Also found this so seems I haven’t been the only one experiencing this issue.

Thanks Jorge, Not sure what I am looking at to be honest.

I updated my system and swapped out for a new motherboard, cpu and case. Now I am kind of back to my oringal problem but I am getting 20-25MB/s downlaods Could this issue be caused by a bad SAS to Sata cable? or a failing drive? tower-diagnostics-20230504-1403.zip

Update, for anyone who is curious. I swapped from the nvme cache to a sata ssd and still no change. I have found tough, that when I have 6/8 SAS to sata connectors plugged into my drives I get the poor sabnzdb (docker) download performance (1.5MB/s). But when I have 4/8 sas to sata connectors (I think that is what these are called, I am not quite sure) my sabnzdb download performance is back where I would kind of expect it (50-60MB/s, I have a 1Gb connection so perfect world and originally this was around 90MB/s). I will get around to moving back to the nvme drive, hopefully keeping the status quo and after that I will try test to see if it is a falt with one of my SAS to sata connectors or it could be a fault with one of the two SAS plugs on the HBA board I guess too?

update: Still no fix, I have reformatted all drives to XFS and have moved my cache drive over to a SATA SSD. My downloads still cap at 1-1.5 MB/s when all drives are connected through the HBA card. I still get normal performace when all array drives are through the on board SATA ports and the SATA SSD (cache) is via the HBA card. Any suggestions or ideas?

Fixed up the shares using cache all of a sudden and re-run the upgrade to 6.11.0-RC4. No hiccups this time. Not really sure what happened in the end.

Correct. Sometimes there will be a spike in download speed but these are random and also still only around 6MB/s.

Sab history before switching back to HBA (originally on HBA 3 days and beyond ago). and straight back to throttled downloads this makes no sense haha. There is no other activey on the server.

This is me making the change back to the on board sata ports. I'll lets some more downloads occur naturally and will convert back to the HBA card and report back.

Yeah downloading direct to cache, ran common problems to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. Array writes seemed to be normal. Only really noticed the slower docker update downloads and Sab was clearly slower. Is there any tests I can run on the disk layer that could build more of a picture? How do I convert to xfs and do I loose data if/when I convert? thanks

I have reconnected all my HDDs back to the onboard sata ports and so far my SAB downloads are back to normal, so utilizing the full bandwidth of my internet connection. Looking at the syslogs the HBA card shows up correctly as far as I understand. mpt2sas_cm0: LSISAS2308: FWVersion(20.00.07.00), ChipRevision(0x05), BiosVersion(07.39.02.00) Aug 17 11:42:23 Tower kernel: mpt2sas_cm0: Protocol=(Initiator,Target), mpt2sas_cm0: Capabilities=(TLR,EEDP,Snapshot Buffer,Diag Trace Buffer,Task Set Full,NCQ) attached is the latest diagnostics zip with setup no using HBA. Anyone able to provided some advice? Was i meant to change a setting before installing? tower-diagnostics-20220817-1146.zip

would a HBA card potential cause a slowdown? It might just be a coincidence but looking back, my slowness seems to have started the day I installed my HBA card (LSI 9207-8i) My cache is on an nvme drive.

I have upgraded to 6.11.0-rc2 to see if this makes any difference by some chance. Unfortunately it seems to have made no difference. anyone have any suggestions?

I am in Australia, so not impacted by that outage.

Hi I am kind of at a loss and don't know where else to look. I am experiencing extremely slow downlaods of docker updates and nzb downloads. I am only getting between 1 and 5 MB/s, my ISP plan is 1000Mbps. Prevoisly I was getting 80-90MB/s. I was on 6.10.3 as I only seem to have started experiencing the issue early this year, since March maybe. I have down graded to 6.10.2 but still the same speeds. I use SABnzbd and have tried NZBGet with no difference. I also use two different news groups. I have tested SAB on my pc and the SAB test downloads run at full speed. I don't use a VPN, other then unraid's implementation of wiregaurd which is to my phone, but i was troubleshooting with my ISP, with traceroutes and they repeatadle said I was using a VPN. Does wireguard route ALL traffic? I have tested with wiregaurd off and my download has still been the same. Hopefully that makes sense and someone is able to assist. Attached is the diagnostics from 6.10.3 tower-diagnostics-20220628-1425.zip

Hi I am on 6.10.3 and have been experiencing slower SABnzbd downloads for a little while now, maybe end of May. From 80-90MB/s down to 1-5MB/s. I am not sure it is due to any of the unraid updates, but i am at a lost to what else to look at. If someone who knows more than I is able to look over and advise? I have been running the same setup and configuration for years now with the only changes being OS updates and a recent move to using a HBA card. Thanks tower-diagnostics-20220628-1425.zip

Hi quick question and sorry it is regarding versioning. Just wanting to make sure I have this correct. I am currently on :5.9, If i change to :Latest does this deploy a new image or does it replace the current? (or is that me choosing to go over the top of the current folder?) And it I want to revert it just have a unifi backup ready and blow the image away and redeploy with :5.9 again Thanks

Pros: Been an awesome system and have been using for many years now, started out as pure storage and morphed from there. Enjoyed seeing it grow to a more rounded solution with dockers and such. Cons: So called awesome community? People keep creating more and more things to do with unRaid, my original system feels inadequate :P. I keep reading the cool things people are doping with unRaid and feel like i am falling behind. Keep up the good work!

Yeah cool nuhll will give it a few days and see if I can get anything from previous recommendation but sounds good.

Will do the htop thanks. It normally takes days between occurrences. emails are health checks, can drop the frequency if it is too excessive.

Hi team, Hoping to get some assistance with my server. My server will hit 100% cpu and memory usage when there is no user activity. This usual requires a reboot to sort out, unless it has happened when I have not been home and self healed. Attached is a diagnostics and I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience and or path of trouble shooting. Cheers, Michael tower-diagnostics-20190427-1113.zip

Yeah will do, was just hoping someone in this side might of seen the same issue. thanks

Hi, just looking for some advice. Sorry but this isn’t necessarily docker related but related to UniFi and unRaid so thought someone here might be able to shed some light. I added a USG into my setup and all is working though everything within unRaid can no longer resolve websites; 2019-03-26 19:44:21,890::INFO::[rss:309] Failed to retrieve RSS from https://dognzb.cr/rss.cfm?r=e#s#s#ssss#s#s=9000: <urlopen error [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution> Gmail smtp no longer works for notifications sab server test; [Errno 99] Address not available Check for internet or DNS problems thanks

Ok so I just ended up powering down. In the end I needed to disable docker in order for it to release the hold on the cache drive. Copying files from old to new parity now. Hopefully no more hiccups. Thanks
