The last week I have had some issues with my unraid is getting slow. among things I’m running storj on it. This could very well be unrelated to storj, but I’ll ask the question - last time I had issues the Storj would not shutdown, everythign else stopped, except Storj, I even tried using kill in the terminal. And when doing so I noticed there was (If I read it right) 4774 threads for Storj. Is that normal? ![unraid](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/2/2f1ca5528b874f8e2af1cc25d733aee00f5e6905.png) Now, I don’t know if that is the issue, but just wonder if anyone else is seeing similar issues? ---

Update - Once I had the system up and running again, it seemed to show a more reasonable amount of threads: ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/b/b1dc8cccb252d883c581e68d40df33498f85c3b4.png) after a couple of hours I had another look and it was up to about 80 some threads (Not terrible). Then a bit later it seemed to have taken a turn for the worse with 1045, ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/c/cae9859b44cbc3ad9717845c8795acd35721f4ad.png) and about 20s later I ran pstree again and it showed 1206: ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/d/d27d27df1505e7c86ac976c640601cbff0e8cce0.png) I not checked this when everything is normal, but I can’t imagine that this is normal? ---

are you mounting ext4 with unassigned devices or using xfs/btrfs with unraids array? ---

I could guess, but you also see a huge memory usage (GiB instead of MiB), right? This is usually related to a slow disk or filesystem. ---

Slow disk performance writing Storj Data is likely what it was. I’m getting more data and writing directly to the array + it was writing to a slower SATA disk (since unraid needs to read data to update the parity disk this is probably the reason) I moved it to a cache pool last night and it’s been running great over night ---

To avoid these problems I have it as unassigned and formatted as ext4. Much better performance than xfs ---

I second that. ext4 is a best FS for storagenode at the moment
