Tested with a USB 2.5gb NIC, (which was also tested ok on another machine)
same behavior - 2gbs up to the server (inbound) -- 1gbs down.
This looks like an Unraid issue...
-
Updated them all that fixed it, although i didn't check because im sure it said it was updating everything prior to the update and that's what i had to wait for before restarting. nevermind, all good now thank you

iperf testing doesn't involve devices, hence why it's a good bandwidth test, and the problem usually must be in NIC (or NIC driver/settings), cable, switch, etc
thanks, but it hits 2.5 when sending too Unraid, when going from unraid i can see it hit a 1gb wall. I've tested the switch (same port) and cables on another 2.5 device and got full speed.
the Unraid NIC Is receiving 2.5 fine, and capping out at 1gb sending, i can't see that many settings to change in Unraid, and i've tried the community drivers here

Updated to 6.12.8 - Waited for the notification to tell me it was ok to reboot.
Now there is no version number next to my Unraid Logo
Update OS and Downgrade OS are blank
All help items are always fully expanded on everything
everything seems to be working ok, VMs, Docker etc..
Diags attached

2.5gbe Nic (unraid) -> 2.5gbe switch -> 2.5gbe Nic (Windows)
It looks like i am only get 2.5gb up to the server, and not down
testing from SSD to SSD
both with Iperf 3 testing and copying a large file shows the same.
diags attached, i don't know what i'm doing wrong
Edit: Updated to 6.12.8, installed the community driver, tried disabling bridging - no change

I am in the process of setting up a redundant mobile data network.
The idea is to have a 4G router, and connect smart plugs to it so I can reboot the main router and modem remotely if the main internet goes out or if the main router goes stupid.
It would also be nice If I could connect to the Unraid Server via the backup 4G network also.
I have 2 ethernet ports on the server, can I connect to what is essentially 2 Lans, at the same time?
Why don’t I just use a some kind of WAN failover solution?
Well this is kind of it, but WAN failover has never worked reliably for me, like this morning the internet was down, but it was still able to Ping google, so the failover WAN didn’t work. The above is much more robust, even if more complicated
-
I remembered to grab my diags this time, its just done it again

I have restarted to bring them back, do i need to wait until it happens again?
-
Apologies, attached

Over the past 6 months User shares have been disappearing periodically. Normally about twice a month.
I'm not sure exactly when it happens, but a full restart brings them all back.
But it did happen today and i have todays log (below)
How can i start diagnosing what is causing it? Or what is likely to be the culprit?
Version: 6.9.2

I am getting reads on all of the disks in my array every few seconds, preventing them from spinning down.
The reads are only a few kbs
I have looked with the open files plugin and no files appear to be open.
I stopped all VMs, no change.
I stopped all docker containers, no change.
I stopped the docker service, this seemed to fix it.
Having docker running with no containers causes the micro reads across all drives again, in the main array and the cache
I have attached diags

Bumping as I found this on Google, i was to use multiple GPUs for emby, GTX970 for h.264 and GTX1050 for h.265 there's no point in the 1050 doing all the when there are multiple streams, some of which the 970 would happily do.

Hi, if i run this with Network Type: Bridge I can connect to my MQTT Server and send messages, but the harmony hub doesn't see the the HABridge
If i run it with Network Type: Custom br0 192.168.1.20 it is found and connects fine to the harmony hub but wont sent MQTT messages

Unless you have an industrial grade UPS with additional battery packs, that is not a good strategy. Most consumer level battery backups are sized in such a way that running them for more than 10 minutes or so drains the batteries to the point that long term battery health is negatively impacted.
You need to accurately measure the draw with your server at full power with all services running on your UPS, find the runtime chart for your specific model, and plot how many minutes until 50% battery depletion.
That's how long you have to fully shut down your server with brand new fully charged batteries. Then you need to put your server into the typical use configuration, and trigger an unattended shutdown. Time how long it takes for all the VM's and containers to shut down, all the disks to spin up, and the array to fully and properly stop and power down.
Most rigs really should be triggering a shutdown after 3-5 minutes of the power loss in order to keep from dipping below the 50% mark on battery. If the power comes back on, then back off shortly after, you need enough power reserve in an emergency to shut down a second time before the batteries have a chance to recover. Typical recharge rates are 10 to 20 times longer than the time on battery, so if you discharged to 10 minutes, it's likely to be 2 hours before the batteries have recovered.
This is very helpful thank you, and thinking about it there is no real benefit to server or Home Assistant staying online during a power cut, as I wouldn’t be able to use anything anyway.
Looking at getting a 1400va. Currently have a 7 year old 700va.
I did think about having 2nd UPS on the TV, but after all the calculations (based on what I think is a reasonable cost) I might get 20 minutes of runtime. Which doesn’t seem worth worrying about.
I will get a 2nd 1400va UPS so I can still run network equipment and POE / DVR Security cameras for an hour or so. (60 watts total). That seems like a better plan.
Thanks again
-
That's awesome thank you. The idea is, when the UPS goes on battery. to shutdown most VMs and Dockers and to spin down disks (ideally with no I/O activity or set their spin down time to a few minutes) to maximize the amount of time the server can stay on battery for.
-
Is there a way to spin up all disks? or call a user script to do it?

I download cracked versions of every game i purchase, for archiving. I want be able to have to option in 20 years, to play the game I purchased today, even if it's long after the store is gone.

Just signed in and noticed all of my libraries are gone and if I got to make a library it asks me to install Plex media server?
-
As the title says, i am scared to touch anything, please tell me what i should do next

Closest you can get is hourly itll run (or even say every 10 minutes if you set a force move custom cron)
Sent from my NSA monitored device
Ah thanks, I'll keep it set to overnight, as the mover always messes up my Kodi playback. (I can't change the Kodi cache, but that's a different Problem)
Is it possible to limit the speed, only write to the array at 4mbs for example.
-
is it possible to move files immediately after they have finished writing? (like a physical HDD cache?)
So it can write to cache (fast) then trickle feed it to array. keeping the cache empty and only using it as, well, a a cache for new files?

I know this is an old thread but it still ranks on Google.
My setup is
I have a 4K TV in the living room that runs Kodi DSplayer 17.1 with madVR this uses the GPU to upscale everything to 4K.
I use Plex for other rooms, remote viewing and sharing.
I have 2 instances of Raddar, Main and HD1080
And Radarr sync
The main instance of Raddar grabs the best quality (up to (4K) this keeps 4K in one place and works great for Kodi
The 2nd instance only downloads 1080p and save in a folder called "Plex only Media"
I have added the Plex only folder to Plex but not included it on Kodi.
When i download a film with a 4K profile on Main, Radarrsync with download the 1080 version automatically and put it in the Plex folder.
That way Plex has 4K and 1080p and will automatically transcode the 1080 version if needed. And Kodi will have 4K only. Plex handles multiple versions much better thank Kodi.

There are writes going on to the array during the check, large slowdown is expected.
Thank you but all of those issues happen when I am not running a parity check
When copying from share to share, it started at 800+ MBs then went down to 150 now just fluctuates between 5MBs
-
I am getting inconsistent read speeds from my Unraid server, and as such having issues with media playback.
I am certain the network is ok, as this is same hardware that was running a windows 10 machine, which would saturate gigabit.
copying a 10GB file will start at about 1MB/s the increase to about 95MB/s for maybe 30 seconds then drop to below 1MB/s for about a minute and fluctuate back and forth.
The Destination PC is has an SSD and 32GB RAM so it's not bottlenecking there.
The same is happening when I perform a check on the 10TB parity drive, fluctuates sometimes telling me it will take 22 days to complete.
I am not getting any high CPU or RAM usage on the server RAM is at 8% CPU load 5%-20%
i7-4770 @ 3.40GHZ
32GB DDR3
Please help
Video 1 - Copy / Read
Video 2 - Parity check
Edit 2:
This also happens when copying from share to share.
Speed is maxed out 150mbs+ then stops, zero for about half a minute, then full speed, then slow.

Not Getting full speed from 2.5gb NIC

Sorry for wasting your time turns out it was the NIC on my testing PC.
The ethernet cable is routed from the PC to the right of the room, moved it to the left to test on another PC all working fine, move it back to the right, to connect to the unraid server, get issues.
Must but a loose connection in my NIC the weight of the cable when it goes to the right is enough to make it run slow. URGH.
Not only that, iperf is wildly off, Test with iperf on other machines still hitting that 1gbps wall, but it I do a basic file transfer to or from windows to or from the server, it's full speed. That's not what's happening in iperf URGH again
Thank you for your patience.
That was a pain to diagnose
