Hi folks.

My untangle router report came through this morning saying that we had passed 138gigs of data between lan and wan over one day, alarming for a family of four out for most of it.

I have looked through the reports in untangle. The highest used port yesterday was 51413 and this from my OMV server which has transmission on.

Whilst Transmission is running on OMV along with plex etc I have not used it in months, furthermore I checked the interface and its empty as I would expect.

I blindy ran updates on OMV the other day perhaps transmission was an update, but all I know is 65% of that 134gigs was apparently transmission, and I have no idea for what.

I have uninstalled it now, just thought someone may be interested.

Zitat von tkaiser

You should diagnose this behaviour since what you're trying now won't work (IMO). With a single GbE link you get 110 MB/s SMB performance at the application layer. If it's below then there's something wrong (these days). You mentioned Win2012 server which is using SMB Multichannel by default. Bandwidth in such a situation with 2 NICs on each side and no configured LACP (no bonding, just individual GbE links that are accessible between both hosts) should exceed 200MB/s.
What you observed is most probably already the result of misconfiguration and it won't get better now when you try to use LACP (the only reasonable choice if more than one OS is involved).

Hi tkaiser, could you expand on this a little bit, sorry I am the most dangerous kind of PC guy, someone who has half a clue!

On windows server I was able to aggregate (i think is the term) two nics which then showed as 2gb connection rather than 1.

This was also done on the switch.

The net result was a very consistent throughput speed.

I am not sure I understand what you mean regarding different OSs, indeed I have OMV, Windows 10 and OSX on the same network?

I have never seen 200MB/s on my network. The switches in use are gigabite.

Hi gents I'll take a look tomorrow and post back what I have.

I believe I have set the two intel nics as the bond because when I set the device up I only had the single nic on the motherbord connected, therefore when I created a new bonded interface the only two available were the nics on the card.

AS a bit of background the two wires used in for the bind are currently set to lag and worked fine with windows server 2012, that being said I am a little hazy on all the choices in OMV, on windows it was just a case of adding the two nics to the LAG, I do not recall choices for round robin and all that stuff.

The reason I wanted it (and perhaps not so important on OMV) is that in windows on a single nic speed would max at 110MB/s but would be up and down up and down, where as with the two nics it would be a constant 110MB/s leading to faster transfers.

I don't suppose its the end of the world!

Hi folks.

I have set up my OMV initially with a single ethernet nic(The one on the motherboard) But I also installed an intel twin nic card as well. I have set the two nics on this card to be bonded round robin. On my switch I have the relevant twin connections for the card set in LAG. (it infact came from a windows server set up where the lag worked fine)

Both the single nic and the bonded twin nics have been allocated fixed IPs.

With all nics connected I can connect to either IP.

If I disconnect the single nic, then the bonded nic cannot be accessed either.

Could someone help me as to where I have gone wrong. I really want to disconnect the single nic and just have the bonded nic.

Hi, on my new OMV install the system logs are mentioning temps on SMART of 200+ Degrees (!)

However in the SMART tab the temps are more like 30 degrees.

To be fair I am not sure I trust either of these but is it fair to say the system logs are crazy?

I have been plagued by lots of entries in update manager about firmware upgrades. They are a pain int he arse as they don't relate to my system, so I have to manually go through updates to make sure these firmware updates are not selected.

Tonight I did another update and the interface has changed so I assume a large one, but these firmware ones still persist, if I try and update everything I am warned about broken packages and nothing updates.

Alas, for me apple filing is not working. I cannot connect to the share thats created apple tells me there was a problem connecting and there may not be any shares at that location. I only want it for timemachine which has been rock solid in the past, but that is not showing as an option in time machine.

If I download OMV V2 and do a clean install will I be able to import the raid config etc?

Cheers

great thank you that worked a treat.

FWIW though in the update manager there is still a bunch of entries about firmware updates for stuff not on my system so when I attempt to update everything it just errors out, This is a bit of an issue as I have to soft through stuff trying to find what might need to be updated.

I don't mind, its just not behaviour I have seen before on OMV

Any chance anyone could advise?

Ah ok thanks.

Sorry I am not so hot on this stuff, I take it that update is not available yet, at least its not showing in update manager. I appear to be on version 3.0.69

Also and possibly not related in the update manager is a bunch of firmware updates however when I click installs I get a bunch of errors about holding broken packages.

This is a new clean install of OMV, not an upgrade or anything.

Hello, when I try and turn on Apple AFP I get the following:

Could someone tell me what to do?

Ah ok, yea I understand about omv extras as thats where I get plex from.

Still I am now at a stage where it wont install at all. I had the original install on a harddrive so stuck that in a HP proliant and whilst its booted fine it does not appear on my network. I am sure OMV used to tell you on the connected screen what its IP was but thats not longer showing either.

Sorry I don't really understand, I downloaded the OMV v3 installer and ran that?

Sorry to clarify I started with version 3. Well anyhow I installed Windows 2008 on the same hardware, same nics same everything and easily hitting 100MB/s from my main PC, would not go above 45 on OMV. So I have given up on OMV in this application. I have used OMV in one guise or another for years including on this very server under a virtual so not sure if its version 3, the Perc card, or some unfortunate event, but what ever it is, the combination is not happy.

However I am trying to install on another PC an old Dell OptiPlex 755. It simply will not have it here. At 'partitions formatting' it hits 33% and goes no further. I have tried three different harddrives and burning the image to two DVDs and CDR and USB stick, in all cases cannot get beyond 33% formatting.

Sigh.

Hi, yea AMD64. Its really strange. I am in no rush here so will try different network ports etc, but the performance is really bad, I gave up with the TVShow scan last night it was still going 2 hours later for 12 shows.

I cannot break 50MB/s download from it.

I also note that the cpu is being utilised at around 80%, is OMV able to use multi cores? This one has 8 cores at 3ghz and 32gigs of ram.

I have only every ran OMV on lower level hardware such as proliant n54l where the CPU never seemed to be stressed.

Hi, I got my dell model wrong its a 2900 and the perc includes raid 0-1-5-6 and 10

I went with 0 over 4 disks as I have a need for speed! I am aware of the risks of raid hence everything is backed up to another pc.

However now that its all set up, speeds are very disappointing. With copy speed not exceeding 40MB/s on the same set up but with windows 2008 it comfortably sat around 110MB/s

So not really sure what to make of that, but its all slower, PLEX scanning for instance is very slow, I can tell this because I installed PLEX temporarily on my back up server this week ( an old optiplex something or other running 2008) my tv shows scanned in around 10 minutes, I don't have many, on OMV its been going for 40 minutes with plenty to go.

Looking in the networking graphic on OMV it says its connected at gigabit. So I can only think some sort of unhappiness with the raid?

I set up raid in the perc interface, and set it all toe ext4 as discussed above.

Sorry I meant a sata card to do away with the raid card. I'll use ext4, known and loved.

Cheers

Hi.

Getting a lot of conflicting info on the hardware raid and BTRFS. Would I be better just using ext4 in this application?

I think in the new year I shall start again with a sas controller rather than raid but for right now I have a perc and set up 4 disks as raid 0. This has been picked up fine by OMV, just wonder what file system to put on it.

For now at least no mission critical stuff will be on this nas, that being said I would rather it didnt go belly up real quick!
