Have recently installed a new Unraid server in our architecture office, but now have a major problem. Whenever we save a large (10's or 100's MB) file from Autodesk Revit to an Unraid share, Revit hangs after the save for some time proportional to the file size (up to 5+ minutes for 100MB+ file). Exact behaviour is click Save, green progress bar gets to 100%, then program hangs ("not responding" / greyed out) then it comes back.
We have replicated this across two different unraid servers (both running 6.8.2) on two completely different networks from multiple different Windows 10 clients. One unraid server has AMD cpu, the other intel. Both have very good resources (16GB or 32GB memory, fast drives etc)
There is no generally underlying performance issues - large (3GB) files copy happily across the network at 112MB/s etc.
Same behaviour on shares with or without cache enabled
Same behaviour with or without Docker enabled
Same behaviour with multiple versions of Revit (2018, 2020) etc
Latest patches for wndows, Revit etc.
Revit has no problems saving to DLink ShareCentre NAS or Windows shares.
First time using Unraid with Revit. New server in arch office still on demo license. Same behaviour with my other server (licensed) used for different business. Both diagnostics attached - dmserver is the Arch office server.
Put as Urgent as it is a showstopper for us in the office. We will need to abandon Unraid in the next day or so if we can't improve this. Appreciate it's an edge case for you in terms of the software involved, so you may want to downgrade to Minor.
Not sure how to diagnose this further. Are there some settings we can try?
