Slow drive and super slow parity check

Featured Replies

Hello,

since I've upgraded to 6.10.1 (and then 6.10.2), parity check seems to be very slow (move from ~1.5 day at 59.8 MB/s to 6 days at 15.3 MB/s)...

 

I've looked at logs and I can see that one of the drive negotiate at low sata speed (this is the purple one in the sceenshot).

it's still "quite" fast (and not too low compared to other), so I was wondering if something else can the cause ?

Posting your system's diagnostics zip file might help us see what is going on.

Diags show writings to multiple disks, make sure nothing is writing to the array and post new diags during a check.

Nothing obvious, load average is a little high, but appears to be dropping, likely since you stopped the dockers, VMs, just to try and confirm it's not a disk you can install the systat package from nerd pack, then post the output of:

So I first did it with docker / vms enabled:

sdg is cache and sda is flash

When nothing else is running looks like it's awaiting mostly for sdb (disk4), this is not conclusive, but if you have a spare you could replace disk4 with it would be the first thing to try, the fact it's only linking at SATA1 is also strange, though that by itself doesn't explain such a low speed.

What I'll do :
* replace controller card from broadcom to LSI
* upgrade disk4 (I was planning to upgrade disk3 as it's the smallest / nearly full but let's do that ;) )

 

I'll keep you posted.

Do you prefer that I mark your proposal as "solution" or do we wait for the hardware?

Wait for the results, I'm curious myself.
