hi guys,

 

no matter which drive I use, the copy process times out and gives me an error. copying from USB to the drives is no problem. what is going on? did not change a thing.

permissions on the drives are fine (RW).

 

best wishes.

Start by posting the diagnostics after a failed copy.

thanks for your quick reply. there you go:

Nothing logged that I can see, can you copy over SMB from a different device, like your phone for example, if there's no other PC.

will try in 10 minutes to copy from laptop to unraid.

even from another computer, the result is the same. it does not copy over. it wakes up the disk, but does not copy no matter which disk I use.

no problem copying over USB. so SMB seems to be broken. reading is fine, but writing does not work at all. permissions to the drives are OK (R/w).

Enable the flash drive share and see if you can copy something there.

flash share as in USB drive connected to unraid server? that works fine.

OK, now try creating a new Unraid share and see if that works.

every drive has already been shared. how to create one if I already have everything shared?!

Apparently, @naddel81 has only enabled Disk Shares under   Settings >>>>  Global Share settings.   Unfortunately, the Diagnostic file does not post up information about disk shares-- that I could find.

 

Go to the SHARES Tab and get a screen shot of the portion of that tab:

done

I just did a 100GB file read, no problem. But writing to any disk from any device is not possible over network. 

run the TOOL      New Permissions       on disks and select each disk manually except for the cache.

I did new permissions on every disk. problem is still: I can copy internally using the unraid file manager without a problem. but as soon as I WRITE data to the SMB, it does time out.

reading from SMB is not a problem. permissions are fine. disks are fine. I have no idea what is going on. network card broken maybe? cable was already replaced, was not the problem.

Looks more like an external issue to me, but you can still create a new share to test.

how to test if every drive is already shared? delete and share again?

Creat e a new user share, it doesn't need to be a disk share.

Make sure that the MTU is 1500 bytes for the computers involved.  (No Jumbo frames...)

 

If that does not work, tell us what OS the client computer is using.

 

Another thing to try is to reboot all switches and the router.  Also move the cables from both the server and client to  new ports on the switch(s).

I did disable jumbo frames on my network adapter and restarted the client OS (windows 10) to see the problem gone. I am getting 50-60MB write speeds now (because of parity, I guess) and can navigate to other drives while transfer without lock ups.

 

thanks so much. why is jumbo frames ON per default?

It's not.
