I think I found the problem one of the Parity disk was a USB disk running via a USB2 Port , after removing it its now back to full speed thank you for the support

Hardware based booting , is still slow but better than the VM VM was about 10MB/s this is about ~|30MB/s The standard copying of data from the system to the shares are running at normal speeds about 140MB/s . Mark as Solution

Is there any special vm settings that i need to take care of before I try the baremetal boot ?

The parity check has dropped from 130+ MB/s to 9 to 10 MB sec The server was moved from the physical Ryzen machine to an intel R720D Dell Server as a VM with ITmode card. The data transfers are fine with no decrease in speeds but only the parity checks are slow. I have checked other threads and didnt find any solution that was posted there suitable here. Diags posted as well . dmnassrv001-diagnostics-20221103-1920.zip

THank you for posting this , I have the V5 of the same switch and have been struggling to get the link aggredation to work , would you mind to post both unraid and Switch config as I have the same setp but the LAG is still "link down "

Dear All I am running about 5-6 Vms on the 6.9 Rc2 , Since I am running on another server on different esx a backup software like commvault , Backup exec. In general I can add a new client on that software for the vmware backups ( snap based backups ) , Is there a possiblity to add the unraid KVM into that as a type of esx/ vcenter to be able to recognise the deployed vms to backup as snapshot? I currently have these options in the commvault software, where I want to test vm based backups.

Migration complete, parity rebuild now on going . fingers crossed

Thank you , started the data migration , will report back once completed.

Ok roger that , so i was confused , so now I will setup a new config , so with new config ( adding disks to array data ) will not erase it right ? only incae of adding parity would clean up the disks ( Parity DIsk) If I understand.

@trurl so If I understood correctly , sorry i repeat my self to make sure I do it right so i bring up the array without a parity disk . then I launch the mc from command line , move the entire content of the 8 TB disk to new disks then stop the array and just remove the 8 TB disk from array disks ?

THank @trurl for taking time to help , so I would basically add the new disks to the array and start it up ... and then how do i copy / move files from the 8TB volume ? there is about 6TB of data on the 8TB disk .

I have searched the forum and couldn't find a same situation and hence the new topic ,apologies if it feels repeated I am a newbie and have the following setup Unraid 6.9 rc2 Array disks 2tb 3tb 8tb Parity 8tb This morning parity disk failed with a servo error and smart test long reports the same , short test has no issues , but I think disk is failing , due to low disk stock I had to buy 2 x 4tb drives , what I want to achieve is move data off the 8tb array disk to 2x4tb and then move the 8tb as new parity disk. What is the safest approach to do this ? I have read about krusader but I think for that parity needs to be online , any guidance will be appreciated.
