January 28, 20224 yr For the longest time I've either had slow to open folders, menu to decide to copy/move files, transfer, and often some files transfer while others fail. I couldn't understand what was wrong and why my Win 10 VM couldn't transfer files to my unRAID shares. Solution: I was setting IPv4 Address Assignments to my VLANs and needed to set them to None. My config ... my unRAID server has a single NIC port which I've enabled bridging, assigned IPv4 Address, and pointed Default Gateway/DNS to my router IP. unRAID is connected to a Cisco 3750G switch (trunk port with specific VLANs allowed) which is then uplinked to a HP Elitedesk G2 Mini PC running pfSense with VLANs (LAN, WAN, Cellphones, Computers, Gaming, Guests, IOT, Multimedia, Security, Docker_VM, etc.) all assigned to it's single interface. Even though this is "router on a stick" with single port shared for all WAN/LAN, I've never saturated the link and needed more. That said, in unRAID, I added a few VLANs for Gaming VM, Security Camera VM, and Dockers. I added their respective VLAN ID's and tried both Static and Automatic IP assignment. While it allowed everything to function, as I mentioned previously, some files would copy to the share while some would fail, it was slow as heck, etc. The reason I was assigning it was because at one point I tried None but lost the bridges to these VLANs and figured I needed to assign IP's in order to see them. Perhaps it was some bug because I tried None again, can see the bridges just fine, and wow, no more failed files, transfer speeds are incredible, copy/move/overwrite menus pop up immediately, etc. I hope this helps somebody who's having similar issues and maybe a help note can be made on the network page to advise against this or when you would want to assign an IP. Thanks for reading!
