Problem with FreeNAS transfers

[Ericloewe]

I read that in older versions it was quite buggy

Whatever you've been reading, ignore it completely.

It could be all those drives listed (unlikely), the storage controller itself or something weirder.

ok right now I am using the onboard sata controllers which should be working fine. My problem is that probably it is some of the hard drives, but SMART is reporting all of them as good. Is there any other way I can test them? I have made 6 single drive shares to test each one individually but I am not getting consistent results. Sometimes I can copy 100gb+ other times I can only copy 20gb and then the system hangs.

 

[Jonnhy]

ok so at this point I am pretty lost as to how to check my hardware or how to check what could possibly wrong with my system. I tried running the dd command this is one of the outputs:

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=temp.dat bs=1024k count=40k                                                                   
40960+0 records in                                                                                                                 
40960+0 records out                                                                                                                 
42949672960 bytes transferred in 16.598331 secs (2587589862 bytes/sec)    

There are two things that are quite strange:
1) When I perform the test, I cannot hear the disks spinning in the same way they do when I am making a file transfer with samba
2) Also the transfer speed comes to about 2.4Gb/s which seems super fast, even for a 6 drive array.

Great job testing your memory speed. Now let's test your pool speed. Create a dataset with no compression and write a file the is larger than the amount of memory you have. Use a block size of 1M.

oh damn, sorry about that I am such a noob, that when I saw that the dd command is supposed to test the array speed I just used it... Anyways which command is used for testing the array ? Also when you say no compression do you mean not even the default lz4 ?

 

[Jonnhy]

ok so I run the following code and I got the respective output, which shows speeds of about 660Mb/s

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=8k count=1000000              
1000000+0 records in                                                          
1000000+0 records out                                                          
8192000000 bytes transferred in 11.555308 secs (708938273 bytes/sec)

 

[Jonnhy]

I also tried running drives individually in stripe mode, to test and see if it is one hdd. But I am getting the exact same problem. Sometimes I am getting an error like the screenshot bellow
When I am then trying to repair the gpt table I have the following output:

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# gpart recover /dev/ada0                                                                                           
ada0 recovering is not needed 

 

[Jonnhy]

I have also tried different cables for the hard drives without any solution. Honestly I have no idea what the problem could be. I have tried multiple hard drives, on board and lsi sata ports, multiple USB drives, reformatting, reinstalling freenas, run memtest for more than 48hours. Is there any chance I might have problems with my mobo, CPU or psu? If yes how would I know?

 

[SweetAndLow]

Could be power supply. If something is unexplainable it's probably the power supply.

Well thing is I never get a random shutdown, I am only getting errors which either lead to looping in error state or to a reboot and "stalbe" state, so I am not sure if it can be a PSU problem. Plus the PSU I have was brand new when I baught it (technically pulled from unused stock, seasonic ss 550ht)

 

[Jonnhy]

Hi again. So I took advice from users with similar problems and apparently an HBA card fixed their problems . I got an LSI 92108i and successfully flashed it into IT mode. My problems did not go away unfortunately and this is a screenshot of the first few messages from console. Also I have been getting the following warning in FreeNAS

Firmware version 16 does not match driver version 21 for /dev/mps0. Please flash controller to P21 IT firmware. but according to everyone version P16 is the most stable one, should I reflash it? And if I do the most recent available version is 20 not 21???

 

[Ericloewe]

but according to everyone version P16 is the most stable one

Maybe two years ago.

should I reflash it?

Yes, the error message asked you to. It's impolite not to do so.

And if I do the most recent available version is 20 not 21???

That is a bug. You want P20.0.00.7

 

[Jonnhy]

Hi so I reflashed the card again to P20.0.00.7 unfortunately that was not the problem either, so I keep having my system crash minutes and sometimes seconds after I start a transfer using samba. If I just leave the system idling its all fine and it never crashes. The temperatures of the hard drives never go above 40 C and the CPU never goes above 45 C. Here is a dump from the console from startup:

What about the controller, is it getting a bit of airflow?

 

[Jonnhy]

Well I do not know how to check it, but it is in the airflow path from the fans of the hard drives...

That should be enough, assuming it's not blocked by obstacles...

 

[Jonnhy]

Honestly I truly appreciate all the help and guidance that I have received so far in this forum, but is there anything else that anyone can suggest/help me with in order to have my machine in normal operational state please. Thanks

I also went through the console output above and I think that the following lines are quite important and might be the reason for my errors. However I have no idea how to "translate" what they are saying.

Code:

If I were u, id say, “this is not working”, and start again, try with new M/B.

No use flogging a dead horse.

ok so I have tried multiple different things the past few days, since I got some free time. The system is fine if I settup all the drives as individual stripes and right now it appears to function ok in raid Z1. So it is probably what I was afraid of, that raidz2 has some kind of problem, which I have seen in other posts too. The only reason that I wanted raidz2 is that my drives are 5tb in size and I have heard that with that size it is likely that a drive can fail during resilvering, rendering all the data unusable...

There should not really be that much difference between the disk layouts that can cause the problems you are seeing. I wonder if you have a bad disk or 2? Have you looked at the smart data? Can you also try a fresh install of freenas.
