I noticed the same thing too. At first I thought - "oh these are the drives located on the back side of my Supermicro SC847 server case." But the disk numbers from speeddisk do not correspond with the Drive numbers of my array. I am trying to figure out my Drive Number vs Port Number vs Disk Number in Speed Disk. I don't think they are the same.

Here are the results from my controller test. Controller Speed Test.pdf

Attached are my diagnostics. I will start running the diskspeed app now. Just can't figure out why things don't run much faster than I think they should. I thought I got the most robust system possible for my unraid setup. 4 days to do a parity check is too long. tower-diagnostics-20240702-2234.zip

I have a supermicro 847 case with Supermicro X11DPH-T main board. I have approximately 26 drive bays in use using the AOC-S3008L-L8e card. My biggest drives are 20TB - with 2 20TB parity drives, several 20TB data drives along with 10 or so 18TB drives and the smallest drives in my system are 8TB. (356TB total space) I just did a New Config and Parity Sync that took nearly 4 days! The average speed was around 58MB/Sec but periods where it was running at 86-88MB/Sec. On my old server with as many drives (but smaller) - I remember speeds around 125MB/Sec. What could the issue be? Why is everything running so slowly? Do I have too many drives? Is my controller card ok? I bought the system off ebay - here is the original link - https://www.ebay.com/itm/134240978762 I run ESXI Vmware and Unraid is a VM. Maybe there is an issue somewhere in there? Appreciate any help. Thank you

STOP option when a transfer is running. Can someone tell me what exactly happens when you stop a file transfer? What happened if you stop in the middle of a large file - does. Does the incomplete file get deleted and the original file stay where it was? I am not sure exactly how the process works. I have had some issues where users are streaming via plex and a file transfer is making playback stutter. Stopping the process fixes plex but what happenes to the files that were being transferred?

I have a Norco 4224 with Super Micro X9SCM-F, Intel Xeon(R) CPU E31270, 32GB Ram - running ESXI 7.0. I run a couple VMs- 2 windows machines (one for downloading) and an unraid server. I have 24 drives populated on the server and as I need space I have been pulling smaller drives out and replacing them with bigger drives. The 24 drives are attached via SAS 3008 controller (each supporting 8 drives). I use a couple of the on board Sata ports for the ESXI OS and Datastores. I recently got an Intel NUC 12 Extreme i9 to run my Plex server - and to handle any 4k transcoding. It came with a 10GB ethernet. I have unifi aggregation switch. I added an intel X540 dual port 10Gbe switch to my server (in the 4th PCI slot). I am not getting speeds from my VM's any faster than 1GB. I passed through one of the 10gbe ports to my unraid - and I am getting 3-4gbe speeds from my Intel Nuc to Unraid. But sustained read speeds at barely over 1gbe. (when transferring a file from unraid to my intel nuc). I think the issue is that my Motherboard / CPU combo has become outdated and my PCIe slots can't handle the bandwidth. Does anyone have any good recommendations for upgrade? I don't need to do any transcoding on the server - at least not part of my plan. I would like a motherboard that supports 10GBe networking, can run ESXI 7.0 with a few VM's - and support the higher throughput from my SAS 3008 cards. As for the case - I am open to upgrading the whole case to something more robust. Appreciate any suggestions.

So far so good! Thank you so much!!!!!

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I would like parity check to run once every 2 months - start at 11:30PM each night and run for 12 hours till about 11:30am - then repeat until the whole process is finished. I have attached what all my settings are. Right now parity seems to start around 10pm and stops every night at 12:30am. I have 18TB drives - so at this pace - it will probably take 3 months to finish a parity check. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you so much! Renaming that secrets file has got me back online. Still dealing with slower than normal transfer rates. But I am making progress again.

Ok. I can’t even find this file to rename / delete it.

The computers that were the source was a windows 10 VM running on an ESXi Server. yes shares were mapped - this is my fault. I have since turned off that VM. I deleted every encrypted file from unraid that I could find. I will look into that secrets suggestion. Thank you so much for the response - I will report back later.

I was hit with with a ransomware virus. Phobos. They wanted $20K USD to decrypt everything. Over 15 years of data lost. I am not paying that. I have started the process of restoring what I have from backups and downloading stuff again. But I was so worried about my server still being infected. Data transfers were painfully slow - only 20mb/s. I removed the parity drive and it got up to 38mb/s. But back before this virus I was able to transfer to 110mb/s to my cache drive and much faster than 20-38mb/s to non-cached shares. So I became worried maybe there was still a virus.... I found a post there this command was to be run: docker run --name ClamAV -v /mnt/user:/scan:ro tquinnelly/clamav-alpine -i I did it - it did some stuff. But suddenly all my drives and shares started disappearing and reappearing. I did a shutdown and rebooted. Now all my drives and shares show up - everything looks ok. But I can't access any shares over the network. I have no idea what is going on. Where do I start - what do I do? tower-diagnostics-20221009-0702.zip

Any plans for 5.05? My old way of using the plpbt.iso does not seem to work anymore - I have to manually select the boot process each time the VM ever needs to be restarted. Currently running 5.05 and anxious to give this a try. Thanks!
