Array Performance Issue?


Recommended Posts

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.

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:

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

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.
