Hey guys, I am new to Unraid.  My server build has been a work in progress these last few months.  It is up and running on a esxi server but acting very slow to respond through the web gui.  Sometimes I have to wait a few min to even get to the webpage upon booting.  Once up, it can take 20-30 seconds to switch between tabs (but not always).  I cannot find any rhyme or reason for it, but it is extremely frustrating.  I am afraid to move my data to it because it just seems like its not stable.  I have redone my usb stick, but that did not help at all. Any ideas?  Thanks

 

ps. I have a few other issues but I will do one post at a time

Would you mind posting the diagnostics file instead of only the syslog?

It is up and running on a esxi server but acting very slow to respond through the web gui.

How does it run natively? Running as an esxi guest introduces complications, so it's best to run bare metal and see if the issue is actually with unraid.

ESXI isn't officially supported, there is a subforum dedicated to running Unraid as a guest though as a lot of people do, you might want to put a post there to reach a more targeted audience.

Looks like you have the "reset high-speed USB device" issue under ESXi.  The 'unRAID as Guest' forum linked above has a long thread about it, including a few users who have worked around it.  It causes major slowdowns like you are seeing.

Yep... we do have that issue.  Only workaround we've found is passthrough the USB controller.  Looks like the problem is in the kernel... waiting for a fix.

Thanks guys.  I will take a look at that thread.  I built this server on the recommendation of a coworker who has the the same setup as me.  He just has a 4 year old system and never had issues with it (even though even he said it is not officially supported).  He has since switched to bare metal just for the heck of it.  He suggested I stay on esxi and a virtual unraid just to get used to esxi management (as we use it at work).  I can always run the esxi virtually if I need to.  I would be more than happy to test it bare metal just to confirm its not an issue with unraid. 

 

BRiT.  If you still want the diagnostic file, I can upload it.  I just was not sure if its the whole diagnostics folder, or a specific portion within it you wanted to look at

I really really like my unRAID on ESXi. Its not officially supported by LimeTech, but it works great (after the USB passthrough). I usually idle in the #unraid IRC channel on freenode if you need help.
