    Help Needed: Slow UI, Plex Buffering, and High CPU Usage on Unraid NAS

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by takkkkkkk

    I'm looking for assistance with some challenging issues I've been facing with my recently set up Unraid NAS. Here's a breakdown of the problems:

     

    • Slow UI Response: Anytime I try to make an edit to docker / app, there's a considerable delay, ranging from 2 to 5 minutes. During this time, I am completely locked out of the UI, which is quite frustrating.
    • Plex Buffering Issues: I'm experiencing constant buffering on Plex, and it's not limited to high-resolution content. This happens with both 4K and 1080p videos. I primarily use a Shield for streaming, and the buffering issue persists irrespective of the video quality.
    • High CPU Usage: I've noticed that thread 0 of my CPU is often maxed out at 100% for extended periods. This seems unusual and could be related to the issues above.

    To address these, I've isolated CPU threads 0 and 16, and pinned all Docker containers and VMs (including Home Assistant) to avoid using these threads. However, this hasn't resolved the issues.

     

    I've attached my diagnostic file for a more in-depth look into my setup. Any insights, suggestions, or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to resolve these issues and get my unraid running smoothly.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    is it safe to move files from /user/ to /user0/?

    Not really safe as user includes the contents of user0 (which is array disks only).   Make a mistake and any files you try to move will end up being truncated to 0 size leading to data loss.    You could try moving from /mnt/cache to /mnt/user0 - that would be safe as by definition those two locations are mutually exclusive.

     Would it be unsafe to move between user to a different folder within user0?

    how to enable Win 11 Secure Boot on OVMF TPM enabled bios?

    The tutorial refers to mount the img disk in the host (unraid). In linux in general, you create an empty folder and you mount the img inside that folder (the mounting point): files on the disk will be shown inside the mounting point, and you will have read/write permissions.

    If you mount the img in windows I think you will have only read permissions, but I may be wrong.

    thank you, how do I know if I have successfully mounted? I have typed below in the terminal, and I didn't get any returns...

      

    root@ZEUS:~# mount /mnt/aegis/domains/test/vdisk.img /mnt/aegis/domains/test/test/

    Yes, unraid terminal (mount is a linux command)

    Not sure I understood..the vdisk has to be saved somewhere that could be accessed by the host (unraid) with read/write permissions.

    To see if your share folder "works" try to access it with the cd command in the unraid terminal (cd /path/to/the/share) and try to create a file (touch test.txt).

    If it doesn't work, choose another folder or fix what it doesn't work.

    I'm used to simple windows ways where mounting an image/iso would mean windows would simply create "C:" or "D:" so that I can access it, I never thought of being asked of "where do you want to mount to", it just doesn't really click to me that it wouldn't automatically get mounted as another unassigned devices. Once it gets mounted, does it act as folder within share? this concept seems really unusual to me...

    It's not, read carefully, there are files attached ready to be used, or alternatively instructions to build yours.

     

    Hi, thank you so much for the instruction, although it is relatively simple to follow, there are some instructions where I'm having issues following.. when you say mount the vdisk, where do you plug in below code?

    terminal?

    where would "/path/to/mount/" be, could it be any folder within a share? I tried mounting it via adding the vdisk in windows, but it didn't work... 

    mount /path/to/vdisk.img /path/to/mount/

     

    Do you ever feel like you want to have a fresh start but have way too much data/dependencies?

    Neither. Build a new box and start learning while slowly transitioning things. Granted, it may be a while before you can justify the added cost, but it will happen sooner or later that you will need new parts anyway, so why not keep the old services in place while adding functionality at your own pace to the new box.

     

    When you get done you will have the old power hog you can use as an occasionally on backup box, and the new shiny energy efficient box as your always on machine.

    That may be true, but I love my GA-7pesh2 though, I haven't been able to find right alternative to it.

    Having no background in ITPro, I've found immense value in videos from creators like ibracorp and Spaceinvader One. They provide just enough guidance to help me navigate the complexities. Despite their help, I often find myself confused about what exactly is happening under the hood especially when it comes to networking or authnetication. For instance, I'm using cloudflared, and while I believe it's set up correctly, I'm unsure about which aspects are default Unraid configurations and which ones I've modified.

    Considering the new ZFS compatibility and the fact that I've maxed out my 24 drive bays, I've contemplated starting over. I want to understand the rationale behind my actions—distinguishing between what I need to do and what I do merely because there's a tutorial available.

    However, I'm hesitant because of the numerous dependencies likes files, HA VM, videos, and Windows/Linux VMs. I'm unsure of the potential issues that might arise if I decide to "redo" everything.

    I'm at a crossroads. What should I do next? Do you have any recommendations? Should I just rip off the band-aid, expecting to rough it until I've reconfigured everything, or should I adopt a hands-off approach, maintaining my server's current state and only intervening when something breaks?

    Unraid Paid Support Now Available

    I thought it was a fantastic idea until I saw the rate.... $150/hr.

    Gotta feeling if you're having so much trouble you can't fix, it probably won't get fixed within an hour and may lead to other complications even if it appears to be fixed... Wonder if it's gonna be some sort of SLA with estimate, time, etc.... It's probably for those who are running unraid for corporate environment...

    VPN Issue: Wireguard client on W11 / Android says connected, unraid shows Last handshake: not received

    Posted · Edited by takkkkkkk

    I'm trying to access my home network, but I cannot seem to be able to us built in VPN. I have activated it, port forwarded 51820.

    Nothing seems to work, on clients, both on android and windows, it shows "activated", sending, but not receiving. 

     

    Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot?

    Remote access to unraid via myservers work, if that helps...

    ZFS ONE Pool vs. xfs multiple pools for different purposes

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by takkkkkkk

    My current unraid has multiple xfs pooled devices for different purposes. For example, I have 1 devices dedicated to hosting plex meta data, another for incomplete download, cache, VM, etc. 

    with integration of zfs in the new unraid version, I'm thinking if I should overhaul and convert them into one multi-purpose ZFS pool. 

    Is there any "cons" of doing it? Last time I tried one multi-functioning pooled drives with BTRFS, it was constantly getting locked because the pool was being leveraged by other functions (usenet unpack/download cache, etc)

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the video.

     

    So, it's official then (starting at 2:26:52):

    "...team headed by two long-time Tech veterans who recently completed an eight-year stint at Unraid..."

    Yeah, the way he phrased it, it makes it sound like more modern and friendly approach to NAS solution, possibly an evolution of unraid without the need of historical compatibilities. Looks to be quiet interesting if that's the case

    Back in December in the linked below video Linus has mentioned his decision to invest $250K of his own money into a new "user-friendly" NAS software that is based on an existing product.

    Are we talking of the same clip or do you have a more recent announcement?

    He hasn't mentioned any names at that time but it's been pretty much assumed that the project is being worked by former Unraid employees.

     

     

     

    Here is the video where he confirms the investment is being developed by two former employees. I thought it was framework, but that was misunderstanding. It sounds like a new company

    Was just listening to LMG, he mentioned of a new Nas project being created by former unraid staffs in framework. 

    I don't know how true it is, but he mentioned those staffs were mainly responsible for modernization of unraid. Pretty much everything I like about unraid over other Nas products. 

     

    Any thoughts / info on what he's referring? Tried searching online but couldn't find much info....
