January 11, 201610 yr Running v 6.16 of unraid. I noticed this week that transfers (read and write) from Tower have taken a nosedive. I used a Windows10 PC to move files from and to the server, just run a test and browsed to the flash to try and backup the OS and configuration and replace it with a blank 6.1 installation, but it would take me over a day at current transfer speeds... something is seriously wrong here. Windows10 PC and Unraid server are connected directly on a gigabit switch. Status reports come back fine, all drives are clean in terms of SMART reports. I can download files using the Limetech UI very quickly (5.8GB file downloaded in under two minutes), but if I try to use windows explorer or other applications (like FreeFileSync) I experience the same issue with very low speeds. I tested internal transfers between disks using rsync and I get average speeds of 20MB per second. Is this an authorization problem? Ages ago I seem to remember I had to do something to open up access to the server on my PC, as login and password access was not working, but I cannot remember what it was. I wonder if a windows update broke whatever fix I put in place and now it is screwing everything up for me. Server is right now unusable. Any help and suggestions are welcome.
