There's something else reading from disks 1, 6 and 10.

thank you @JorgeB to had a look on my diag file. How can I find what's reading the disks 1,6 and 10 ? docker & VM are off but still slow.

 

Also, do we have an explanation why a new parity check started right after the last one ended?

You might want to post the output of

cat /etc/cron.d/root

so we can check what schedule you have set for parity checks.  It is possible to get combinations of settings that can cause you symptoms.

Check is going at about 110MB/s, seems pretty reasonable.


The problem is not really the speed, it's more.. why when the check finish, a new one starts right after

Doesn't matter what you did. What matters is if Unraid knows the array was stopped before it was rebooted. 

 

Unraid records that array status on the flash drive. If shutdown times out before the array is stopped, or if that status can't be written to flash for some other reason, then it is unclean as far as Unraid knows. 

 

That reboot yesterday was unclean as indicated in your syslog.

this parity check make me crazy..  it takes weeks ! even if I stop Docker & VMs it takes days.... how other users manage that ? My firewall, so during few days I've no internet only because of this parity check...

And every time I restart my unraid, it start again a parity check... even with a clean restart. That's the case today again. What I did:

- Wait 6 days for the parity check without docker & VM & Internet

- Stop the array

- restart from Gui

- Then parity check start again

The latest diagnostics show that an unclean shutdown was still detected

Feb  8 06:31:25 NAS01  emhttpd: unclean shutdown detected

If as you say you stopped the array before the reboot then this suggests that Unraid might have had problems with writing back to the flash drive that the array had been successfully stopped.   Have you had any issues with the flash drive?
