Hi All,

 

I've been running unraid 4.7 for a few years and have now upgraded to 5.0.4.  All is good but I've recently installed some plugins (simplefeatures and unmenu).  I had a few drive problems but all is resolved. 

 

I'm running a parity check and with 4.7 usually would get 60-65MB/s which is definitely normal and good.  Now, with 5.0.4 and simplefeatures here is the behavior. 

 

Parity Check Running:

Access regular simplefeatures UI (not unmenu). 

Parity check speed is reported at 19-21MB/s consistently.  The disks in the array seem like they are "churning" (making a bit of noise) which I thought is normal.  However, I know this isn't right compared to previous performance and I've been messing around with it.  If I access the unmenu interface and not simplefeatures UI then the speed hops up to 60-65MB/s and the "churning" noise goes away.

 

Has anyone ever heard of that?  I don't know if it has something to do with my flash drive read speed which tested at : Timing buffered disk reads:  60 MB in  3.06 seconds =  19.61 MB/sec.  This is pretty similar to the speed I get when accessing simple features UI.  I wonder if somehow the simplefeatures UI is causing the parity check to have to go through the most limiting factor thumb drive speed?  I don't know, I'm confused.  All other drives are at 80-135MB/s read. 

 

I attached latest system log.  It's definitely something with simplefeatures.  Like I said, access simplefeatures UI, parity check speed choked to 20MB/s.  Leave simplefeatures UI and check unmenu, it hops back up to 65+MB/s

 

Perhaps I'll just uninstall simplefeatures as it seems unmenu is more than sufficient. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Chris

This is a known issue with SF. Furthermore, SF is NOT compatible with unraid v5.0.x. So, solution is simple, remove SF and use the stock gui, unmenu, or limetech's webgui instead.

Wow, I definitely didn't do my research here...  Thanks for the concise info that I'm sure is well documented on this site (I apologize for that). 

 

Thanks again,

Yeah the info is there, but finding it is something else
