Updated and problem solved. thanks

My main media share is showing 857TB free space. The dashboard shows correct sizes 133TB of 191TB. used. If I click compute it shows size of 127TB and all the disks show correct size and free space. I checked the disk shares and they all display the correct size and free space. Any ideas on where to look? I'm running 12.2.2. thanks

bonienl, thank you so much, this script made it so easy to switch my 10gig card to eth0. I just added a ifconfig after the script to assign an IP to the built in 1gig in hopes of using it for WOL, unfortunately it didn't work.

John_M, Not 100% true, my IPMI connection is eth0 and unraid has no problem configuring my 10gig card which is eth1. I would like to enable the second onboard 1gig and try to use it for WOL as 10gig cards don't support it. I think I have the udev rules sorted out but how do I get the file into the etc/udev/rules.d folder at bootup? thanks

Nope, PCI means PCI. PEG=PCI express graphics slot 1, PEG2= PCI express graphics slot 2.

Fireball, check your BIOS there is usually an option to pick PCIE or PCI for the videocard.

I've been running Connectx-2 EN cards for a while. The drivers are already in unraid and they are dirt cheap on ebay.

Are you sure that your moving enough data when you test the LACP? Say copying large 1-2G files to an SSD cache from 2+ clients at the same time.

name is eth2. Common jumbo frames setting is 9000. However jumbo frames can be a bugger, you have to make sure everything supports the jumbo frames value you want to use. Some old switches/routers only supported 4k, 6k or 8k. Unless you have some old hardware you probably will see a very small speed boost (if any) using jumbo frames, not worth the bother.

Or you could get a couple of the 2008 clones, Dell, IBM etc on ebay. Flash them to IT and you have 16 ports for $100 tops.

If the client is win8.1 or win10 won't server side copy stop this problem as long as the source and destination are in the same share. I have found unraid to be a bit weird with SSD cache drives as far as speed. Copying to a cache only share I get 250-300MB/s (10Gb connection) but if I copy to a share with cache enabled it can drop to 60MB/s.

A LSI 1068 is built in to my MB and it definitely does not support drives over 2.2TB. For larger drives you need a LSI 2008 chip, as used in the 9211 card and Dell 310.

the minimum free space is set to 0 for the cached share and the cache only share. As for validating, I looked at \\tower\cache and could see the files I had just copied to Z: (my media share). Unless it starts to slow down again lets chalk it up to gremlins and get on with our day.

Well problem solved at least for now. As suggested I shutdown all my dockers and VM's. Started everything back one at a time and checked transfer speeds and they are now close. After everything was loaded again I checked it with LAN Speed Test and it is showing only about 10% slower writing to the cached share and almost no difference reading between the 2 shares. Hopefully a one time glitch. thanks

And you'd be surprised how many people think MB/s and Mb/s are the same thing. Obviously you know the difference. My mistake on the "writing directly to the cache drive" statement. Again, sorry I can't be of more help than to say that writing to a "cache enabled" share on my server I can saturate GigE. What are the specs of your system? Supermicro SC846 case with Tyan S7025 with dual xeon 5650's and 32gig, 40+TB of mixed WD red and HGST deskstar NAS, using HGST 7200rpm 6TB for parity drive and 500Gig Samsung 850 EVO for cache. Drives are connected to LSI2008 controllers, Mellanox Connectx-2 10Gig network.

I am not copying directly to the cache drive. The speed differences are between 2 shares, one is cache only and the other is cached. That's why I thought they should be similar performance. It seems I'm out of the comfort zone of many unraid users, I thought that stating I was getting 220-240MB/s would automatically answer the questions yes I'm using at least 10G Ethernet and its an SSD drive.

Yes, the share is being watched by EMBY, it contains all my media, however the cache only share is my auto organize folder so its being watched as well. I will try shutting the EMBY server down and retest the file transfers, more data when I get home from work. thanks

Yes, the share is using the cache. That was my first thought that the cache was not being used, but I checked cache drive when I was copying files to the share and they showed up. I tried different file sizes and copied to different folders and speed stays pretty consistent at 75-80 MB/s, small files are a little slower but not much. Stumped as to the large difference in speeds. Anyone else running 10G that can do some speed tests and compare? thanks

yes, running 10Gig

yes

I have a share setup to use cache drive only and I use it as my auto organize folder for emby server. When I copy files to that share from my main PC I get write speeds of 220-240MB/s. If however I copy to a folder within a share setup to use the cache I only get write speeds of 75-80MB/s. Is the overhead from unraid causing this much of a drop in performance? Any thoughts on what I can change, if anything? Running 6.1.3 thanks

I dont think the Connectx2 EN supports WOL. I have them in my unraid server and in a Win7 box. Both show WOL disabled. I only found mention of WOL support in the dual port card documentation. Maybe they are different. I also tried the 2.9.1000 and 2.9.1200 firmware and no difference. If you find out how to make it work, please post. Bob

yes, using a samsung 840 evo ssd.

In case anyone is looking for a cheap 10Gig upgrade, the Connectx-2 cards are now working great with unraid. I am uploading to my server at 190-240MB/s.

Can you please help me update my emby docker, it stopped at 5607.1. It looks like I need to change the repo location. Its pointing at mediabrowser/mbserver:latest. How do I edit the docker to update this? thanks
