Intermitent very low upload speeds

[ghost]

I am facing very low speeds when uploading files after some time. It's totally inconsistent. Sometimes I can upload as much as 30 Gb with the full upstream and then drops for an unknown reason. Syncing, remounting and removing the cache nodes don't help.

Does anybody have a clue in how to solve this?

I have the same problem. Once in a while it just uploads a file with 100kb/s, but most of the time it uploads with full speed. If I cancel the upload and try it again it goes back to full speed again.

Mounting with or without -i0 doesn't influence, also.

I've seen this behavior on my end as well. Think it has more todo with ACD then the mount it self, but im not sure

What do you mean by and how do you get "full upstream" ? Is it full speed ? Personally, moving a file to an acd_cli mount has, at best, 500kb/s.

While acd_cli upload -x 10 went as fast as 12Mb/s (and I couldn't find what the 'x' option does, or what '10' stands for. But thanks reddit anyway)

Hello @El-Fitz. I meant, by "full upstream", taking the whole available speed in my connection here: 25 MB/s for upload. Is it wrong to use the term "full upstream"? ESL learner here, always trying to improve.

Unfortunately, I can't upload files with your method, as I'm using an encrypted fs (encfs) that is mounted on top of the acd's folder. I'm basically rsyncing my files with the --inplace option to avoid the creation of hidden files. Apart from the speed issues, which has been improved, everything works fine.

I'm also using encfs It's quite simple actually.

Have a look at this: https://amc.ovh You'd then only have to use acdcli upload -o (for overwrite, just in case. Matter of personal preference, I imagine) -rsf (remove source file) -x 10 /path/to/.local-sorted

And voilà ! :-)

Thank you for the link, @El-Fitz. Doesn't it imply that you need to have a mirror copy in your local drive? In my scenario here, the encrypted folder at ACD is larger than all my local disks combined.

[El-Fitz]

@maiaftv Nope. That's the beauty of it. Just have to mirror the structure (path to the file).

Would be quite useless if you had to make a mirror copy. The union-fs part isn't what you need. It just enables to "display" the local mount and the remote one as a single volume, a whole other matter.

This sounds really good, @El-Fitz! I will try it here. Thank you very much.

I finally managed some time to read the articles thoroughly. Issue has been solved. Thanks, @El-Fitz
