RichardH Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello, Downloaded a trial copy of unraid but initial write speed test tappers to 0 B/s after 5 ~ 10 seconds. I've only have 2 500GB disks in the array w/o parity disk configured. Could we check if my configs are optimal and why the transfers rate becoms so slow. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread Quote Link to comment

If you want any sort of useful feedback you should provide your system's diagnostics zip file (obtained via Tools -> Diagnostics) covering a period when you are experiencing this issue. It sounds as if there may be some sort of hardware issue but that is just a guess without something to wiok with. Quote Link to comment
RichardH Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 diagnostics taken during slow transfer attached. tower-diagnostics-20201120-1955.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 You're deleting 3,727 items at the same time as you're transferring. File system overhead is accounting for all of that as it sorts itself all out. (And while you don't have a parity drive, the "test" share only exists right now on disk1, so the heads are probably thrashing rather extensively) Quote Link to comment

Did another test copying a single 4gb iso file, still getting similar SMB share transfer results. FTP also the same. Diagnostic file attached. This shouldn't be a hardware or network related issue as I test with a linux install on the same h/w setup as I did for unraid and NFS or SMB transfer speeds ingress or egress are at 100MB/s+. Perhaps bios or sata settings specific to UNRAID i need to consider? tower-diagnostics-20201121-0940.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Do those diagnostics cover a period where the problem is occurring? They look at though they may be just after rebooting. If not then I have no idea why you are seeing what you describe - not something anyone else has encountered as far as I know. Quote Link to comment
RichardH Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 slow file transfer was root caused to nic driver for large file transfer offload. Thanks everyone for their input! 1 Quote Link to comment
