Hi,
I have had a new issue arise in the past month or so that was not present when I initially installed CachyOS about 2 months ago. Just as background, I am a bit familiar with Arch as I have used in on and off for 15 years. I am able to navigate the system ok but I am definitely NOT an expert.
The issue: the write speed to all non-root drives has decreased to about 2 MB/s for all drives except the SATA SSD that CachyOS is installed on. The write speed for the root drive is normal (peaking at 500 MB/s and decreasing with sustained writes as would be expected.)
This is a newish motherboard, processor and fairly new drives, including 3 other SATA SSDs, and one fast NVME drive that is directly PCIE connected.
In addition to the fact that the write speeds to all of these mounted drives had been normal in CachyOS 2 months ago when I first installed it, running an Ubuntu Live USB today, all of the write speeds are normal. And when I boot into Windows10 (SATA SSD) all of the write speeds to all drives are normal
Thus, It does not appear to be a hardware problem.
However, in CachyOS, all other drives besides / (ZFS) are riduculously limited to 2 MB/sec (SATA, NVME, USB)
The same problem occurs whether the drives are mounted explicitly using /etc/fstab or with system-d mount.
I have tried looking at lsmod, lspci and hdparm variables, and can not find anything that seems funny – but again, I’m not an expert.
Hopefully, someone will be able to clue me in to which setting I jacked up inadvertently.
thank you
edit: I did notice that I had made one change to /etc/fstab: mounting so that users of the “otherdisks” group would have rw permissions on the mounted drives. Other than that, things look pretty default???
edit2: added $zfs list
