April 13, 201511 yr Hi, I've been running unraid sometime now and have never been able to achieve the transfer speeds other seem to have. I've now got a little time to look into this so would just like to get some suggestions please. I'm running a Gig switch along with the Virgin Superhub (supposedly with Gig links). I have 6 2TB drives installed, one acting as the parity drive with no cache drive. When transferring to my Unraid, I get no higher then 5 MB/s speeds. Any suggestions are much appreciated. version: 4.7 Results of ifconfig & ethtool eth0: MediaServer login: root Linux 2.6.32.9-unRAID. root@MediaServer:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3c:4a:92:74:25:87 inet addr:192.168.0.6 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:45814216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:43703632 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1359510453 (1.2 GiB) TX bytes:2570256930 (2.3 GiB) Interrupt:18 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1787 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1787 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:129808 (126.7 KiB) TX bytes:129808 (126.7 KiB) root@MediaServer:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) Link detected: yes root@MediaServer:~#
April 13, 201511 yr Author They seem fine, 42MB/s. Ps. just noticed I posted this in the wrong section, I am on Unraid 4.7 not 5.x
April 14, 201511 yr Author Syslog attached as requested. Is it worth trying to upgrade to the latest version? unraid_syslog.txt
April 14, 201511 yr Is it worth trying to upgrade to the latest version?As a general rule it's almost never a good idea to update to try to solve a computer issue, unless the issue is known and addressed by the update. That said, if you have full backups of your data, there is little to no risk in trying it just to see if it helps.
April 14, 201511 yr Post a picture of your Web GUI showing all the drives and the current status info.
April 16, 201511 yr Nothing jumps out from the drives => I thought perhaps you had an older, low areal density drive that was slowing things down; but all of your drives are 3 platter, 667GB/platter except one (the EZRX), and that's an even higher density 2 platter unit. [Technically, some of your drives (the EARX units) are short-stroked 750GB/platter units; but they're only using 667GB on each of the platters]
April 16, 201511 yr I'd try a different set of Ethernet cables, just in case you have a continuity issue in one of the wire pairs.
