January 8, 20188 yr Hi ive just upgraded (via a clean install) one of my servers from unRaid 5 to unRaid 6 and the first thing I’ve noticed is that the time it takes to boot and start the array probably 2-3 times what it used to take on v5? I’m running it on a HP micro server n54l with 8gb of ram and a 5-disk array with no parity drive (yet). Any clues why why the performance is so much slower on the new version as this has killed my Kodi system (which auto-starts the required server when you select a movie etc). Now it just times-out and eventually decides that the file must no longer be available. Any my help would be great. Thanks Adrian

January 9, 20188 yr Community Expert On my system, this sequence of events takes about ten seconds to run, while yours takes close to two minutes... Jan 9 10:55:44 MediaServer1 s3_sleep: s3_sleep process ID 3799 started, To terminate it, type: s3_sleep -q Jan 9 10:55:45 MediaServer1 root: Fix Common Problems Version 2018.01.06a Jan 9 10:57:54 MediaServer1 unassigned.devices: Mounting 'Auto Mount' Devices... Jan 9 10:57:54 MediaServer1 emhttp: Starting services... You might want to check out if the Fix Common Problems plugin is finding issues and address each one.
January 9, 20188 yr Million reasons why FCP could take that long. Depends upon the spin up avoidance setting in FCP, write checks to all the drives, etc....
January 9, 20188 yr 20 hours ago, Zoroeyes said: Ok, will do, not had to post before so I’m new to this. As a quick verification you can start unRAID in safemode and compare.
January 9, 20188 yr Community Expert Based on @squib reply, you might be left with only two choices: (1)--- uninstall Fix Common Problems or (2)--- leave the server on 24-7 (Spinning down the drives will save a lot of energy...).
January 9, 20188 yr I had the same issue. My server doesn't run 24/7 so I chose to check once for issues and then uninstall the FCP plugin.
January 9, 20188 yr Author Well that certainly seems faster, not sure by how much as I can’t interpret the log file very well. mediaserver1-diagnostics-20180109-1448.zip
January 9, 20188 yr Community Expert Just look at the time from the start to the end of the syslog file. (This only works after a fresh boot as normal usage of the server will result in additional entries. However, you can usually determine when the boot process ends as there is be a flurry of almost continuous entries for up to two or three minutes for the boot process to finish and then a big gap before the next one as a result of logging a normal operation.) Your last boot period was twenty seconds. The previous one is was well over two minutes. So you have a boot process that is at least two minutes faster.
January 9, 20188 yr Author Brilliant, thanks for all of the help. Ill get get on with upgrading my other two servers now! cheers adrian
