I originally set up an NFS share (NAS->Server) so my Jellyfin container could snag the data. This worked at first, quickly crumbled without warning, and HWA may or may not be working.
Enter the Jellyfin issue: transcoded playback (and direct, doesn't matter) either give "fatal player error" or **extremely **slow, stuttery playback (basically unusable). Many Discord exchanges later, I added an SMB share (same source folder, same destination folder) to troubleshoot to no avail, and Jellyfin-specific problems have been ruled out.
After about 12hrs of 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' and 'dd if=/path/to/nfs_mount/testfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=4096 status=progress', I've found some weird results from transferring the same 65GB file between different drives:
NAS's HDD (designated media drive) to NAS's SSD = 160MB/s NAS's SSD to Ubuntu's SSD = 160MB/s NAS's HDD to Ubuntu's SSD = .5MB/s
Both machines are cat7a ethernet straight to the router. I built the cables myself, tested them many times (including yesterday), and my reader says all cables involved are perfectly fine. I've rebooted them probably a fifty times by now.
NAS (Synology DS923+): -32GB RAM -Seagate EXOS X24 -Samsung SSD 990 EVO
Ubuntu: -Intel i5-13500 -Crucial DDR5-4800 2x32GB -WD SN850X NVMe
If you were tasked with troubleshooting a slow mount bind between these two machines, what would you do to improve the transfer speeds? Please note that I cannot SSH into the NAS, I just opened a ticket with Synology about it.
Here's the current /etc/fstab after extensive Q&A from different online communities
NFS mount: 192.168.0.4:/volume1/data /mnt/hermes nfs4 rw,nosuid,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=13>
SMB mount: //192.168.0.4/data /mnt/hermes cifs username=_____,password=_______,vers=3.>
"-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'" I'm not familiar with ethtool, but I looked up some commands related to ethtool. Unfortunately, everything I tried give me "bad command line argument(s)"
What output do you get from either
