Hello UNRAID forums,
I am a new user and seem to be kind of fumbling my way through unraid, Maybe changed a few settings which made things act funny, made things disapear, having performance issues.
So some issues I have been having is array speeds, maybe I am expecting to much. Coming from freenas I am used to a downstream of 100mb+ , unraid i am getting around 20-40mb.
write speeds jump high to around 110mb for a few gigabytes then plummet to below 10
I have some docker containers running, everytime i reboot the containers disapear and i need to re-install them, however there settings remain. so its a simple task.
I am switching from Freenas to Unraid so that i essentially can combine 3 machines in the house into 1. (Freenas, Windows Server, Openelec HTPC)
What I am looking for in this post is for someone to direct me the best way to setup my unraid installation for best performance. What am I doing with unraid
---------------------------------
VMs - VYoS, Libreelec,Windows Server
VYoS - Router/Firewall Obviously, Am Passing an INTEL 4x1GB PCI-E Network Controller
Libreelec - To replace my Openelec HTPC, Will be passing through USB device for boblight, and discrete GPU, Would also like to passthrough a bluray drive, but VM hangs on POST when trying to pass the drive
Windows Server - Running Homeseer, there is a linux version available on there website, I would really like to run this in a docker container, but am finding that a good guide for unraid containers hard to find. Also running INSYNC but there are dockers available for this
-------------------------------
Dockers - McMyAdmin (Minecraft Server), Couch Potato, Sickbeard, SABNZBD, Would like Homeseer but can't find a container, and am left more confused everytime i try to figure it out.
----------------------------------
Hardware -
1x 1TB SSHD WD Black
2x 80GB SSD (Older Intel drives)
4x HDD Ranging from 2tb - 4tb,
--------------------------------
Passthrough-
Sending GPU and Arduino to Libreelec
Sending USB Insteon PLM to Windows Server for Home Seer (i would really rather have this in a docker)
*Trying to send BluRay to Libreelec, hangs at memcheck
What drive(s) should I be using for caching?
What shares should be using what drives?
ETC
I do not have alot of data on the array and have a local backup so wiping the array is an option
Thanks guys for you're help
