Added. Sorry about that.

Greetings, I currently have the following set up with UnRaid 6.10.3; Parity WDC_WD121KFBX-68EF5N0_5QK0K9KB - 12 TB (sdi) Disk 1 TOSHIBA_HDWG11A_Z1L0A021FBDG - 10 TB (sdl) Disk 2 WDC_WD102KFBX-68M95N0_VCKR49BP - 10 TB (sdj) Disk 3 WDC_WD102KFBX-68M95N0_VCKW15MP - 10 TB (sdk) During parity checks or certain other operations, the read/write values average around 230mb/s. Parity checks take around 18 hours to complete with an average of 180mb/s according to the history. I purchased two 12tb drives. (Western Digital 12TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 GB/s, CMR, 512 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD120EFBX) I pre-cleared one and added it to the raid. The other I use as to backup data. Once added the parity check took 30+ hours with an average of 114mb/s. So my question would be does it take longer the more drives you add? Is this type of performance change expected? I appreciate any feedback anybody has. Thanks. toph-diagnostics-20221004-0625.zip

Greetings, I hope this is the right place to ask for help. I'm using UD as a means to backup data on an UnRaid 6.10 server. I'm using four 8TB devices that are hooked up using 3 Motherboard SATA 6gb slots and 1 USB/HS slot. To test some of the backup I opened a terminal and ran an rsync command; "rsync -avztp /mnt/user/Archive* /mnt/disks/UnRaid_Backup2 --progress --log-file="/mnt/disks/UnRaid_Backup2/copylog.txt" If I read rsync correctly this is pretty standard. The problem that I'm running into is that during the copy progress the throughput will go from 150mb/s to 20k/s quite rapidly. (no pun intended) At first, I thought I had a bad disk. However, trying this same command on four different disks yielded the same results. Each test the drop in performance was at different locations. I tried both NTFS and XFS partitions with the same result. I hate to think that I have four bad drives. I don't have much experience using rsync and was wondering if that app could be the issue. I was wondering if anybody else has had issues with UD as a backup strategy? Or what strategy is used to backup using UD? I appreciate any feedback about this.

Greetings, I was using my UnRaid server yesterday all day and into the evening. When I got up this morning it was unresponsive. I eventually had to hard power off by holding the power button. I've attached the diagnostics that I generated after the start up, but I'm really not sure where to start for troubleshooting. Could someone provide a path that I might take to try and determine why it became unresponsive? I appreciate any feedback and help with this. Thanks, -Matt toph-diagnostics-20220919-0636.zip

After looking through this thread it seems this app is abandoned. Is that the case?

I'm not sure I understand this. According to the Unraid documentation 3Ware is listed as a controller brand that is considered compatible; "3Ware AMCC RAID Controller 9550SX-12SI" I have the 3Ware AMCC RAID Controller 9650-24. Am I misinterpreting this somehow? Although the 3Ware itself is not a recommended card all the other LSI RAID cards are. Can you clarify your recommendation? Thanks

Greetings, I currently have my SATA drives on the local MB and a 3Ware raid card. I have an extra 3Ware raid card and was wondering if putting the Parity drive(s) on their own controller would help with performance. Can anybody provide any information if this would be beneficial? Thanks

Greetings, I have a Sabrent Plano external enclosure that I wanted to use as a backup device with some 5TB disks that I have. But for some reason when I format using Windows Unraid can't see the partition. When I use unraid to format (NTFS for both Windows and Unraid) then Windows can't see the partition. Anybody know why something like this happens? Thanks.

Greetings, I'm about to embark down this 'passthrough' road. But I don't understand how you actually use the passthrough GPU. Do you have to be at the UnRaid server with a monitor hooked into the GPU? Or do you view it through some other method like a VNC session? Thanks for you feedback.

Greetings, I'm currently using a 3Ware 9650SE-24. I currently have a mix of 10 drives connected. 6 8TB data drives, 1 8TB Parity drive, 1 6TB cache drive and 2 3TB drives that are unassigned. When I go into the disk settings, select 3Ware as the controller type, set the correct drive, I get back the smart data. Then I select "Done". The problem that I'm running into is when I get to the third drive the settings for the previous two drives get wiped out. I was wondering if anybody has seen this type of behavior and if there's some type of work around? I doubled checked the flash drive and I can write a file to /boot. So I think the USB device is fine. Thanks for any feedback. -Matt

Greetings, I'm an Unraid noob and looking for something out of the ordinary. (At least I think) I'm copying about 20TB of data to a new NAS that I built. I found that if I remove the parity drives the transfer goes a lot faster. (I understand the dilemma I put myself in with no parity drives.) I'm copying data over the network and unassigned devices using MC. I found that when using the share from a WinPC that Unraid will create a new share name on another disk and start using that disk. At the same time I can use a different disk with MC. Effectively getting 150mb/s with MC and about 120mb/s using SMB. So my question is; is there a way to get Unraid to create the share names on the other disks? (I have 5 8TB disks). That way I could use the disk for MC that the network copy isn't using. I appreciate any feedback about this. Thanks, -Matt
