Amahi Forums

Hello,

this problem occured with my amahi (6, ubuntu) system just out of nowhere last week. i have a greyhole storage pool with three 3 TB hdds and several smb shares. when transferring files to the largest share, the transfer rate wont go faster than 1 MB/s. Other shares in the same pool work just fine with rates of about 60 MB/s. a reboot didn't solve that problem. i suppose a hardware error can be excluded. do you have any ideas?

does anyone have an idea? the system is not usable for me now, i think otherwise im gonna give freenas a try

I did hear one time that a user had a similar problem and it was a bad network card.

Have you checked the wiki, searched the forums, or checked the internet for help?

You could install Amahi 7. I can tell you from experience that it works quite nicely.

I have tried FreeNAS and had problems with it myself. If I had to choose something other than Amahi, I would go with OpenMediaVault. It's quite nice and everything is web UI driven, even adding hard drives and formatting them.

thank you very much for your reply, also for suggesting omv, that looks nice too. i think im gonna install amahi 7 first. can i keep my ext4 formatted data disks or will i have to reformat them?

You can keep them as is. Remember to deselect or disconnect them before installing Amahi 7.

thats good to know. at the moment i am still playing around with the old system, looking if my network card is broken. when running the command ifconfig, one line of eth:0 reads as following:

RX packets:19531058 errors:0 dropped:113329 overruns:0

is all those dropped packets a hint for a broken network card? it's a realtek onboard chip.

Hard to say. Try doing a ping google.com

i have identified the problem - a broken wd red drive. when i put it in my synology nas, it slowed down the system the same way and the synology os told me, that the hdd is not working correctly. even after a reformat the problem persisted. a feature in amahi that tells you that the hdd is broken would be quite a nice idea, that would have saved me some hours of trouble shooting

There is a script you can use that will help with this:
