Not sure, how to check and test this? I tried a direct LAN connection between Win 11 Laptop with 1GB LAN to 2.5GB LAN just with a patch cable (no switch or router). But it is the same issue: when Unraid server goes into sleep, the LED of the 2.5GB card is off.

Hi, my Unraid system v6.12.13 is installed on a ASUS H97-Plus mainboard and according the BIOS documenation, it supports WOL over PCIe. When I click on the standby icon (moon) in the dashboard, my server goes into standby and WOL works fine when I'm using the onboard LAN (eth0) -> the LED of the NIC blinks in standby. Sadly it doesn't work when I'm using my 2.5GBit network card in PCIe slot (eth1) -> no LED blinks on the NIC. The card supports WOL, at least I get no error message when using this command: ethtool -s eth1 wol g According my knowledge, I have setup the BIOS settings correctly (see attached photos). What kind of setting I'm missing? Who is able to help? Any idea? Thank you for help! Richwood media-diagnostics-20241011-1321.zip

Hi! Ich muss dieses alte Thema aus der Versenkung holen. Ich habe folgende Netzwerkkarte: Qualcomm® Atheros Killer E2201 LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) (auf Gigabyte GA-z97 Gaming 3 Mainboard) Unraid läuft soweit aber es scheint ich bekomme kein WOL. Laut Terminal fehlt das WOL feature: Nun mein Frage: Hat jemand WOL mit der genannten Netzwerkkarte in Unraid zum laufen gebracht? Ich nutze aktuell v6.12.13. Oder fehlt mir nur ein Treiber bzw. Addon? Danke für Hilfe!

I exchanged my drives from SMR to CMR (Seagate Ironwolf NAS) and I can confirm, that the issue with high CPU load and blocked copy process is gone now! Thank you for this hint! So, I can confirm that SMR drives indeed performs very poor in Unraid!

True, Drive Bender is no RAID. Just informed myself about SMR disks and yes, this might indeed be the issue here. Ok, I might have to think about an replacement then... Thank you for notice!

But I never had this issue with my server using Windows 10 + Drive Bender software raid. The transfer rate was always >20Mb/sec (except for very small files). This is the exact same system, no change in hardware. With unraid the copy starts fast (around 100 MB/sec) and after a certain time it slows down more and more. CPU load increases until the transfer rate drops to alomst 0. It stays down for some minutes and then it comes up to ~40 MB/sec until the next stop. This repeats with different time intervals... As I have written, currently it takes around 24h to transfer 200 GB this way! I thought my HDDs are commonly used and my CPU should be able to process such copy process without any issue... Or am I missing any specific driver for Unraid?

Sadly this is still a mystery for me. I still have this issue! The copy speed constantly drops when the CPU load hits 100%. I started copying 3,7 TB from external HDD which is attached to my unraid server. There is no other operation on the server (it just runs the docker Cloud Commander for copying). The server currently runs 24h/7d to finish this job (I'm still trying to fill my array with my data). If I'm lucky I get transfered 200 GB per day! If anybody has any further advise how to check what exactly is causing this high CPU load, I would be very happy! Thanks in advance! media-diagnostics-20240924-1708.zip

Hi! Just a short update: Today the copy process works normal, without high CPU load and without interupts. No idea why, but when it stays like this, I'm happy 🙂 Nothing changed on my setup compared to yesterday...

The result looks normal for me. Find it attached. Then benchmark finished without any issue. I also made a screenshot of the CPU load during the benchmark. Thank you for any tipps.

Ok, tested the following: - re-checked Jumbo package setting on the Realtek LAN on my Windows 11 client (activated and deactivated again) - removed the 2nd Realtek LAN card (2.5GBit) from server (currently not used) - rebooted the server & windows 11 client - started copy process again (freefilesync on Win11 client) First 13min looked promising (~20MB/sec) but then shortly after, it droped again See screenshots and new diagnosys... media-diagnostics-20240919-1655.zip

I just checked, on my Windows 11 client, this option was not active. How to check if this is active on my homeserver?

Hi! Unraid is new for me, I'm still on trail license. I setup Unraid 6.12.13 on the following system: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3, Intel i5-4690K, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, 4x HDD, 1 GBit LAN. Currently I'm only running and array with 3HDD, 1x parity HDD and no cache drive. Everything is fresh installed and the drives are empty. Currently I only want to use Unraid as NAS network share. When I copy data to the share (via Windows 11 client samba share) the transfer rate starts at ~100 MB/sec. The CPU load is around 20% (according the dashboard). Around 2mins later the transfer rate drops significant down to below 10MB/sec and it even comes to stop. The CPU load on 1-3 CPU cores reaches 100% (it varies). Finally the complete system stucks, samba share disconnects, Dashboard reponds slow etc. If I stop the copy process, the CPU load is back to idle (~7%). Questions: 1. Is the used i5-4690K to slow for this purpose? 2. How to fix this slowness issues? What I already tried, all with no help: - rebooting the unraid - disabling the (not used) docker service - restarted my Windows 11 client Currently I only want to use unraid as a NAS. This system worked fine for me as a homeserver with Windows 10 + Drive Bender. But due to lost support of Drive Bender, I wanted to give Unraid a chance to replace this but currently the system is not useable as it is now, which is very sad. Please find attached some screenshots showing the transfer rate drop and also the diagnostics. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks! Richwood media-diagnostics-20240919-1505.zip
