Constant rekeying between two Unraid servers with direct file transfer using scp

Featured Replies

Hello guys,

 

I am having issues when trying to transfer files from one server to another. I am not sure what the issue could be here.

I use this command scp -r -v /mnt/user/Files [email protected]:/mnt/user/files/

Every few seconds I see a file not being fully transfered and then rekeying like this:
 

scp: debug1: truncating at 758589451

Has anyone experienced something similar? I also noticed quite a few retries when using iperf3.

Cables are new to both servers with a Mikrotik CRS305 between both servers. Transceivers are used but I tried changing the cables from Fiber to DAC without seeing any difference.

Any help is appreciated :)

Do you see the same with another tool, like rsync for example?

I haven't tried rsync but since my network also seems to be very unstable I think the issue lies somewhere else.

My Mikrotik 10gig switch is plugged into a QNAP QSW switch which is then plugged into my pfsense firewall. I wonder if packets travel through these other instances slowing down my traffic? Or would they not interfer? I will investigate on the weekend and come back.
