November 24, 201114 yr Hello guys, I am hoping you can help with something. I am new to all of this. I have just built my 12 bay server. The server is running just fine. However I am having some trouble putting data on tower. This is basicaly a media server for all my blu ray movies. My transfer speeds will not go above 11mbs. From all the reading I have been doing this is way to slow. See screen shot. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. SYS LOG syslog-2011-11-24.txt
November 24, 201114 yr That is exactly the expected speed if any part of the networking involved is running ar 100Mb/s
November 24, 201114 yr Your syslog does not show your Link Speed but I would guess you are using a 100MB switch/hub/router in the mix or your desktop is 100MB. EDIT. Joe beat me to it. One other thing i did notice in your Syslog. Your DHCP is set to look for a new IP every 10 min. you might want to make that a bit longer and set a static ip on the unRIAD server or set a reservation on dhcp the server to keep from loosing the connection.
November 24, 201114 yr It's worth checking that the PC you are transfereing files from (I assume a PC, but could be something else) has good / current network drivers installed. I have on a couple of occasions had drivers that initially connect at 1000Mbits/sec but after some time drop down to 100, while still reporting that they are at 1000 with indicator lights and so on.

I had notice this myself, I have changed my sttings but I was in the middle of a preclear so I have to wait to reboot. I have a crappy 2wire from att. I am pretty sure that is the problem. Whats a good router that you guys would recommend.
November 25, 201114 yr pick up one of these and piggyback it off the att POS http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=16798.0
November 26, 201114 yr Author Well guys I added a gigibit switch but it didnt do any good. I checked into my laptop and it will ony support 100mbs, so I guess I am screwed.
November 26, 201114 yr ~Slams head on desk~ well, you are future-proofed now! Now you know what to ask for for Christmas
November 26, 201114 yr Yes I do and I allready got yelled at. She will give in. not quite! http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Adapter/dp/B003VSTDFG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1322297954&sr=8-3 gigabit usb (not sure how good it is) you can also get gigabit pc card slots as well.

I forgot about those things. I have a couple of Cisco ones from work.. i have never tried them. they are just in my parts box... hrmm my netbook is 10/100 (but the N is 300Mb)..
November 26, 201114 yr Forget wireless-N. 300Mb is never really 300Mb. I have used one of these in the past to get more speed... http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F5D5055-Gigabit-Network-Adapter/dp/B000FOWHTI ...but have not tried it with unRAID - I used it with an old VIA board under Debian Etch.
November 28, 201114 yr Author Just ordered me a new PC with all the bells. Can wait for it to get here.
