Slow transfer speeds


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I am using unRAID 6.8.3 nvidia build

 

Too start off I did an speedtest on the server :

However when I transfer files with /ethernet & wlan from my laptop computer to one place on the server too antoher I dont get speeds above 13-14mb/s (the wifi is ac network so shoulnd't be the reason). If I transfer from my laptop to the server I get maybe 20mb/s..

This is my laptops speedtest which I use to transfer files

I have 1000mbit port and its in use afaik because it hows on the Dashboard page.

 

Here is my server diagnostics

 

 

What steps should I take to get better speeds?

Same problem is with NZBGet and my nzb's.. Ive tested the same files on my laptop and it goes alot faster (With SABnzbd)

 

So the NZBGet problem was solved by switching to SABnzbd but I dont know why thats necessary, but my internal transfers are still only 13-14mb/s

You have multi read & write in same time to the array, in simple say Unraid only get highest throughput in single write session.

It depends on AP and NIC and many other factor, most in this speed range 2xx mb/s or 2x MB/s .

Even if I only have one single session it doesnt increase my write/read speed

 

This is diagnostic when I only have one read/write session

(There is also one plex but its paused)

I ran a diskspeed.sh script and it returned this :

Warning: Files in the array are open. Please refer to /tmp/lsof.txt for a list

/dev/sdb (Disk 6): 139 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdc (Disk 5): 144 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdd (Disk 3): 124 MB/sec avg
/dev/sde (Disk 2): 102 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdf (Disk 4): 117 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdg (Disk 1): 102 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdh (Disk 8): 163 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdi (Disk 7): 192 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdj (Cache): 121 MB/sec avg
/dev/sdk (Parity): 192 MB/sec avg

 

I also set Samba extra configuration" on Settings -> SMB:

max protocol = SMB2_02

 

Still no luck

I also tried

2-Go to Settings -> Global Share Settings -> Tunable (enable direct IO): set to Yes

and rebooted both client pc and server

 

Which doesnt seem to affect my slow speed

Have you tried testing with iperf to see the speed between your two devices on your LAN?

 

What OS are you transferring from? MacOS SMB over wifi has been slow for me since I was on High Sierrra.

 

The other thing you might run into is the speed of the disks you are reading from/writing to.

 

I've had much better luck running docker containers on the UNRAID box itself rather than using a separate box.

You still have multiple read and write in same time ( but seems write on disk6 only )

 

And disk6 not in good condition


Error 89 [16] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 38807 hours (1616 days + 23 hours)
  When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

 

Pls also try write on other disk , like others mention, pls test network/wifi throughput speed, too.

which I get 40-50mb/s out of..

But 250Mbit/s should give more than 14mb/s, isn't divided by 8 to find mb/s?

 

I am on Linux Manjaro 20.0.1

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I'm in the same position. Got a huge storage server with really good drives but the bitrate says 900+ like your but transfer is "capped" to 80-100 Mbits~.
