    (6.8.3) Unraid randomly slows down really badly

    USB connections are not reliable enough for disks in the parity array

    If this is the reason then I am completely screwed, I don't have any more SATA ports, and since its a 1.5 TB I assume I have to replace it with the same size drive which rules out restoring the old config. Strange that it would show up now and not after adding the drive

    I have an unraid box which will randomly slow to a crawl (SMB transfers time out, webgui mostly unresponsive, dockers unreachable/time out, can't even start HTOP till system returns), top reports high load averages but low CPU usage during these times

     

    Hardware

    • Intel i7-6700
    • 12 GB DDR4
    •  4x1tb internal drives (2 toshiba, 2 WD)
    • 1x 1.5tb seagate expansion 2.5 as a parity (connected via USB 3.0)
    • 1x onboard nic
    • 1x TP link gigabit PCIe NIC
    • HP x705w USB (boot)

     

     

    Recent Hardware changes

    • Changed from Ryzen 3 - 1200 to intel i7-6700
    • added an external drive to use as parity drive and use parity drive as data drive
    • added second NIC (TP-Link gigabit)
    • removed graphics card

     

    I have tried turning on write caching for the parity drive, it has not made much of a difference (yet, I only did this 10 minutes ago at time of writing)
