As in painfully slow. 2 MB/s slow. Unraid set-up, now wanting to transfer files across network

 

Is it because I have ASUS M4A78LT-M LE motherboard, which doesn't have onboard NIC?

 

1) Syslog attached

 

2) The PC I'm transfering from is an intel core 2 duo cpu, p8400 @ 2.26 ghz, 4gb ram, 32 bit operating system

 

3) Connection is - O2 Wireless router plugged in to gigabit switch, with tower plugged in. Computer is upstairs, hooked up using 200mbps homeplugs

 

4) HDDs are only being accessed to transfer stuff over

Hi,

 

Probably need more info than what you are giving, like calling the mechanic up and saying that my car isn't running what is wrong with it.

 

1) Syslog

2) Hardware, both transferring PC and unraid

3) Network connection, wired/wireless speed.

4) ARe the HDDs being accessed at the same time.

Shouldn't make a difference. I run an intel PCI card on my motherboard.

I see this errors on your syslog which is related to your cache drive. I think the slow writes are related to your cache drive not working properly.

 

Are the shared folders that you are writing to have "Use cache disk" enabled? Try setting "Use Cache Disk" to NO on one of your shared folders, copy files to it and see the transfer rate improve.

Still no joy, I hadn't even selected the drive to use as a cache yet

Ok, well it's not the NAS tower that's the problem then. Just moved the tower to the bedroom and I'm now seeing speeds of around 35mbps. So, it something to do with my network then
