noacess Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I recently moved my array off a Dell R510 and on to a R630 with a SAS9207-8e connected to a Lenovo SA120. After the move everything appeared to come up perfectly so I decided to do a parity check. Unfortunately, its running at only ~40-50MB/s and I'm not sure why. Prior to the move it was closer to 80 - 100MB/s. I've attached diagnostics to the post. Thanks for the help! tower-diagnostics-20180814-2246.zip Quote Link to comment
noacess Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 I may have spoke too soon. I waited another 10 minutes to so and its shot up to 130MB/s and is now hovering around 60MB/s. I guess I don't really understand the fluctuations. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 You're using the default tunables, that might bottleneck a little with 11 disks, try these and see if there's an improvement, you can change them during the check. Settings -> Disk Settings Tunable (md_num_stripes): 4096 Tunable (md_sync_window): 2048 Tunable (md_sync_thresh): 2000 Quote Link to comment

Now I'm getting a sustained ~150MB/s which great. If anyone else runs into this setting and is wondering what these settings do see here: Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
