Hi Community,
Apologies for spamming the forum, this has been a learning experience for me.
Having resolved all previous issues (I did overwrite root when installing ZoneMinder on my last attempt), I now have Rockstor running in a somewhat stable manner on my Ryzen NAS, however networking (in general) appears to be running at a snails pace.
I have a fairly standard network configuration - No jumbo framing, TP-Link wireless AC router behind a cable modem. This box and my old NAS are both cabled into the router by a Gigabit switch.
NZBGet on my old NAS downloads a given NZB at 3 - 3.5Mbps, whereas the Rockon on rockstor is downloading the same NZB at 900Kbps - 1.1Mbps
Also of concern is network sharing. From my old NAS, I can stream a ~20Mbps movie to my wireless laptop without latency, whereas the rockstor box is spending more time buffering than playing the same file.
I have tried uninstalling all rockons and disabling the service (under the assumption this could be docker related), and this hasn’t improved the SMB stream speed at all.
No matter what I was trying to do, network throughput was not high (Sub 5Mb), CPU utilization has not peaked a single thread above 10%, and memory usage remains fairly constant around 14% used, 84% cached, 2 percent free and fractions in buffers.
Curiously, after reinstalling all rockons, rebooting mostly resolved the issue for a matter of hours (2.5 - 3Mbps in NZBGet, streaming about the same rate as my HPGen8), however it was back again within the day.
I really want to use Rockstor, because I have become a fan of BTRFS, and can find no other NAS distribution with decent BTRFS support built in - but if I can’t resolve these speed issues, it won’t prove very useful.
Any ideas?
