Mounting a share using

 

mount -o fileaccess=755 -u:<username> -p:<password> \\bignas\mnt\user P:

 

and even browsing is insanely slow. In the order of minutes to read a folder

 

Any ideas why? NFS settigns are at default and I have *(rw) for User Shares

 

OOPS - Just found the reason; parity check had started. heh

 

HOWEVER - NFS performance is slower than SMB (I get about 30MB/sec write via SMB and just over 20 for NFS)

 

Any way to improve this?

What version of unRAID are you using? 

Why did a "parity check" just start?  (Did you initiate it?)  They don't usually start unless requested, unless the power to the server was interrupted without it being stopped, and a parity check is done on power up.

I'd removed the HPA this morning from one of my 1TB drives and forgot I'd started a parity check, basically.

 

Using unRAID 4.5b11

 

Just looking through the NFS performance thread now. I'll see if setting cfq scheduling makes any diff. Won't really get to test now as I've just had my gbit switch die and am stuck with 100mbit til probably tomorrow.

Had some time so connected my Win 7 64bit machine directly to my unRAID. After setting cfq scheduling, tested and no diff. Reading a folder can be REALLY slow (to the point my DOpus window (awesome app!) fades and becomes "Not Responding" for a while then becomes normal (til I try and browse again0.

 

Is there something I'm not doing right? Perhaps I'm mounting the shares incorrectly on the Win7 box?

 

Things seem to be fine in syslog
