Network traffic speed goes sooo slow on my NAS reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CrazyShipTed · 2023-10-25 07:37 Hi guys, I'm suffering from this problem for a few weeks, having no idea what to do now... First, this is my Nas info: * System: OMV5 * CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 5300GE * Motherboard: Asus b450m PRO GAMING (2.5G) * Drive: 4 x 2TB SSD * Memory: 64GB The thing is, I use 1G router in my home network, NAS is connected to it using cable, this works great, I can view any movie up to 80m/s on my phone using SMB or SFTP. Weeks ago I run a script to update all docker containers on NAS, including qbittorent, jellyfin, sonarr and etc., and update system packages. Days later I found it stucks when I open a Blu-ray movie on my phone. So I checked network status (MXPlayer on phone) and it shows only 500kb/s. The problem solved by reboot NAS, but if I drag progress bar too quick or many times, it reproduces again, can't recover until reboot... I also found after downloading movies using qbittorrent for hours, it happens. So I tried: 1. Looking into the system log and other logs under /var/log/, but nothing related is reported in logs. 2. Using different file sharing protocol, smb, ftp, sftp, ftps, when the problem happens, they all transfer at around 500kb/s. 3. Looking into result of ethtool, it shows the network is at 1000M/s level. 4. Use iperf3, the network from NAS can go up to 958MB/s both tx and rx, but 7MB/s when the problem reproduces. 5. Copy a large file on drive A to and from drive B, average speed is 200Mb/s. 6. Using netstat to see packet loss, but it shows 0% loss. I'm currently using a stupid solution: script to reboot at mid night... But it interrupts a lot of task of my services. So, is there any tool or way I can try to solve it? Thanks!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TBT_TBT · 2023-10-25 08:17 Dude, first of all: get your units straight. You throw stuff around which doesn’t exist (like „m/s“ or „M/s“, meters per second?), so without making sure that YOU know what unit you really mean, WE cannot know what unit you really mean. To be able to analyze a problem means that the problem itself is described precisely. Also: what should we do with your imprecise description on what you have done? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CrazyShipTed · 2023-10-25 08:55 Ok, it's typo for unit of ethtool, just correct it. But isn't it common to use MB/s refer to Megabytes per second and Mb/s for Megabits per second? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TBT_TBT · 2023-10-25 08:56 That yes, but your „80m/s“ are still in the text. No idea what that should mean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CrazyShipTed · 2023-10-25 09:03 Found that after first editing... I guess there's no typo now. Thanks😁 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Legitimate_Farm_3095 · 2023-10-25 12:36 this sounds like a /r/networkinghelp problem and not a self hosted problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- citruspers · 2023-10-25 14:28 Nice troubleshooting steps, even though you're (still) mixing up some units ;) I'm guessing something in the network card or its driver, or an issue in your network (congestion, flooding?). Any chance you can manually reload/restart the networking system? I don't know about OMV but on a linux distro it's usually a matter of restarting networking/NetworkManager etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CrazyShipTed · 2023-10-25 14:58 Seems I need to move the post. Thanks mate ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TBT_TBT · 2023-10-25 15:13 Dude, you still throw the units around like nothing else. Get a grasp on what is what and how to write it down. This is especially important in a post where it is all about speeds AND UNITS. This doesn't help yourself and it makes it more difficult for us or even impossible to analyze the problem IF YOU DON'T EVEN GET THE UNITS RIGHT!!!! If you really have 80 Mbits/s (write it this way for gods sake!) between your phone and your NAS (via Wifi), this is quite close to the Blueray maximum of 53,95 Mbit/s. When scraping around, even more than this is needed and when playing, you need a continuous stream of a - in your case - quite high bitrate. Playing Bluerays on a phone does not make any sense, nor does storing them in full size. Convert them to MP4 or MKV with H264 or H265, e.g. using [https://handbrake.fr/](https://handbrake.fr/) and instead of 45 GBytes, you will have a file with maybe 7-12 Gbytes. That is more efficient to store and WAY more efficient to play via network. If you really only get 80 Mbits/s via Wifi, you should definitely upgrade your access point or router. With Wifi 6, you can get 8-10x the speed over 5 Ghz. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CrazyShipTed · 2023-10-25 16:31 Sorry bro, just realized I completely messed up with unit... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk · 2023-10-25 22:05 ## Post Removed Hey, CrazyShipTed!
