October 5, 20241 yr Hi, I just upgraded to Unraid 7.0.0 Update3 and wanted to clone one of my VMs for the very first time. The speed of rsync is extremely slow (90-120 MB/sec), but the VM is on my cache drive (NVME PCIE 4.0)... What could cause this? When i copy the same file within Krusader I get much faster speeds (really fast...BTW the speed during copy in Krusader was not displayed correct on Main tab for the cache) - also tried from NVME cache to SATA SSD cache in Krusader - there I also get the full around 500 MB/sec. During copy also only my 2 cache drives are utilized, no other drive on the server, that seems to be OK Also the "invalid argument" is a bit strange before start of copy of the VM file. Thanks for help.

It falls back to rsync. I will check rsync options.
