Slow X6 after HDD expansion

[Kaizen]

Hi All

I have a trusty X6 that has been upgraded from 4 x 500GB to 4 x 1TB. This was an expansion and not a rebuild from scratch.

I'm running RAIDiator 4.1.7 and I have noticed a huge drop in my transfer speed (read and write) as well as VERY sluggish Frontview performance. I have rebooted the X6 but with no success.

I was getting around 12 kB/s but I'm now at 5 kB/s.

This is purely speculation but it feels as if the X6 is doing something that is killing its CPU. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What model 1TB drives did you install?

I know there isn't an HCL for the X6 but it is a Sparc based ReadyNAS so you should be able to use the NV as a reference point.

Hi

Well, two nights of R&R seems to have done the X6 a world of good. I guess there were processes still running that I hadn't counted on.

I'm back to where I was before the upgrade from a throughput perspective so all is well.

Thank you!
