timeforanewmac Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I’m having trouble with the transfer speed of my backup software to my unRAID system, and I have no idea where the problem is. Since it starts out fine I’m assuming that I have no cabling or Ethernet issues. I’m using a Mac, Chronosync is the backup application I’m using, and have tried mounting the unRAID using both AFP and SMB. They behave similarly. File transfers begin at 10mb/s or more, and a day later I look at it and it’s maybe 1kb/s or even less. Have tried wired and wireless, no difference. I did have a recent issue with my Gigabit Motherboard, and replaced it with an ASUS brand. The attached system log picks up from where the motherboard was replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated! unRAID_sys_log.txt Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Even 10MB/s is slow unless you are on 100MB ethernet. Do you have a gigabit network? At the command line, what do you get with ethtool eth0 Quote Link to comment
timeforanewmac Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 At the command line, what do you get with ethtool eth0 that command doesn't seem to work in the Mac/Yosemite Terminal app, but there's a Network Utility within System Information that supposedly gives the equivalent info...and it says 1Gbit/s Also, I just updated my signature to reflect the new motherboard Quote Link to comment

Were you typing the command exactly as given? ethtool eth0 and it wouldn't be a bad idea to also paste the results from ifconfig eth0 Quote Link to comment
timeforanewmac Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 TBH, I don't see what the terminal app you use has to do with it... Were you typing the command exactly as given? ethtool eth0 yes and it wouldn't be a bad idea to also paste the results from ifconfig eth0 like the ethtool et0, the ifconfig eth0 doesn't work either. but here's what I've got with some other requests that apparently are comparable? MacBook-Pro-2:~ timarina$ ethtool eth0 -bash: ethtool: command not found MacBook-Pro-2:~ timarina$ ifconfig eth0 ifconfig: interface eth0 does not exist MacBook-Pro-2:~ timarina$ ethtool en0 -bash: ethtool: command not found MacBook-Pro-2:~ timarina$ ethtool en1 -bash: ethtool: command not found MacBook-Pro-2:~ timarina$ ifconfig en0 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=27<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,TSO4> ether 00:25:4b:cc:07:ea inet6 fe80::225:4bff:fecc:7ea%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 10.0.1.22 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> media: autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control>) status: active MacBook-Pro-2:~ timarina$ ifconfig en1 en1: flags=8823<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:25:00:48:74:c0 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD> media: autoselect (<unknown type>) status: inactive and now for a dumb question...these are queries that are to made from my Mac...and not something that I do on my headless unRAID system?

Squid Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 We really wanted them from your unRaid system. Don't know how you open a terminal window to the server on a mac (don't have one) Quote Link to comment
puppdawgy Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Here is an old thread that discusses how to connect to the server using a mac. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29930.0 Once you are connected to the server, and logged in.. type out the two commands ethtool eth0 ifconfig eth0 Quote Link to comment
timeforanewmac Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 awesome info, thanks...I've learned something! So I used Telnet, and this is what I get: Linux 3.9.11p-unRAID. root@unRAID:~# 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@unRAID:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6c:f0:49:73:6a:6b inet addr:10.0.1.15 Bcast:10.0.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1075740918 errors:0 dropped:2531479 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:405619055 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:723965458 (690.4 MiB) TX bytes:3119341835 (2.9 GiB) Interrupt:76 Base address:0xc000 1 Quote Link to comment
