comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) hi i have 2 unraid servers both have 7200rpm drives.. both connected to 1gb network when using rsync all im getting is 35meg/s copying of 1-3gb files i not getting the 100-120meg/s i get from my desktop to the server.. i only noticed as i doing command line rsync is there a way to see whats bottle necking or is that part of rsync slower then regular copy from windows to the array or copy from the array to the desktop but if its not possible thats ok i figured i could get same speed as windows to unraid and i dont use a cache ssd as i dont wanna wear them out for copying .. so its direct copy hard drive to hard drive over the network Edited July 25, 2020 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 ya the main server has parity.. but im copying to the other unraid which has no parity and it fluxuates 25meg up to 45 meg but wont go higher.. when i copy from Windows to the Main Unraid server with parity i will get anywhere 90-120megs/s so i figured maybe rsync is a slow process over windows copy Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 What is the rsync command? Some options can slow things down. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) echo "Backing up Videos" rsync -avzu --exclude ".Recycle.Bin/" -s --stats --numeric-ids --progress -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -T -o Compression=no -x" /mnt/user/Videos/ root@backupserver:/mnt/user/Videos/ --delete Edited July 25, 2020 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 i dont even know what half all that means i added some code from other peoples when i googled and modeded to what i needed Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 -z does compression, which actually slows things down if you already have a fast connection. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 ok ill remove it and try again.. so it compresses the files? Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 so it got me up to 50-70megs not the 90-120meg mark but least its faster then before lol Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Yes, which is helpful if you have a slow connection, but just takes extra time to compress/decompress if your connection is already fast. Mostly would be used if transferring files over the internet. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 ah ok cool cool.. anything eles in the rsync thats keeping it slow or thats just how it is rsync slower then normal copy... but least its faster as it was like watching paint dry lol Quote Link to comment
Bandit_King Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 get 2 10gb Network cards and copy between servers Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 i can do that... can you have 2 10gb nics linked each other with i guess a cross over cable.. and then have the other nic attached to the network.. i wanted to get a 10gb network switch.. the cards are affordable i but when i seen a network switch i couldnt believe the prices Quote Link to comment
