Overall slow performance / gui not working correctly

[cogliostro]

Hi guys, i have some issues with my unraid server. The unraid version is 6.6.4 stable release.

 

My issues are.

 

- Slow Gui in where the Apps Dashboard complete disappear. 

- From time to time,  No Connection to the Gui Possible because of (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

- Overall slow Copy and Writing speed (i think this has to do with my 9650se Raid Controller, i ordered 3 new HBA Cards (M1015))

- Internal copy and writing speed are changeing from 30 mb/s to 5 mb/s i mean its SATA II but really must this be so bad ? (Turbo Write is ON)

- Starting the Array will Take around 10 - 15 Minutes.

- Stopping the Array will Take around 10 - 15 Minutes. 

- Reboot the Server is not possible it will not reboot.

- Shutdown the Server will take around 30 minutes. 

- Network transfer speeds 40 mb/s (was 110 mb/s) before i added 8 more Drives.

- Pre-Clear operation had 30 mb/s per Drive to clear it (i mean ok its SATA II)

- 'Array Starting Services' will take around forever ... / hanging on starting services...

- Clicking on 'Apps' on the Dashboard will Bring you to the 'Updating Content' Screen and then it stucks there.  

 

 

Hardware Specs are:

 

Model: SC846

M/B: Supermicro - X8DT3

CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU L5640 @ 2.27GHz (Dual Socket)

HVM: Enabled

IOMMU: Disabled

Cache: 384 kB, 1536 kB, 12288 kB

Memory: 32 GB Multi-bit ECC (max. installable capacity 384 GB)

Network: bond0: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation, mtu 1500 
 eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 
 eth1: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500

 

I mean wtf this hardware can't be so bad that i have such slow speeds. 

 

I have overall 18 Drives in this Machine, the Drives are working in the 'Single Disk' Mode and are still operated by the Raid Controller (9650SE) so i ordered 3x M1015 Cards. So i will have to safe my files and after the exchange of the Raid Controller i will have to add them later on. So im glad i have just startet to creating this Server and only 4 TB of the 36 TB are in use. 

 

- 2 SanDisk Ultra II 480 GB SATA SSD Drives for the Cache ( Raid 0, direct atteched to the Mainboard)

- 2 WD Red 3 TB Parity drives ( one is direct atteched to SATA 3 Port of the Mainboard, one is on the old Raid Controller (SATAII))

- 12 HGST 3 TB 7200 rpm Enterprise Drives. (Theyr all on the Raid Controller)

 

Also i have the feeling my USB Stick is probably failing. i have the SanDisk Cruzer Fit (32 GB USB 2.0) so i have no clue what i have done to the System and why it feels overall so slow. Everything that goes away from my two SSDs feels like old machine from 2005. I mean i know Socket x58 is not that new anymore but c'mon 24 Cores Xeon with 32 gigs of Ramm must perform way better than what i have now. 

 

If you have any tips for me. Please share, it's really starting to getting frustrated. 

 

Also i looked for new USB Drive maybe this is the issue. All i could find on Limetech Page are sticks recommended that are oldskool as f***. Can't you just update that recommendation please ?

You should post your diagnostics

I found out that my raid controller was configured in „Single Disk“ mode. Not as JBOD. Now I will change that settings to JBOD. Maybe this will change when I disable all of the raid controller features.

I think I remember other users with the same controller and very bad performance, wait for the new HBAs and try again.

i started yesterday by saving all my stuff to my local computer so i can try & error on the Server. i beginn with setting up the still old raid controller in JBOD mode, and creating my unraid stick new. the gui works now more reliable.

I now saved my files. I think tstor is correct. The 9650se is probably good for a few drives. But as soon that you start adding drives. The performance drops down like hell. The 12 drives have a total speed of 7mb/s per drive. I use “Most-free” for my shares. Changing the file system for hdd from Btrfs to xfs doesn’t make any improvements. So I think the controller is really the bottleneck here.

The new HBA Cards solved the most of my problems. Just get rid of the old 9650se Controller. At least in unraid it is a pain in the ass.
