Array Performance Issue?

Featured Replies

Hello, I'm running unRAID v6.6.6 on a HP Compaq 6000 Pro Microtower. I've installed "Community Applications" Plugin and Zoneminder Docker.

 

I appear to be experiencing a performance issue that I don't know how to debug. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

You can see below, I've issued a rsync command to copy from 192.168.0.232 to unRAID and the file transfer speed has slowed to a crawl. I verified that the 192.168.0.232 server is performing well.

There was a xfs related call trace, reboot, check filesystem on disk1 and try again.

Thank you for the guidance. I wasn't able to reboot or shutdown via the GUI so I had to powerdown from the CLI. Disk 1 filesystem check output is attached. I then tried the rsync again with similar results:

Looks like I have a bad stick of RAM. Will try the rsync again and report back.

  • Author

Removing the bad RAM fixed the issue. That said, rsync is topping out at approx. 21 MB/s.

 

When I manually copy (SMB) a large file from the same source host to a different destination host, my laptop, I get 120 MB/s. All three systems are connected to the same switch.

 

SMB get from the same source to unRAID averages approx. 65-70 MB/s

 

Why is rsync three times as slow as SMB with the same source and destination and almost six times slower than SMB from the same source to a different destination on the same switch?

 

Thx

This seems normal. Maybe better than normal. Are you using Turbo Write? Writes to the parity array are slower than single disk write speed due to parity updates.

Rsync command line you're using?

That should be fine, just checking you weren't using the compression flag, using a different cipher can give a little more performance with rsync but that doesn't explain 20MB/s, so something else is going on, assuming the CPUs in use are powerful enough, i.e., they are not a couple of single core Atom CPUs.

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7600 @ 3.06GHz

 

Neither CPU nor RAM appear to be the issue. Topping out at 23 MB/s. Diagnostics attached.

Use iperf to test your LAN bandwidth.
