Good work! Love seeing a fellow seeder on here!

Da good stuff

lol I love how these always do the “We’ll get them all this time for sure!”

Awesome, so that’s good news. Disks probably just fine.

My next thoughts are on the service itself then… Your service providing the share might be getting throttled or not getting direct access to kernel hooks for performance.

Simplest test I would think is set up Samba or NFS in the host itself, not a container. Try a large transfer there. If speed isn’t an issue that way, then something at the container level is hindering you.

Hmm, at a glance those all look to be CMR.

To rule this out ideally, a tool like iostat (part of sysstat tools) can help. While moving data, and with the problem happening, if you run something like “iostat 1 -mx” and watch for a bit, you might be able to find an outlier or see evidence of if the drives are overloaded or of data is queueing up etc.

Notably watch the %util on the right side.

https://www.golinuxcloud.com/iostat-command-in-linux/ can help here a bit.

The %util is how busy the communication to the drive is… if maxed out, but the written per second is junk, then you may have a single bad disk. If many are doing it, you may have a design issue.

If %util doesn’t stay pegged, and you just see small bursts, then you know the disks are NOT the issue and can then focus on more complex diagnosis with networking etc.

What drives? If they are shingled, your performance will be terrible and the array runs a high risk of failing.

CMR is the way to go.

SMR behavior is about like what you describe… Fast until the drive cache is filled then plummets to nothing.

Not for long at this rate…

“so there’s this dude named God…”

Yeah, my personal experience was similar but it’s all volunteers in the community doing the interviews.

I kept my queue window open and just chilled nearby and it came sooner than they estimated by a bit. Been worth it for me though.

I am not in it, but there’s a similar site called Orpheus that might be easier time wise to interview for, but I don’t have much experience with them.

Doots for fellow Slacker!

Redacted has a pretty good amount of DVD rips, DSD etc. not all encompassing but definitely not rare there.

I’m interested, primarily in the idea that some parts could be useful longer term… I’m an old school Internet janitor, and appreciate the idea that enshittification is a moving target.

I’d ask up front though if you’ve seen or considered Veilid? It might be wise to evaluate working with that as a baseline so a stronger fight against the shit can be had.

Let’s fuck up some fascists.

Are there specific issues noted, or just asking based on the time last updated?

I’ve thought about looking over to see what might need cleaned up, but many of my personal use cases or methods might not fully align with the general consensus.

Along the same lines, is there anything you’d like to see added?

How old is that power supply? I’ve seen several that just the act of it being unplugged for 5 minutes allows it to boot again.

The theory being a capacitor or such needed a chance to calm down a bit somewhere, and something in the power supply or mainboard would proceed until power was back to normal.

Especially common if there’s brownouts or surges.
