So i recently upgaded to proxmox 9, and everything seemed fine.
however, my fileserver ( proxmox helper script for turnkey os with debian bookworm ) had some weird issues
i haven't heard any issues from my jellyfin users ( lxc comtainer, (ubuntu Jammy)), but for myself i ran into issues playing files in windows straight from the file server. To sum up what happens, it comes down to ; if i want to copy a file it will copy for 15 seconds with 100MB/s , then wait for 10 seconds, end then starts copying again. , when doing the same from other windows pc's , vlc playback or whatever, the timestamps are always the same . So at time x the entire file server stops for 10 seconds....
I still haven't figured out what it was , but since it cost me a few hours, I'd thought, lets post this so maybe someone else can benefit from what I've learnt.
so in the end i decided to take a new Debian lxc container ( trixie) and rebuild the file server with that, since turnkey has way more features then i need.....
since the storage can be directly attached from the proxmox server , the entire test of using another machine only took 15 minutes or so...
and all was working like never before, constant transfers of files of around 220 MB/s and no stops at all
So something is wrong with my turnkey server, but i can't figure out what.
I did test copying files ( scp) from on lxc container to the other in Linux lxc's ad that didn't seem to produce any issues or hick-ups.
also a transfer ( scp) from the turnkey server into the local storage of my backup proxmox server had no issues.
only issues was from the turnkey server into windows. and i still have no clue why.
i saved the server, and it is turned off, maybe with the right suggestions i can try to figure out what's wrong with it , so others can benefit.
so all i have left is the system specs i guess:
server:
ram: 16 gb
networking: 2.5 gb nic
storage:
ntfs filesystem ( yes i know it's uncommon... but the storage was yanked from my windows desktop, it's been running for years)
Adaptec ASR8805 raid controller with 3 8-tb disks in raid 5 mode
windows desktop:
not really relevant i guess, decent gaming rig with 2.5 gb nic
