hey yeah, no stress!

just lemme know if you’d want someone to brainstorm with.

lemme know if you need some tshooting remotely, if schedules permit, we can do screenshares

I had this issue when I used kubernetes, sata SSDs cant keep up, not sure what Evo 980 is and what it is rated for but I would suggest shutting down all container IO and do a benchmark using fio.

my current setup is using proxmox, rusts configured in raid5 on a NAS, jellyfin container.

all jf container transcoding and cache is dumped on a wd750 nvme, while all media are store on the NAS (max. BW is 150MBps)

you can monitor the IO using IOstat once you’ve done a benchmark.

I’d check high I/O wait, specially if your all of the vms are on HDDs.

one of the solution I had for this issue was to have multiple DNS servers. solved it by buying a raspberry pi zero w and running a 2nd small instance of pihole there. I made sure that the piZeroW is plugged on a separate circuit in my home.
