iSCSI strange behavior with random write (utorrent)

Hello,

I'm using RND6 Pro with E7300/4Gb/6*2Tb WD Black (x-raid/raid5 mode) and windows 8.1 x64 as client.

all NICs are Gigabit. One NIC at client and one NIC at RND.

Later I had FW 4.2.27 and one LUN (500Gb) connected to client as utorrent downloads target.

I was able to download 2-3 torrents with ISO files (linux distro or MS distro) at the same time, before "disk overloaded 100%" at utorrent.

 

Now I've updated to FW 6.3.5 (nothing else were changed!), created Thick LUN, conncted it to client and start utorrent.

 

Even with one torrent file (two ISOs) I got "disk overloaded 100"

Need any advice about this problem.

 

P.S. Please don't advice to use smb/cifs - I need iSCSI disk.

    Is the LUN thin/thick?

    Did you enable bit-rot protection?

    What about snapshots?

    What about sync writes?

      Hello, mdgm.

       

      LUN is Thick.

      no, bit-rot protection is off (default setting)

      no snapshot (disabled)

       

      sync write is allowed (default setting)

        Can you disable sync writes and see what difference this makes?

         

        Do you recall which firmware you were running when you created the LUN?
