dragoby Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hey Everyone so I was working on upgrading my parity drives so that I could increase the storage capacity for my server and upon replacing one of the parity drives the sync is stating that it is going to take over 20 days running at about 1 mb/s Since I generally only turn the system on when I use it and It would definitely be most preferable to not leave it running for 20 days. Searching many threads with similar issues I have tried connecting the drive directly to the motherboard via sata and that did not affect the speed at all. I have attached the diagnostics file for the server. Total size: 2 TB Elapsed time: 32 minutes Current position: 1.16 GB (0.1 %) Estimated speed: 1.1 MB/sec Estimated finish: 21 days, 22 hours, 27 minutes The system specs are Model: Custom M/B: Supermicro - X8SIA CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU X3430 @ 2.40GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Disabled Cache: 256 kB, 1024 kB, 8192 kB Memory: 16 GB Single-bit ECC (max. installable capacity 24 GB) Network: bond0: load balancing (xor), mtu 1500 eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 eth1: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 eth2: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 eth3: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 eth4: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 eth5: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 Kernel: Linux 4.14.40-unRAID x86_64 OpenSSL: 1.0.2o Controller: IBM ServeRaid M1015 46M0861 SAS/SATA PCI-e RAID Controller LSI SAS9220-8i Connected to Supermicro 16 bay hotswap Any information is greatly appreciated Cheers!

dragoby Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 In addition, when copying I can get copies upwards of 120mb/s over my network Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Something is writing to disk8, that will severely slow down the parity sync. Quote Link to comment

Hey Johnnie so I shutdown all my machines that may have been connected to it so the only machine running would be the server and let it run all night and day today with no visible performance increase. I have re-run the diagnostics as well to see if maybe there is something else that could jump out now that it has been running for an additional 20 hours. I'm open to trying many different things and considering backing up everything and then just rebuilding an entirely new array as that could possibly be quicker if this doesn't pick up some speed soon Thanks again!

dragoby Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Update: It seems that I had a gitlab docker running (set to autostart for some reason) I have disabled that to see if there is any performance gain. Ill update again in a few hours to see if that might have been the cause of the slowness Cheers! Josh Quote Link to comment
dragoby Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Absolutely no increase in speed at all after turning off all of the dockers not sure what else could be causing the slowness Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 In the latest diags posted there are writes do disk1. Quote Link to comment
dragoby Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 So after much trouble I seemed to get it to go at a reasonable speed. I ended up deleting the entire array wiping all of the disks then building the parity with just the 2 parity disks and a single data disk which only took about an hour and a half. Once that was done I went and added all of the rest of the disks which is taking about 3..5 hours to process. Not sure why this is the case but at least it seemed to resolve the issue for now Quote Link to comment
