Slow since upgrade to 8Beta1

[awsic]

Ever since upgrading to 8Beta1 my sabnzbd has been horribly slow. Sometimes I can't SSH into the box because it's unresponsive.
I get:

Code: Select all

Unrecoverable error in the server.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sabnzbdplus/cherrypy/_cpwsgi.py", line 180, in trap
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/sabnzbdplus/cherrypy/_cpwsgi.py", line 99, in __call__
    return self.nextapp(environ, start_response)

  File "/usr/share/sabnzbdplus/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 617, in run
    raise cherrypy.TimeoutError()
TimeoutError

On the same hardware I also run CouchPotato and Sickbeard; no problem with response time. When I first open Sab to see what is coming down it takes upwards of (10 min?) long time and then navigating around it the various config screens is horrible, too.

Today I removed 8Beta1 and wanted to downgrade to 7.20 but the jcfp/ppa is handing out 8beta1 and not sure where to find 7.20 (Ubuntu).

Any ideas on either how to fix the slowdown or where to find 7.20 for Ubuntu? I'd run a "top" to see what's going on but... SSH times out.

Thanks.

What kind of HW and OS is that?

Logon physically to the machine, and type "top". If you can't do that, reboot the sytem.

Hardware is a Dell PowerEdge R200
Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-68-generic x86_64)
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3210 @ 2.13GHz
4GB RAM

Here is the output of top:

Top looks good, doesn't it?

If you still want SABnzbd 0.7.20 for Linux, download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbd ... z/download

Stop SABnzbd (sudo service sabnzbdplus stop), unpack the downloaded 0.7.20 (tar xvzf SABnzbd-0.7.20-src.tar.gz), and run it (./SABnzbd.py)

BTW: "download_dir = /nfs/media/Downloads/incomplete": is that a NFS drive across your LAN or even Internet. If so ... using a download / incomplete accross a LAN is asking for problems. Use a drive in your system.

[awsic]

Yes, the nfs is on my FreeNAS box - in the LAN. Funny - I've done that since... forever and I guess I've always just been lucky. Never an issue with the download/incomplete before. But I"ll take your advise and move it back to local. I'll do that first, run it, maybe something there is causing a slow down. ? Was python updated with i ran the 8Beta1? I'm grasping here - looking for anything that could contribute to the slowness.

Can I use the same *.INI file for 7.20 as I am with 8Beta1?

Thanks.

[sander]

You can switch between 0.7 and 0.8, as long as your queue is empty

[awsic]

thx... now if only I could get the "sudo service sabnzbdplus stop" to actually stop this service... rebooting.

[awsic]

I believe the slowdown is related to unpacking. I cleared out my queue and then changed the download/incomplete directory to local (home/<me>/...) and had sab retrieve a file. It's been in the unpacking phase for well over 40 minutes on a 882MB file (retrieved in 53 seconds). The unpacking is progressing but like molasses (18/18).

Two things stand out that this could be:
1.) months ago I installed the par2 tbb version and it could be possible that somehow I flubbed that up.
2.) if par2 multi-thread is messed up then I might have trickle down trouble when enabling "use 64 bit tools"

... and it's worth a check on the I/O nice parameters. (?)

[jcfp]

Your ps output shows no running par2 or unrar processes, sab is running but seems idle with the process using 0.0% cpu. Yet sysload is steady in the 3-4 range, although some 3/4 of system memory is (effectively) free and the cpu is mostly idle as well. Something doing lots of disk i/o? Try iotop, and also check the syslog for abnormalities.

The 64 bit tools settings only affects windoze systems so that's not it.

[awsic]

When I login to the server:
System information disabled due to load higher than 4.0

Normally my system load is in the decimal range - < .7
Currently sab is unpacking a file with 36 parts (1.7GB - on part 23/36.)

Below is iotop output (post was too large):
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=e ... d47c%21408

[sander]

I would start by also having Complete on your local, builtin disk (not a NFS share)

[awsic]

Ok, so i've also temporarily moved completed to local. No change

It gets slow during unpacking. Is there a new switch somewhere in the config that 8beta1 introduced? Is there anything new in that area? What about the program that unpacks - is it the exact same version or has it been upgraded, too?

What I've noticed is that unpacking starts fast (normal) but then it bogs down. (?)

Unpacking process:
Sysload: 16.41 | 12.74 | 6.62 | V=2779M R=617M

Thx.

[sander]

Those unpack programs are just unrar and par2 as provided by your OS Ubuntu. Not by SABnzbd.

Things to test:
Set SABnzbd Logging to +Debug, run again, and check your log:

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log | grep -i unrar
2015-11-14 19:03:44,134::INFO::[newsunpack:233] Unrar starting on /media/sander/4760a33b-fcbf-4a18-ae6d-e55de0597f30/sander/Downloads/incomplete/blabla
2015-11-14 19:03:44,205::DEBUG::[newsunpack:607] Running unrar ['/usr/bin/unrar', 'x', '-idp', '-o-', '-or', '-p-', '/media/sander/4760a33b-fcbf-4a18-ae6d-e55de0597f30/sander/Downloads/incomplete/blabla/blabla.part01.rar', '/media/sander/4760a33b-fcbf-4a18-ae6d-e55de0597f30/sander/Downloads/complete/_UNPACK_blabla/']

There you see the switched used.

You can also do a download and set the download option to +Repair. If that's fast, go into the download directory and run unrar manually.

Or, most easy: stop SAB 0.8.x, downoad SAB 0.7.20, unpack it, start it, and measure speed.

[awsic]

Ok, thx. I'll try all you mention. I think first I'll stop sab, uninstall unrar & par2, re-install then activate sab - measure. if no improvement I'll try 7.20.
