Three days of solid stability. Everything looks as expected. Nice work.

@limetech Tom are there any specific test cases that could be performed that would help provide you more information?

@johnnie.black I'd like to gather some data to assist. To align with your tests, could I get a copy of your spreadsheet so I can plug in my numbers?

Any updates on the known issue regarding slower parity sync/check for large arrays?

I was also going to recommend this @IamSpartacus. I've experienced something similar when I was booting ESXi and switching EFI / Legacy boot resolved it.

I've got a backup mirror of my Steam game library that seems to be an ideal use case for compression. Curious did anyone try @johnnie.black's suggestion? If so how's it working for you? What's the performance impact?

I checked mine, I can't reproduce this.

Wow I've been using this and it's simply amazing. Huge thank you to integrating this into Unraid.

🤦‍♂️Would you believe before I posted I was so worried about embarrassing myself that I read every post, except the first post... 🤣 FML

Good to know, thanks Johnnie. I had a feeling you would of already spotted the issue since we both run large arrays.

Here's diagnostics from rc3, do you also want to see 6.7.2 ?

I've consistently reproduced parity check speeds that are roughly 30MB/s slower with 6.8.0-rc1 & rc3 (both the same 143MB/s) vs. 6.7.2 (173MB/s) So far I've tested all three builds mentioned, and within rc3 I've tried mq-deadline & kyber but didn't see any difference. What else should I be looking at?

If anyone has the following error using tmux, here's the workaround. Not sure when this was introduced, I'm presently running 6.8.0-rc3 Error message Run this command as a workaround

Upgraded two servers from 6.7.2, checked the logs, no issues to report. One server was bare metal, the other is a VM. The VM booted fine, everything passed thru as expected.

@SpencerJ question: Looking back from where Limetech began in 2005, what's been the most rewarding part of the journey over the years for Tom personally?
