Howdy! 

 

I am currently beating my head into a wall about a file transfer issue. I am able to download from my NAS to my Encoding Machine at full 10GB speeds. I process the file successfully on my encoding machine and push it back to my Unraid server and I get 1GB speeds at most, usually 50mbs to 120mbs a second. 

 

I have tried the following: 

Ensured both my Unraid and my encoding machine have 10GB enabled 

Ensured my Unifi Aggregate switch is set to 10GB FDX (not Auto Negotiate) 

Ensured that that both devices are on the same subnet (10.0.0.X) 

Ensured on both devices the other NICs are disabled (Unraid SV has 2 onboard NICs and Encoding machine has 1 onboard NIC) 

 

I am a little new to Unraid and I am struggling to find the issue here. I am more than happy to provide logs if needed (may need some direction on how to pull these) 

 

Thank you for your assistance! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Including screenshots of my Unraid configuration and my Unifi Config 

Start by running a single stream iperf test in both directions.

Iperf results are not great but not the current issue, unfortunately you have SMR drives in the array so not good for testing, do you have a fast disk or SSD you could use on the server to retest?

It would also be good to test with a different Windows PC to rule that one as the problem.

its currently writing to the SSDs as a cache first then writing to the array 

I dont have any other Windows PC's on the 10GB network

I know, but it would be good to test writing to different storage, in case the pool is the problem, modern disks can write at 200MB/s+, but your array is not good for testing because of the SMR parity.

Would you like to me make another Share with just the SSDs as the primary pool, and try to write to just those devices? 

That should have a similar result, but you can test with a new exclusive share to see if there's a significant difference.

Check that exclusive shares are enabled and active for that share.

Settings for the Share 

 

Writing to just the SSD is super slow 

Which Unraid release? Don't see the exclusive share setting.

I am on 6.12.4 

Did you enable exclusive shares?

I dont have that option.

Have you enabled it under Settings->Global Share Settings?

 

I have enabled it 

 

 

Still same issue 

 

 

Without testing with a different client or pool difficult to narrow down the issue.

Any other ideas on what I can try? I dont have another device on the Network that is 10GB but iperf works, so it seems to be a config issue 

Could be the pool or the client PC, if you don't have another device and since the array cannot be used for testing due to the SMR parity, can you break up the pool and test both devices individually?
