I have two nodes on the same computer. The largest node is 8.6 Tb. It’s on a 14TB hard drive. The smallest node is 1.26 Tb. It’s on an 8TB hard drive. Hard drives are shared to store more things. There is space available for the node to grow. The large 9.6 Tb node had responsiveness issues. I se…

I think the biggest node bottleneck is the hard drive. The hard drive is not capable of responding to so many data input or output requests.

I would: check the 3 drives if one ore more is SMR tech. check smart data. defragment the big node with ultradefrag while set to full. (.yaml setting to 8.6TB restart) buy an small ssd (512GB?) move the log, orders and databases of all 2 nodes to the ssd. wait 14month and set up an 3rd n…

1 Units are not smr. 2 I was told not to defragment the drive. Which is not good for storj. 3 You could move the registry and database to the system ssd. I have been looking into moving the logs and database to the ssd. If the records and the database are lost, is there a problem? Last year the…

[image] Vicente: If the records and the database are lost, is there a problem? Loss of statistics for dashboard. Maybe the node has to be restarted with the new place for dbs in case of ssd failure. Nothing to bad. Node can survive this if detected by uptimerobot. [image] Vicente: Woul…

Registry and database. All the files in the root of the disk where the node is? Are there hidden files? Does windows defragmenter work fine? In this forum they have recommended me not to defragment the disk.

What do you mean with registry? For moving dbs there are topics here in the forum. No hidden files Basicaly -stop the node -move dbs -announce path for dbs in config.yaml with notepad++ -start the node -go to logs and dashboard and check if working. Windows defrag works fine. It does basic …

[image] daki82: Windows defrag works fine. It does basic defrag. Ultradefrag is way better and free. Please stop defragmenting NTFS. there are no benefits. Small files are already stored within MFT. MFT does not get fragmented as long as you don’t fill the disk to the brim. (You should not d…

[image] Windows Node optimisation getting started Hello Storj operators. I would like to share with you my latest founding’s to optimis node work. UltraDefrag download | SourceForge.net UltraDefrag 11 - Portable Disk Defragmenter | Official Website this to software ver…

But the beauty of the technology is that opinions don’t matter, and facts are verifiable. I did not see any verifiable data from those posts beyond the pacebo effect – “node feels faster”. Logic, on the other hand, does not support any defragmentation benefits. Defragmentation helps in two way, bo…

In Windows GUI setup you likely have your identity on the system drive in the %AppData%\Storj\Identity\storagenode folder, by default the wizard will setup the node on your system drive too, so the folder orders will be in %ProgramFiles%\Storj\Storage Node\orders. We usually recommend to copy/move …
