Hi everyone !
I'm a web developer and I want to use my Synology NAS for testing.
My configuration: DS920+ / DSM 7.1.1 / 4x Seagate Ironwolf 6TB (ST6000VN001) / RAID 5 Btrfs
I installed Docker but when I run a database container (MySQL8) the initialization takes almost 8 minutes (against 30 seconds on my Macbook M1) !!
Meanwhile, DSM Resource Monitor shows the write speed to the volume is 4-5MB/sec (the docker container creates a 200MB data folder with small files).
I first thought of a Docker performance issue with DSM and decided to install a Linux VM with Virtual Machine Manager. But it was again extremely slow (write speed to the volume 4-6MB/s no more) => almost one hour for minimal installation.
I finally realize that write speeds on my DS920+ are as follows:
I know that writing small files reduces speed but these are very low, heavily impacting Docker and VMM performance and making them pretty much unusable (the slightest install of a program is terribly slow).
What do you think of these write speeds ? Is this normal with my setup ?
Thanks.

I finally realize that write speeds on my DS920+ are as follows:
- Up to 130 MB/s for a single large file (which seems normal)
- 5-10 MB/s for a directory with many small files
