geraldbrent1 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Hey all. I have an HP ML350p Gen 8 running Unraid 6.6.7. One thing I haven't gotten around to in the couple of months this system has been around is setting up parity. Right now, it's estimating 10 days for the initial parity sync at 4.5 MB/s. Read checks have passed at 97 MB/s in the past. I'm just trying to figure out why parity is grinding to a halt while everything else is performing flawlessly. Diagnostics attached. defiant-tower-diagnostics-20190413-1959.zip Edited April 14, 2019 by geraldbrent1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Write cache for parity disk is disabled, you can turn on with: hdparm -W1 /dev/sdX Might go back to default after a reboot. 1 Quote Link to comment

That single command bumped it up to 70MB/s. Much thanks. Any way to make it persist through a reboot? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Not sure it will, check after rebooting, if it doesn't you can use a script to enable it. Quote Link to comment

Next time I can, I will for sure. Went ahead and added it to a user script. Can't hurt it if the variable is already checked. This is why I love this community. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Just keep in mind that sdX can change if there is a hardware change, though no harm done in that case, alternatively you can have the script enable if for all disks, it won't make a difference for those where it's already enable.
