As short as possible:
I have:
Fujitsu Futro S550 (1x1Ghz Sempron 2100+, 512mb RAM, 512MB CF Card, PCI-4xSata Card, PSU for 4x2TB WD Nasware HDDs)
TinyCore installed
I want:
Raid 5 (MDADM)
SAMBA
I did:
bootup .sh
- Assemble Raid
- Create user nas (no PW)
- Create dir in /home/nas/raid for mounting RAID
- Mount Raid
- Create SAMBA user nas (also no pw)
It finally boots up and without setting anything else up it instantly can work with my windows 10 PC.
Transfering small files works perfectly fine. Moving (just for test) "all_in_one_runtimes_installer.exe" with 330mb size works not so good! It starts good with 60mb/s, just before the end it slows down to less than 2mb/s and than tiny core user interface is no more usable!
I already checked, if the files get saved to /dev/sde1 (512M CF), but they do not - there is not even enought space for the file anyway, yet it finishes upload. SAMBA still is active (usable through windows, but very slow even for tiny files in order of 5kb)
Even after some time the system does not react at all. What am I doing wrong? CPU is not hot (so no 100% usage)
Is it a RAM related issue, or is the kernel crashing or something? Please help. I am very frustrated - worked over 5-8 hours to get to this stage and now large files crash the thinclient. Why not with small files?
Please help, thanks.
Edit:
When trying to move another file, I get the message from windows, that there is not enought space - how??? 4x2TB-2TB - 6TB of space on the raid!
Edit2:
I found the problem! I tried just a 100MB file and still the system did show no change in disk space - after rebooting however, it showed it is 91% full instead of 54%.
So I think, even though I did mount the RAID in /home/nas/raid, the files do not save on the RAID, they save locally. But how is it possible? I mean, the folder RAID shows as a HDD - but only that one. The folders inside do not. Also, the "properties" of the folder should show details of the raid with the max size, but it only shows, it is located in /home/nas/raid and is 100MB large. No max capacity shown, though it should show the capacity of the RAID.
It worked before (but not SAMBA
). Why does it not save the files on the mounted drive, but locally?
