I've noticed lately that once there is some load on the server, there seems to be a heavy (random?) read bottleneck that I really do not know how to put my finger on.
dd writes seem to be ok, but reads either get stuck or something - not quite sure at this point.
eg. around 3-4 Plex streams going at once, I will have troubles (on my LAN) starting a new stream. Regardless of device, regardless of connection (WLAN, LAN 1G or 10G).
SSH into the server, everything seems fine until I try to ls/ll the folder, then there is just a delay even to list the dir.
time dd TO the NFS share which has the video data works ok it seems with 204 MB/s:
time dd FROM the NFS share just get's stuck because it's absurdly slow and I don't understand why:
Reading from the same share via my Windows desktop connected via 10gbe seems to be ok as well:
So it seems there is something going on between that linux server and my storage server - not sure what tools to use to track this down.
both VM's are on the same host, both use a dedicated vswitch/nic/subnet for storage.
napp-it vm is 4vcpu - 40GB RAM
the media share is Z2 with 10 spinners in one vdev.
Anyone who has a suggestion - I would really appreciate!
Thanks
