Hello,

 

I have just installed my Unraid using the latest v.5 beta.

I have checked my ethernet speed on the Unraid server and it is 1Gb FullDuplex.

I also have a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro running at 1Gb FullDuplex.

Both are connected to a 1Gb switch.

If I write big files to my Readynas the speed is great and in relation with the ethernet speed.

But if i try to copy files from my Readynas to the Unraid the speed is more like 100Mb.

 

What have gone wrong?

Or is it a limitation of Unraid?

 

Thank you

 

I have just built an unraid server and I am finding it very slow writing data to any of the drives I have even added a cache drive and it is still slow. The average seems to be about 11mb/second. But can drop to 3 or 4 mb/second

I am able to play my media fine on my wd tv live but copying any data seams so slow.

I am new to unraid so I don’t know how to check the configuration so any tips and advice would be very welcome. Buy the way when I copy to my pc I get about 60mb/second

 

My system

Asus P5GV-MX

3GB PENTIUM 4 soc 775

1GB RAM

I GIGABIT PCI Network Card

Netgear Gigabit switch and 1 gigabit card in my windows 7 pc

3x wd 2TB EARS sata

1X Maxtor SATA cache drive

Unraid server plus5.0 8c

 

I really would like to know how to get this working to the best speed possible.

I am using a beta so maybe I would have been better off using an older version, also I tried to copy and paste my log file but it said it was to big.

 

here is my system log, means nothing to me!

system_log.txt

Same problem here.

Seems that since updating from 5.0beta6a to 5.0beta9 something has changed.

Maybe i try to revert back today to see if it is better with the old Version.

What hardware and a syslog.

 

Most of the time we'll need a little more info to help. I think there is something in the wiki about what to post for trouble shooting.

Please do not take all that discussion there.  I understand there may be an issue, but I would prefer to not clog that thread to heavily.

Got your point, but may it be possible to merge the two threads here in this forum so we could discuss it here?

 

By the way i looked through the three syslogs i have out of the threads regarding that issue (of nsp24, Concorde Rules and my own) and what i see is that in all the syslogs the r8169 ethernet driver / Nic is used.

Hi Guys,

 

What is the best option for me now, do I buy a different NIC, Wait for a software update, or go for an earlier version of unraid?

nsp24:

 

What network cards/chips do you have. Do you have both an onboard (inbuilt into the motherboard) and a PCI network card plugged in?

Hi Josh,

 

I have disabled the onboard 10/100 and installed a Micronet SP2612R 1 GIGABIT PCI which I got from Maplins

 

http://www.micronet.info/l4.aspx?series_no=5&sno=512

 

The chip is a RTL8169SC

 

It simply seems to be a driver problem. The r8169 seems to be broken in the new Kernel

Tom seems to work on an Update, until then i am back to 5.0beta6a.

 

For me there is no need changing the NIC, i just wait for the next unRaid beta.

This is the only version I have ever tried, is it hard to change to an older version? Is there any risk of losing DATA?

I have done the same steps like in the upgrade instructions from beta6a to beta9 und have not lost anything.

ok I have installed version 4.7 and it is running much better so at least i know its not my system.
