    High Network Usage When Idle

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by avp2306

    Quick update and thanks to everyone who replied. Since everything possibly connecting to UnRaid was shut down, I figured it must have been UnRaid itself. I did some checking / tinkering with UnRaid's Network Settings and disabled both Bonding and Bridging. I think both of these settings were enabled by default after install as I kept most settings as they were. I only have 1 network adapter on this machine, so figured it was not necessary. 

     

    After disabling both Bonding and Bridging settings, Inbound went down to 19 Kbps and Outbout to 4 Kbps. I'm assuming these non zero values could be attributed to Web UI being opened - pl. correct me if I'm wrong here and if Inbound & Outbound should be zero or close to it. 

     

    Posting my Network Settings below for reference - pl. let me know if anything else should be changed / optimized. I'm using MELLANOX CONNECT X-2 PCI-E 10G SFP+ network card.

    The /system/lsof.txt file shows the following activity over SAMBA (smbd) where user mediauser has 36 file updates running over a local IPV4 connection and there's other updates happening over a local IPV6 connection

    Thanks, useful to know how to read that. That was my PLEX VM which runs on another machine. I just shut down PLEX and all other machines that connected to UnRaid but problem still remains, constant Inbound 17.6 Mbps.

     

    What else can I try? 

    High Network Usage When Idle

    Seeing very high, unexplained inbound network traffic, eth0 shows constant inbound 17.6 Mbps and outbound ~7 Kbps. CPU usage is always 2-3%. I have no VMs, no Dockers, all disks are spun down, Active Streams shows empty, I'm the only user, server is idle 99% of the time. Running latest version of UnRaid, all plugins / apps have been updated. Log shows no errors. 

     

    I'm also running a Network Stats plugin which shows network usage over time, and every hour the machine is receiving exactly 7.35 GB. Why? This is so weird.. See screenshot:

    So this has me worried about what's happening, the machine should be completely idle. Please help me understand what's going on and how to resolve this. Thanks!

     

    Power Efficient, Storage Only CPU + Motherboard Recommendation

    I just (yesterday) built a new UNRAID server using an Athlon 200GE and a Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard.  Everything runs super smooth and even some a few dockers for torrent/zerotier and power draw and heat dissipation are minimal.  CPU rarely spikes above 50% use even during intense transfer sessions.  

     

    I couldn't be happier.  

     

    p.s.  I use a separate machine to run ProxMox and that has many containers/VM's there.

    Thanks for sharing. I was considering AMD until I realized that most motherboards have PCI lane limitations and I wanted more flexibility for upgrades and went with Intel instead, settled on Pentium G5400. Without PCI cards & HDD's entire system consumes ~21W on idle with a 500W Bronze rated PSU, also using full featured SLI motherboard + 16GB RAM.

     

    Curious what power draw you're seeing from 200GE. It was one of the CPU's I was considering.

    Fan Control on DELL

    in User Customizations

    Posted · Edited by avp2306

    Need some help controlling fan speeds on a DELL motherboard. I know that this board can have software controlled fans, under Windows I can run SpeedFan successfully. 

     

    I tried Dynamix Fan Control plugin, but it does not find / detect PWM controller - I'm not sure if there's a way to manually add drivers.

     

    I also tried to follow this guide to manually create a script but running pwmconfig command returns:

    There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed.

     

    sensors-detect command returns the following

    # Chip drivers
    modprobe coretemp
    modprobe jc42

     

    What else can I try? Any way to load up drivers for Dynamix Fan Control?

    Dynamix - V6 Plugins

    Running UnRaid 6.6.7 on DELL T3500 and having an issue setting up Fan Auto Control plugin.

     

    When I go into settings for the plugin and hit 'DETECT' for 'PWM Fan' nothing happens, also the 'PWM Controller' drop down says 'none'.

     

    I know this motherboard does have a PWM controller, in Windows I'm able to run SpeedFan and have software controlled fans. 

     

    What else can I try to get the plugin to work?

     

    Thanks. 

    How To Mirror Data on 2 Separate Drives Within Array

    in General Support

    Posted · Edited by avp2306

    I'm considering the following UnRaid setup and need a recommendation on how to achieve this as well as some opinions / comments from experienced users.

     

    Parity:

             6TB Drive 

    Array:

             3 x 2TB Drives for data (Shares will point to these 3 drives)

             + 6TB USB Drive to mirror data (Not selected in any Shares)

     

    This may be an uncommon setup, and some folks may say it's redundant but hear me out. My data will fit on 3x 2TB drives, I can setup Shares to use only these 3 drives and I'm OK having UnRaid balance the files and store data whichever way it prefers.

     

    However I do want another copy of all of my data on a single 6TB USB drive, this way I can always have access to my data on a single drive, outside of UnRaid, just in case. I also want this USB drive to be protected by parity. 

     

    What would be a good way to achieve this?
