May 9, 20251 yr I'm migrating from my old Synology (4x 1GBe) NAS to a new unRAID that I'm setting up (1x 10GBe). I have plenty of data that I want to copy over. On the Synology I activated SMB Multi Channel and plugged in all 4 of the ethernet to the switch. All have separate IPs (I followed some reddit guides). For the unRAID, its a 10GBe PCIe connected by SFP+ DAC. All the connections are on the same switch. On the unRAID box, I turned on SMB multi channel in the SMB settings. The dashboard shows the 10GBe running at the 10gbps speed along with the switch showing that too. I then mounted the SMB share using unassigned devices, and tried to copy some large files over and it only goes as high as 100MB/sec. I tied it in Krusader and same thing. I'd love to get this to work. How can I get this to work? EDIT: I did a iperf3 between the Synology and unRAID and its 1gbps. When I did the iperf3 between my PC (2.5gbps) and the unRAID, I got 2.5gbps speeds. So I know the server can do over 1gbps. Edited May 9, 20251 yr by plunderisley
May 9, 20251 yr Community Expert I would recommend using ftp or sftp and transferring the files that way to guarantee file copy and full bandwidth. Without getting into to advance unraid samba config edits, this is a semi known issues that can be fixed be setting the 10 gb interface as the only unraid samba interface. (Editing unraids samba to runa manual smb conf can be a bit challenging...) Systems will auto negotiate a connection over smb and tcp/ip to guarantee file copies along with other disk and system settings such a COW (copy-on-write)... This slows the process down., filezilla ftp/sftp connect either or to a smb share or on too and from each machine (Filezilla exists as a docker...) and connect to the machine via ssh. Would be my recommendation to get full bandwidth file copy transfer.
May 9, 20251 yr Author I'm trying the Filezilla way and it's still around the gbps speed. Oh well, the amount of time I've wasted to get this to work, I could have just transferred the files... Whats the best way to transfer all the files from my ols server to the unRAID and make sure the files are all correct (in case of dropped connections)?
May 10, 20251 yr Author I'm trying out Krusader Sync option. It seems to be syncing the folders quite well. I looked into rsync, tried a few times, but didn't work out. I'll need to look more into it as I do want a off-site server (probably will use my old Synology) to keep just the data.
May 11, 20251 yr Community Expert https://codeberg.org/mgutt/rsync-incremental-backup/raw/branch/main/incbackup.sh rsync example above... sorry ftp didn't work out for you... Seems like your ssh config for sftp used 1 GB connect tells me that your ssh was using the 1 GB connection. comes down to what you want it to do and how you want to interact with it.
