Hi!
In UnRAID I am trying to use an unassigned device as a download folder. I cannot use my pool because the random IO puts a lot of stress on the pool and CPU and is INCREDIBLY slow to do (22 MB/s).
When I use the drive to download files. It works initially then it slows down and stops. I don’t understand why. Any information on this would be a help thanks.
I am trying to set up a folder on a seperate drive that the torrents will download to. Then moving the files over to the array which will de-fragment them.
I have set up an auto-mounted drive that has the appropriate folders.
The folders have been passed through to qBittorrent. That’s about it.
You can also add the drive to the array and exclude it from the shares. Then add a share for that specific drive FYI. You don’t have to leave it unassigned.
I would but the drive is pretty small and I think the limiting factor is that the array has parity. You’re probably right about that I noticed some high RAM usage before the system locked up when 1 of the downloads did work
This isnt really a solution for your current issues but I run my downloader inside a VM and mount the network share on the guest. This is a little more bloated but I understand how it works and can manipulate it easier.
I’m sure theres logs somewhere that would tell you something about the container but I wouldnt know where to begin there.
