So this problem is a weird one.

 

I am having an issue where if I am copying data to or from any share or directly from one disk to another that my systems comes to a holt.   During file movement if you click on the Dashboard you will see that at least 4 of my cores are red and maxed out with the others over half usage.   This blows my mind as when copying data to or from a share or disk should have no usage of the CPU.   During this time the main plex page is sluggish and you are not able to use plex as nother plays but instead just sits there and spins.

 

My setup is a 

Intel i9 10900k

16GB Ram

netapp 24 disk shelf connected to a LSI card

 

I have attached the Diagnostics to the thread and I greatly appreacite anyones support.

CPU graph on the dashboard includes i/o wait, check htop during the transfer.

Yeah this doesn't add up at all.   If I stop the transfer everything goes to normal.   Here is a screenshot during a file transfer.

 

 

CPU usage on htop looks normal, some usage is expected, dash looks exaggerated because of the i/o wait, has for what's causing the problem northing jumps out in the diags, though it's been known to happens to some, if you connect two devices to the onboard SATA and transfer from one to another do you see the same?

I installed NetData and as you can see my CPU is spiking during a file transfer.   Why would the CPU be touched for data movement?

I haven't done this yet but not a bad idea.   Maybe this weekend I will try this out and see what happens.  Thanks for you input and help.
