I re-upgraded to 6.8.1 again tonight to see if I can figure out the cause of the speed drop but came up empty. I turned on disk shares and tested it and noticed that the transfer speed to the cache disk share remained the same on both 6.7.2 and 6.8.1 at around 700-750MB/s. So whatever the issue is, it seems like the user share transfer was the only one that was hit with this approximately 200+ MB/s drop.
My Unraid server 10G network hardware :
- 1 Mellanox ConnectX-2 PCIe x8 NIC 10G Dual Port Server Adapter 81Y1541
- 2 Avago AFBR-703ASDZ-E2 10GbE Ethernet 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Transcievers
- 2 5m LC-LC OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch cables
My Client PC 10 G network hardware :
- 1 MNPA19-XTR 10GB MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 PCI-E 10G SFP+ NETWORK CARD
- 1 10G SFP+ DAC Cable - 10GBASE-CU Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax SFP Cable
Everything is connected to a MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+ with 8 SFP+ 10Gbps Ports running SwitchOS
The above setup have been working fine for the past 2 years and nothing was changed when the upgrade to 6.8.1 was done. I've tested without going through the Microtik switch and also with just using the 2 fiber patch cables instead of the Twinax and same result.
