Zackery Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) i have 100 percent cpu useage at what seems to me to be idle. everytime i start plex and any other docker even though im only allocating 1 core each... What gives? This has happened on four different occasions and ive included the Diag dump for each. on the latest, 20200616-0836, i forgot to add my regularly scheduled parity check going on. Also im super green when it comes to unraid, this is my trial period. tower-diagnostics-20200611-1914.zip tower-diagnostics-20200612-0042.zip tower-diagnostics-20200616-0836.zip tower-syslog-20200611-2156.zip Edited June 16, 2020 by Zackery MOAR INFO Quote
BRiT Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 It looks like you have parity checks setup for every single day at 08:30, or at least the syslog indicates it running consecutive days. On one day it also kicked off at ~ 20:00 or so. Most users use a strategy of scheduling Parity Checks Once a Month. Then running parity checks before and after any substantial hardware changes or moving of the system. Quote
Zackery Posted June 16, 2020 Author Posted June 16, 2020 alright, wasnt sure so i just made it daily. But regardless in my eyes the parity check doesnt seem to correlate with the cpu useage. Quote
Zackery Posted June 16, 2020 Author Posted June 16, 2020 Paused Parity and still using most of the resources. Maybe my hardware is too outdated? updated Diag below 10tower-diagnostics-20200616-0949.zip Quote
trurl Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 You don't really have enough RAM to consider running anything but basic NAS. Go to Settings - Docker and disable. Quote
Zackery Posted June 16, 2020 Author Posted June 16, 2020 If i were to upgrade and add some ram, 16gb of DDR3 would help then? Quote
trurl Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Looking again at your diagnostics, you don't have much CPU to work with either. Passmark for your CPU https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+E6600+%40+2.40GHz&id=912 is about half of minimum for even lowest res plex stream https://support.plex.tv/articles/201774043-what-kind-of-cpu-do-i-need-for-my-server/ Quote
