SMB Transfer Speed

Featured Replies

Hi all

I got a Share on Unraid using SMBv2 and my Windows 10 transfer speeds used to be good but ever since I added Parity disk they have slowed down by a lot.

My share setting for "Use Cache" is set to Yes.

 

Any ideas?

Read speed or write speed or both?

Mostly write speeds.

Are you sure it is writing to cache?

how do I check?

the share settings says Use Cache Yes.

Do you have any drive set as a "Cache drive"?

You can see if you have set any from the top "Main" tab.

Are you replacing files that might already be on the array?

nope new files

If possible before rebooting and preferably with the array started
Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread.

not sure if its related but my parity check 2 nights ago that was not correcting scheduled had 5 errors. so I ran another manual check with correction enabled and it showed 5 errors again. could it be bad parity drive?

If the first check was non-correcting, then the next check would have found the same errors since they were not corrected. Since that check was correcting, they should be correct now. Run another non-correcting check to verify there are zero errors now.

 

Were you doing these parity checks while testing the transfer speed?

Why do you have 100G for docker.img? 20G should be more than enough. Have you had problems filling it?

 

  • Author

No was not testing speed during Parity check.

 

Yes It was filling 20G quite easily I found.

How many dockers do you have? The usual reason for filling docker.img is an application writing to a path that isn't mapped. Your diagnostics showed it had already used 47G of the 100 so you almost certainly are writing into docker.img

About 9 containers. I will check paths for them to see if any not mapped correctly.  Logs are one thing which could fill it up like NextCloud or NGINX logs. Those I dont map to a share.

 

However does this impact my speed issues?

I have a docker img that is filling up rapidly.  How would I go about checking which docker is writing to a folder that's not mapped?  I have 20 dockers running.

The paths that are specified within each application must be mapped to the host, simple as that. For example, Linux is case-sensitive, so if you have specified a path within some application that is different than the mappings in upper/lower case, then it will be inside the docker.img

You should have a look at this :

 

The docker.img filling up is covered as well as the basic Docker configuration. It takes some time to understand what is the expected mapping. Maybe SpaceInvaderOne has a video about this, I do not remember.
