xtrips Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hello, I have just installed my Unraid using the latest v.5 beta. I have checked my ethernet speed on the Unraid server and it is 1Gb FullDuplex. I also have a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro running at 1Gb FullDuplex. Both are connected to a 1Gb switch. If I write big files to my Readynas the speed is great and in relation with the ethernet speed. But if i try to copy files from my Readynas to the Unraid the speed is more like 100Mb. What have gone wrong? Or is it a limitation of Unraid? Thank you Quote Link to comment
nsp24 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I have just built an unraid server and I am finding it very slow writing data to any of the drives I have even added a cache drive and it is still slow. The average seems to be about 11mb/second. But can drop to 3 or 4 mb/second I am able to play my media fine on my wd tv live but copying any data seams so slow. I am new to unraid so I don’t know how to check the configuration so any tips and advice would be very welcome. Buy the way when I copy to my pc I get about 60mb/second My system Asus P5GV-MX 3GB PENTIUM 4 soc 775 1GB RAM I GIGABIT PCI Network Card Netgear Gigabit switch and 1 gigabit card in my windows 7 pc 3x wd 2TB EARS sata 1X Maxtor SATA cache drive Unraid server plus5.0 8c I really would like to know how to get this working to the best speed possible. I am using a beta so maybe I would have been better off using an older version, also I tried to copy and paste my log file but it said it was to big. Quote Link to comment
nsp24 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 here is my system log, means nothing to me! system_log.txt Quote Link to comment
darkside40 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Same problem here. Seems that since updating from 5.0beta6a to 5.0beta9 something has changed. Maybe i try to revert back today to see if it is better with the old Version. Quote Link to comment
joshpond Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 What hardware and a syslog. Most of the time we'll need a little more info to help. I think there is something in the wiki about what to post for trouble shooting. Josh Quote Link to comment

I understand there may be an issue, but I would prefer to not clog that thread to heavily. Quote Link to comment
darkside40 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Got your point, but may it be possible to merge the two threads here in this forum so we could discuss it here? By the way i looked through the three syslogs i have out of the threads regarding that issue (of nsp24, Concorde Rules and my own) and what i see is that in all the syslogs the r8169 ethernet driver / Nic is used.

nsp24 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi Guys, What is the best option for me now, do I buy a different NIC, Wait for a software update, or go for an earlier version of unraid? Quote Link to comment
joshpond Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 nsp24: What network cards/chips do you have. Do you have both an onboard (inbuilt into the motherboard) and a PCI network card plugged in? Josh Quote Link to comment

Josh Hi Josh, I have disabled the onboard 10/100 and installed a Micronet SP2612R 1 GIGABIT PCI which I got from Maplins http://www.micronet.info/l4.aspx?series_no=5&sno=512 The chip is a RTL8169SC Quote Link to comment
darkside40 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It simply seems to be a driver problem. The r8169 seems to be broken in the new Kernel Tom seems to work on an Update, until then i am back to 5.0beta6a. For me there is no need changing the NIC, i just wait for the next unRaid beta.

This is the only version I have ever tried, is it hard to change to an older version? Is there any risk of losing DATA? Quote Link to comment
darkside40 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have done the same steps like in the upgrade instructions from beta6a to beta9 und have not lost anything. Quote Link to comment
