Help with Slow Parity Sync


Go to solution Solved by JorgeB,

Hi everyone,

 

I bought recently a new drive with 8TB to use as parity (until now, my unraid server had no parity)

Well, I mounted it, and started the parity sync.

 

The speed of parity sync is, in my opinion, really bad, around 35MB/Sec, which will take days to finish.

 

I've read some posts and did some changes (disabled VM manager and docker, and assure that cache write was turned on).

 

Now, when I start the parity sync, it goes fine (around 170MB/Sec) until aprox. 8%.

At this moment, the speed drops to 35MB/Sec.

 

I've identified that at the beginning, the disks are rarely written.

When the speed drops, the disk 2 (sdd) is written almost every second.

 

You can find attached the diagnostics, and a print screen of my array.

 

Anyone can give me some hints on how to speed up things?

Hi JorgeB.

 

I've already received the new disk and now it is way better.

It completed the parity sync in 18h and 30m at an average speed of 120mb/s.

My parity drive has 8TB.

 

Do you think that those values are good, or is there any improvement to do?

 

Thank you.
