I am currently trying to migrate to a new server. My old server was an Asrock C2750 but was starting to have some issues with multiple plex transcoding. System would lock up then I would have to shut it down for a few hours before it would turn back on. Plan on reusing that server so will tackle that issue later. I was able to setup the new server and migrate all my data over. For about 2-3 days everything was running great. However now everything appears to be running very sluggish and locking up.
Example issues:
-- Accessing SMB share in windows will take time to populate file list
-- Play back video from SMB share in windows takes a few seconds to load, also longer than normal pause when skip ahead in video
-- Opening plex on different platforms (Xbox, Android, Browser) videos take a while to load.
-- sabnzbd takes a while to uncompress files and will sometimes lock up with Lost Connection message
-- sabnzbd will start to download at about 80 MB/s and then drop to 5 MB/s (confirmed not an issue with usenet provider or my isp)
New server specs:
Lenovo Thinkserver running Freenas 11.1-U5
Dual Xeon E5-2620 V3 CPUs
40GB ECC ram
freenas installed on a 32gb SD card
8x5TB drives in ZFS raidz1 about 75% full
All drives are Seagate Baracuda 2.5" 5400 drives
5 active Jails (Sabnzbd, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr and Tautulli)
Fixes so far:
-- Was having issues where smartd was not starting. Found out my LSI 9240-81 was in IR mode. I flashed it to a 9211-8i in IT mode with p20 firmware (I believe I read p20 is now supported). smartd now starts and I was able to run a short smart test on all my drives. No Errors
I am currently running a scrub but curious if there is anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance.
