January 25, 20233 yr This is somewhat a twofold issue I'm having with my unraid server I built a few months ago. First issue: I am using qbittorrent to download files, I have a gigabit down connection, and the files will only download at full speed for maybe 15-20 seconds, before dropping to 15kbps or so. The files are downloading to a crucial p3 plus m.2 nvme drive, so I would think it should be able to sustain 1gbps writes without getting bogged down, no? When the speeds drop to 15kbps the whole server pretty much locks up, and IOWait shows high cpu usage. Is that typical of how this drive should perform? If this is the case, should I have qbittorrent pinned to not use all of the cpu cores (15-12000k), so that the rest of the system doesn't get slowed down? Secondly, I cannot get hardlinking to work in radarr and sonarr. My files are kept in /mnt/user/Media/downloads for downloads, and -arr moves them to /mnt/user/Media/Moves for movies or /mnt/user/Media/TV for tv. I have checked with "ls -l" to ensure they aren't being linked, and through the unraid terminal I can "ln" the files from /downloads to /Movies or /TV just fine. Below are the configs for my Radarr and Sonarr directories. [Sonarr /TV] [Sonarr /downloads] [Rararr /Movies] [Radarr /downloads] My understanding was that for hardlinks to work the docker app had to see the folders as in the same volume, which I thought by having them both in the /Media/ folder accomplished, but this obviously isnt working. What am I doing wrong here? (and yes I "have use hardlinks" checked in both apps) On Unraid 6.11.5 Thanks!
February 11, 20242 yr I found this thread by Googling, I had a very similar problem to your first question. It reminded me of my problems with utorrent years ago where it would lock up whenever I added a new torrent. Turns out that pre-allocate all files was turned on and when I would add a new large torrent it would lock up for however long to took to write out the allocation. Taking a look at the advanced options I didn't see anything relating to file allocation but Disk queue size: 1024 kb did catch my eye. That seemed very small considering that I have 32GB of RAM so I upped it to 102400kb and restarted the torrents. It's been working now for several hours at several MB/s whereas before it would slow right down to 50 KB/s after 15-20 minutes. I would try adding a larger disk queue size to see if it helps with your issue too.
