    All 4 of the 8TB shucked drives are in the enclosure. My current case only has two HDD bays, and those are occupied by some older 1TB drives. I could perhaps swap two of the 8TB with the two 1TB drives, and then use the sata connected ones as my parity.

    Yes this would be better and also improve the speed of the disks as they will currently all run and be limited to the speed of the parity disk - in this shared bandwidth mode would possibly be a bottleneck. If you can move it to the SATA channel then likely speed will improve and possibly also fix your issue. You should test it as it avoids purchasing anything additional or new.

    Got it. It was set on Auto, but I just changed it to read/modify/write. Thanks for the tip!

    No problem, since this wont change anything I am wondering if we can suggest some other way of fixing the issue. Is the parity drive separate or also in the USB enclosure? It would be better if the parity disk was on its own channel somehow rather than also being in the enclosure. (Even if just on its own in the other USB port).

    Thanks.
    No throttling down. Always on full boost.

    Try toggling the Setting to performance then powersave in the ca tweak plugin and see if it fixes it for you also. If it does then its the same thing for a bunch of people :)

    Add the required commands to the config/go file on the flash and they will then get run as part of the boot process.

    I do not know what commands the ca Tweaks community app runs to set this feature, but that would be a suitable workaround if it is not considered a problem and needing of a fix :)

  5. It is strange. It must be some sort of bug. I have also noticed that since doing this and having it set to powersave correctly now, my drive temperatures have dropped 2-3 degrees each so this is something I will have to do each reboot for now. Luckily I dont reboot often.

  6. Hi,  

     

    I just tested this on 6.8.1 after rebooting (tweaks CA plugin had powersave set as governor). 

    After reboot I logged in and ran “watch lscpu” 

    This allowed me to watch CPU frequency and assess it compared to expected fluctuations. The values were higher than I expected. 
     

    Via gui CA plugin I then changed to performance, saved. Noted lscpu output did not change. Set back to powersave and saved. Noted lscpu output now scales back CPU more aggressively. 
     

    This action must be performed each reboot to gain power savings.

  7. Hello, I am confused as to how this is functioning. Does it function like Veeam Backup where it snapshots then creates a backup (and there are two files during this period) and at the end of the backup it writes back the changes to the original disk from the delta file so we are left with just one disk file again, or is it creating additional disk files each time the backup runs and never writing the changes back so we just have a single disk image each backup and are ending up with multiple files over time?
     

    Sorry if this is already answered but it was not clear to me.
