  1. Thank you for your answer dgaschk, I executed the command. The results are bellow: sdd is the cache drive. sda is WD7501AALS and sdb is WD30EZRX Strange that the black WD is slower than the green drive.
  2. I decided to perform a smart test on my cache drive and saw some concerning Raw_Read_Error_Rate values. After a research I understood that Raw_Read_Error_Rate on Seagates has always big value... is it right? Probably this is the reason for the inconsistent transfer speeds? Log attached. EDIT: I decided to move some files across the Disks. So my speed is back to normal 70(something) MB/sec when i copy from cache disk to Disk1 or Disk2. The slaw transfer speeds remain when I copy from Cache drive to user shares. So according to my understanding this can't be a hardware problem, but rather some kind of a software issue. smart.txt
  3. After my first excitement of the speed the cache drive provide me with I have just noticed some very weird behavior of the transfer speeds. Sometimes the speed is around 70 MB/s in other situations it just drops to 5-6 MB/s. I haven't changed anything in the system. Reboot doesnt solve the problem. It is not dependent also on the fact if the drives are spinning or not. It just writes with the speed it wants. The Media share is cashed. I am copying from the transmission (which is installed on the cache drive as app) to my Media user share. Probably my configuration is faulty that's why I am attaching here some screen-shots .

  5. What have you used "disable" or "/s300" ? I used "/s300"
  6. I may assure you that I am not writing constantly on the drive but wd30ezrx had something like 7000 lcc for a week. After applying wdiddle3 the lcc are behaving like on my wd blacks. I have heard that not all of the wd30ezrx series suffer from this issue but I have one of this with problems for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. No issues which i have noticed so far. Just don't forget to run WDidle3 on them. Otherwise you will have a high level of LCC in a very short period of time.
  8. @jowi: sadly the test in my environment could not be a benchmark as I am currently using an old vaio laptop with a 100mbit network interface. The speed is around 12 Mbyte/sec. @raptor: your remark is correct. I mean the CPU is not a beast comparing to the others board members ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Wow, I am impressed, Just received my Plus license key and rushed to install an old Seagate Momentus 5400.6 drive as a cache drive. The increase of data transfer speed is really dramatic. I am writing from the cache drive to a user shares with ~ 75-80 Mbyte/Sec...while before my peak was something like 35 Mbyte/Sec. I suppose with faster Cache HDD the speed will be even higher. My CPU is an old Celleron G530 @ 2.40GHz and non fancy at all Mainboard Asus P8H61-M-LE/USB3 + 4gb cheapo RAM.
  10. Thanks Joe L and all. I decided to make a clean install. All is working great again.
  11. Problem solved after setting 300seconds with wdiddle.exe. Initially was set to 8 sec. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. So in such a case a fresh installation is the only way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Thank you chickensoup for your rapid reply. Currently I do not have a 93 477 77parity drive installed as I still transfer my files from different sources. I will write here as soon as I upgrade to test-2. Hope this will resolve my problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Dear all, I have been using unraid 5, rc3. Then decided to upgrade to rc5. I did the upgrade replacing the bzimage and bzroot files. After starting the server everything worked great and didn't noticed any problems. Two days later I have noticed that I can't perform smart tests from the web interface anymore and I got the message that disks need to be spinning in order to perform the test. This message appeared while all my disks was spinning. Restart didn't help at all. Second problem: I can't install plugins anymore neither from unmenu nor manually. I have a console message saying that the upgradeplg command is not found. Do I need to build the system from scratch or I have a chance to fix this issues without rebuilding? Thanks in advance, Best regards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Hello, Today I have noticed that Unmenu is warning me for a high level of Load Cycle count=4252 for one of my HDDs. I bought this drive about a month ago. Should i be concerned about this values or everything is as it should be. The drive is WD30EZRX. Thanks.
  16. Thank you all. I will continue filling up the array and will let you know about the results. Best regards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Thank you mr-hexen. Please kindly find attached the main screen capture. Due to the large file size i will attach the syslog in the next post.
  18. Sadly I have to report that after filling DISK1 with data and only 750gb free remained (the same free space DISK2 has) unraid continues to write to DISK1 only using User Shares. Again tried to change high-level to 2,3,4.....it is just the same. Restarts performed on every split-level change. Even tried Most-free option.... To me user shares split-levels just don't work. Disk 2 is never used. Do I need to upgrade to RC6 as I am using RC3 recently? EDIT: Upgraded to 8168-test version. Still no go.
  19. Thank you all. In case high-water means equal free space and not equal percentage of free space then it means that Unraid will start writing to Disk 2 (which is 750gb) once Disk 1 has only 750gb or less free space. I will rename the topic to "Solved" now. Best regards.
  20. Yes, theoretically it should be like this. Unfortunately DISK-1 is 55 % full and Unraid continue writing to it... Just tested "Most free" method. Split level 3 or 4- it is the same. Only DISK-1 is used by Unraid.
  21. Thanks for your answer. I have exactly the same folder structure on the second disk. If I write directly on disk2 the movie appears on the user shares. It is obviously writing when I force it but I had the impression that unraid is going to write automatically to the disks based on certain criteria. Probably the problem appears only to rc3?
