Disk Rebuild Slow; Unable to Update Containers

[ingeniero]

Hello,

 

Attached are my diagnostics.

 

I am having two issues. One is with a new SATA PCIe card and a disk rebuild.

 

I installed a new PCIe card: https://www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/10p6g-pcie-sata-card

 

I moved my array sata cord to the StarTech card, and I had one disk come up as failed. I ran SMART tests on it, and came back with no errors. I ended up starting to do a rebuild on the same disk, but it is going incredibly slow, 30-40 MB/s (occasional spikes to 60 or 70). I don't think this is normal, does anyone have any insight?

 

Also, I know that the drive definitely was the thing with the error, as I rotated positions on the sata cables on my array drives and the same HDD came back with errors.

 

Also, when I try to update or edit  containers, I get an error saying "Configuration not found. Was this container created using this plugin?"

 

I found the DockerMan config in the flash drive, but it seems that the templates (for whatever reason) got corrupted:

 

 

Should I just restore this from a recent backup of my flash drive? The "unifi-network-application" template there does work. I had to delete and redownload the container, as it would not start when I rebooted the server for whatever reason. This template does allow me to edit and pull updates.

 

TL;DR

 

1. Slow disk rebuild - normal, or issue?

2. Seem to have lost docker container templates - something wrong, or should I just restore flash from backup?

 

Thanks in advance!

You will always get bad performance with that SATA card as it uses port multipliers to get all those ports which severely limits throughput when multiple drives are simultaneously active..    Cards with port multipliers are not recommended for use with Unraid for exactly that reason.

What is the issue with port multipliers? The product listing says 6Gbps. Do we know the source of the incompatibility? I am trying to avoid using an expensive/hot LSI card, are there any other options?
