APoolTodayKeepsTheNasAway Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ive noticed that while balancing, or removing from pool, transfers seem to only occur at about 40MBs whereas a normal manual transfer or test on the drive can see upwards of 150MBs. Is there a way around that? Is it a purposeful restriction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jaga Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Click the double-right arrow to the right of the balancing bar while it's working. That will increase priority on the re-balance and speed up transfers. APoolTodayKeepsTheNasAway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but while I do see the speed occasionally go up to 50 and 60 so at least its an improvement), its still a far cry from what I've seen the same drives do in tests.

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This is intentional, actually. The software uses a background priority for balancing. This way, it doesn't interfere with normal usage. If you want, you can edit the settings json file to permanently change that: http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_2.x_Advanced_Settings#Settings.json Set the "override" setting for "FileBalance_BackgroundIO" to "False", and restart the service.

Is there a way around that? Is it a purposeful restriction?
