Hello!
I have a problem with my Raid 5.
The problem is that over the network the transfer rate is after a short while down to 1% from the normal 25-30%
From my desktop machine running windows XP I am moving a file to my Server. The transfer rate is in the beginning fast (I assume it´s the caching) but after a few seconds It becomes horrible slow.
Machines + Config
Server:
Core 2 Duo
2Gb Ram
Asus P5B Plus
4x Seagate 500Gb disks on Intel ICH8R in Raid 5
1x Sysdisk
Gbit Network Card on the PCI bus
XP Machine
Core 2 machine.
Gbit network
Ofc Gbit switch
Let me show you using pictures.
In this picture I move a file from my XP machine to the Raid 5 partition on my Win2k3 machine.
at first it´s fast then it becomes unbarebly slow.
On the second pic. It has gone about 5min or so when it goes fast again for a little while.
On the third pic. I am moving the same file to my sys disk. That goes at normal speed.
Internal, file moving is functioning good and no slowdowns like these are happening.
I havn´t found any solution or explanation for it beeing so slow. I have tried and disable write cache but it didn´t help.
Best regards
