Ryvius Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 For the past few days, the transfer speed on my unRaid server suddenly went from 30-40 mb/sec to between 500kb to 2 mb/sec. I started seeing the change as soon as I purchased the plus license key and installed a cache drive. I tried playing with the settings on my linksys e4200, and unmounting the cache drive, but the speed remained the same. I also tried connecting my old NAS with the same cable and port, and did not experience the same problem I have with unRaid. Can someone take a look at my syslog and see what's going on? Thanks. Here's my eth0 log Tower login: root Linux 3.9.6p-unRAID. root@Tower:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) Link detected: yes root@Tower:~# syslog.txt Quote Link to comment

dgaschk Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Do several large transfers. Then attach a syslog and ifconfig output. Quote Link to comment

dgaschk Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The syslog only shows 2 minutes of activity. Where the transfers done during this period? About 20M was transferred to the server. How many files? Download and check the speed with teracopy (http://codesector.com/teracopy). Quote Link to comment
Ryvius Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I was trying to transfer one big file during that period of time, but it was so slow that I cancelled it. I have been playing around with some settings on my pc end, and it seems that the problem only affects the speed copying from my pc to the unraid, copying from unraid to desktop was unaffected. For some reason, I could no longer map the unraid folder, and the only way to access it was from workgroup. I also tried teracopy, but for some reason, the speed was even slower than copying from windows explorer. I have attached a longer syslog of a transfer of a folder of multiple files (32.9 GB, 178 files, took around 3 hours) here if you could take a look for me, thanks. syslog.txt Quote Link to comment
