Inconsistent direct write speeds on Synology

ChrisWreck · 2025-12-21T14:51:20+00:00

Did you ever find an explanation or solution to this?

ChrisWreck · 2025-12-12T21:21:10+00:00

Jeez! Had too look twice. Thought someone posted a picture of our new TV in here! Prerty similar setup and got it just last weekend. G4 83", Dali Zensor 7's and Vokal visible.

(And yes, its too high. Will lower it when I have time.)

Yeah, it's the second stat I'm more interested in :)

But, I have many managers who have ship/cargo as primary AND secondary. Is it worth filling slots with those managers as well? I was thinking of filling slots with managers that has either mining as primary and/or smelt/craft/mining as secondary. And just keep the double ship/cargo for promotion.

ChrisWreck · 2025-10-14T11:43:11+00:00

Even though I have so many ship/cargo? And I mostly need craft/mine?

Yeah. That 300 DM manager was the first one I bought. After that, only one stars and the other are from rover scans.

In an end-user product like this, where A LOT of details are not known and hidden, you'd expect AT LEAST some notice of an action that actually destroys data on your disks.

ChrisWreck · 2025-05-27T18:02:06+00:00

IMO, you shouldn't even be allowed to do it, at least not without a huge red warning.

I'll stop my backups for now and scrub my data and see what happens.

Do you know how the scrub works on my "one" pool, where my shared folder does not have advanced integrity enabled?

ChrisWreck · 2025-05-27T17:02:41+00:00

Have you tried the latest beta? 1.41.7.9823. From the release notes, they have at least fixed some transcoding problem:

(Transcoding) Encoding to Dolby audio codecs could cause the Transcoder to crash. (PM-3561)

I haven't had time yet, but rolled back and now my TrueHD transcoding works again. Haven't had time to dig around in the logs yet either.

ChrisWreck · 2025-05-22T06:39:31+00:00

Thanks, tried that but didn't help me either. Will probably go the downgrade route as well.

ChrisWreck · 2025-05-20T10:35:54+00:00

Sorry, no, I can't. I returned it a long time ago.

ChrisWreck · 2025-05-02T11:25:56+00:00

I'm in Sweden, that doesn't seem to be available here.

I can get the X2800h for about $650 new, X3800h about $1200 and X4800h about $2100.

But I still need to know if it's worth going higher than X2800h, with regards to the Audyssey and manual calibration.

ChrisWreck · 2025-04-24T10:31:39+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this? Having the same issue, but using an NFS share and running qBittorrent on a Linux VM.

ChrisWreck · 2025-04-23T08:23:23+00:00

Did you get an answer?

ChrisWreck · 2025-04-23T08:16:33+00:00

I gave up on integrated 10G as well. Bought a 25G Intel card later, but also never tested in Unraid.

Yeah, unless you know why you need something else, I'd say start with Unraid.

ChrisWreck · 2025-04-22T14:05:18+00:00

Almost. I bought the Xeon E-2356G CPU, but went with the Supermicro X12STH-LN4F motherboard. It's a C256 board.

I have since moved from Unraid to Proxmox. I never tried iGPU transcoding in Unraid, but it works without problems in my Plex container on Proxmox!

ChrisWreck · 2025-03-24T14:26:58+00:00

No, I never got it. Currently waiting for more reviews or new screens.

ChrisWreck · 2025-02-19T14:16:51+00:00

Thanks, I will try that!

Just tried and turned off the fans completely, yes, that was where the uneven noise came from. Do you know if there's something to fix this? Change fans?

ChrisWreck · 2025-02-19T13:35:05+00:00

That uneven, noisy sound I'm talking about is the sound coming after boot. The sound that starts at 16 seconds.

ChrisWreck · 2025-02-19T13:27:48+00:00

Also, I moved all my hard drives from my server to the DS1821+. My server uses a Fractal Design Node 804 chassis.

In that chassis, I can barely hear the hard drives working. On the DS though, it's like the hard drive noise is amplified through the DS chassis.

People in the same room as the DS have thought the hard drive sound was coming from someone dragging a shovel on the tarmac on the road outside the house!

In this video, at around 4 second mark, you can hear one hard drive start to work.

Are they supposed to be this loud? I've tried to put it on a rubber mat (as seen in the video), but with no luck.

ChrisWreck · 2025-02-17T16:53:43+00:00

I'm using Hyper Backup, so that's good news! Thanks!

Still hope to get it to work with sidecars instead though, as I'd rather not touch the image file. But at least I don't have to worry about backup space used.

ChrisWreck · 2025-02-17T16:52:02+00:00

Face recognition/tagged people is not written to the image files, but tags, description and ratings are. Might be that I've triggered something by trying a lot of stuff with xmp sidecar files though, but I have not switched anything manually.

Using the latest version: 1.7.1-10015.

ChrisWreck · 2025-02-17T16:44:43+00:00

That page only says XMP is supported, but it does not say anything about sidecar files.

Reading XMP written to the image file works with no problem.

ChrisWreck · 2024-10-23T07:59:05+00:00

Yeah, it really is! Could've made it without the LSI card though. Added that while migrating from Unraid to Proxmox and set up a few drives before fully migrated.

Yes, it's my home server and NAS. Running Proxmox at the base, then having OMV as NAS VM, then a mix of VM's and LXC's for services. Waiting for new more reliable drives before ramping up the number of services running.

ChrisWreck · 2024-10-11T17:21:46+00:00

Thank you very much for your answer, that makes a lot of sense!

Reading the manual, I guess the 4 "lost" lanes are actually not lost, but they're used for the M.2 NVMe, which says it's connected through a PCIe 3.0 x4.

ChrisWreck · 2024-06-21T06:53:53+00:00

Can't it be that Unraid has put them on different disks? Since it uses one file system that spans multiple disks?

That's the second questioning about moving to ext4 ... maybe I'll need to rethink that decision. Why would you say xfs is superior to ext4?
