If you tried each memory stick and nothing... guess they would not fail both at same time? Did you tried to reset cmos?

http://zakalwe.fi/~shd/foss/cksfv/ Did you tried this one? Quick look at code seems it uses just a 16k buffer, not entire file placed on memory buffer. Anyway, would be a lot better you hash files with md5... performance is not a valid reason, unless you have a really old server... else md5 calculation should be actually fast, comparing with the speed your hdd's can read data, then no disadvantage at all in using it. Try to md5sum a big file on your server and at same time check your cpu usage with top and see if really worth using crc32...

IMO it must be sorcery really When you say that speed increases when you re-open Chrome, you mean just Chrome with empty (or some other) page... or only when you open unRaid webgui on Chrome?

Just update to latest version, there was an important fix since rc16a to sort the problem you describe.

@gsd2012: what unraid version you are using?

You by chance have a file named 'syslinux' (with no file extension at all) on your flash root (probably syslinux installer for linux/mac, if you ever manually put it there) ? If yes, then it is the reason for the error, you can't have a directory and file with same name, you can delete the file anyway. Anyway, Tom instructions to avoid that sort of problems are:

You can't "directly" upgrade php by just installing slackware php package, unRaid comes with a minimalistic custom php compilation (despite same version as slackware package) with a lot of features disabled and different configuration from default one on slackware package... You can do it, but you need to adjust some settings on php.ini (disable short_open_tag, disable showing notices, and disabling a few modules that depends on libs that are not included on unRaid, or you need to install these libs...). BTW, do you really need to update? Do you have it (unraid webgui or some other http server on it using php...) exposed to the Internet? I do have full php from slackware package (and apache) running on my unRaid server, but I did never bothered to use the updated packages from the 'patches' dir, as actually I use it only for internal LAN usage, not exposed to the Internet, but I guess these updated ones should work with similar configuration adjustments required.

@peter_sm: Just for curiosity you mean you had to recompile vbox (again) after upgrading to unRaid 5.0.4 or you did your own compile just before upgrading unRaid and still ok?

The download subdomain eats up around 180 GB/month. The main site uses around 250 GB/month, which seems inconceivable to me, but appears most of it is consumed by the forum. When both the downloads and rest of the site were on the same host we were constantly hitting up against the bandwidth limit, which is why they are hosted on two separate servers. I'd set up my own server here, but our building only has crappy DSL, though "sometime in the spring" we're supposedly getting fibre in here. 180GB/month... average 72KB/s... sure there are burst hours, but still... hitting bandwidth limit with forum!? lol these guys are just fun... best thing you could do would be IMO get a decent vps... not sure if dedicated server would justify for such amounts... though it would be the best service quality... no shared resources with others... and full control on it... downloads isolation as zoggy pointed could be surely reached with virtualization on it, but... well if forum, blog, etc always updated, etc... and currently on shared hosting with other users doesn't sound any better... Two other solutions would be... something like Sourceforge as zoggy also pointed, or... if you want something more professional... without redirecting to external site I mean... a cdn would also be an option... something like maxcdn.com, traffic is relatively cheap (though not as cheap as dedicated for very big amounts), it works fine from experience I had with it sometime ago, and it's very easy to setup, basically you setup a non-public known subdomain on your hosting with the downloads and then set downloads subdomain dns with a cname to point them... then they will work like a proxy cache to your non-public subdomain, there is also another way to setup it but I don't remember exactly now. There is also Torrent solution, the cheapest, and very reliable re files integrity... think someone even talked on other thread about a custom tinny downloader for it...

You can compile package and use with (or without) the plugin exactly as you did before. Guess you just need to copy the compiled package file to the right place for the plugin to find it and install it... I don't use the plugin but should be very easy, peter_sm can help you further on that as he did it...

You have a 3rd option: compile yourself If you have 4GB ram system (or more) you can use the simplified steps/scrips I did posted at: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25099.msg274366#msg274366 you will get it done yourself in about 10 min with just a few copy paste commands

Cloud provider... VM's creation, etc automation...? I didn't checked it in detail... but can't imagine it being much useful for an home storage server? we can control all in phpvirtualbox...

Basically they are saying, "go find another download server". The conclusion I take from their reply is: they don't bother or even don't really like such "pretty large files" downloaded from their shared hosting - not uncommon for cheap shared hosting... then most probably they will not do anything to sort it. And a hosting company suggesting you Dropbox is really... Why not a vps for download server? or even... wouldn't it be worth getting an unmanaged dedicated server, probably not just for downloads, but you could also host mainsite... forum... etc... there are pretty decent ones for reasonable prices nowadays. If you don't mind telling... how much traffic/month unraid downloads do?

It's an hard task to do it by hand really I would suggest when you get some free time try to look at my scripts (some changes required to compile to other kernels though...), feel free and use them or adapt to your needs, you will find things get a LOT easier

@lainie: just for curiosity I did downloaded your 3.9.11p package and looked at files on it and there is really a problem with it (not with 3.9.6p one though), it is missing the 'install/doinst.sh' script, the 'install' dir is actually there, but empty, that's the reason for jpimlott problem. Also note that you are also still missing the udev rules file (at /etc/udev/rules.d/) on your packages, as I told you before, note that vbox changed that file name on the latest versions, from 10-... to 60-..., and you may have your script still trying to copy the old file name, that doesn't exist anymore.

It's weird as your quote shows a 'cp' error after creating the package... and... I have not (and never had) any 'cp' on the script after 'makepkg'... after it there is only a 'rm' to remove tempdir and script done... then it makes no sense

Then you use similar procedures to the ones I used really. And yes, I didn't updated anything on wiki exactly for the same reason Btw, re the recent forum changes that don't allow editing our posts I did already missed it too

That error is not part of my vboxpkgc.sh script... guess you made yourself yet a 3rd script with the steps I posted? then the problem is obviously the last cp to just copy the created package to the flash... I didn't explained it ( and I can't edit my previous post anymore due to recent changes on forum ) but sure that needs to match the package file created, and the target where you want to copy it to....

Cool Now we have a mystery why lainie package do it then, but possible when he compile it based on 5.0.3 kernel it should be solved. Edit: Btw, I did also changed and re-uploaded my vboxpkgc.sh script to auto-create package filenames in the same format as lainie packages, to avoid such problems with the plugin.

WARNING: NO ONE ELSE TRY TO RUN COMMANDS AS-IS ON THIS POST AS /dev/sdc IS CURRENTLY CACHE DISK FOR peter_sm SYSTEM, NOT FOR OTHERS!!! @peter_sm: if you look at your syslog: Dec 1 09:18:02 tower emhttp: shcmd (45): mkdir /mnt/cache Dec 1 09:18:02 tower emhttp: shcmd (46): set -o pipefail ; mount -t reiserfs -o user_xattr,acl,noatime,nodiratime /dev/sdc1 /mnt/cache |& logger The two ones in bold/red are the ones you need to run to manually mount cache disk, run this having array stopped, then when you don't need it anymore, make sure nothing using it, and to unmount it run: umount /mnt/cache

Can you post your syslog? The link is ok, probably what you did set your folder to on the plugin.

Problem is that it is a .txz not .tgz and if you rename it to .tgz installpkg will not like it... plugin would need some changes to handle .txz but I can upload you a .tgz in a few minutes. Edit: Done. Download the .tgz at http://nars.aloj.net/temp/unraid/ This one haves the filename the plugin expects (I don't use the plugin that's why I wasn't aware of that restriction), though note that you may need to reboot as plugin seems to think your renamed package has been installed and in fact it wasn't, then it may just skip it now.

yes, try to rename it to the filename the plugin expects it to be but keep .txz on it else it will not install at all as you can see.

Yes, exactly that's why I also don't think it can be Realtek driver related at all, maybe related to some other kernel config changes though but not really sure. Btw, I did noticed now that steps on wiki are now also a lot updated since last time I did see them, mainly by Gfjardim, he added mainly steps to get updated headers properly linked on /usr/include, that is a question I also have for some time now, why this? any advantage over just using the old ones that glibc was compiled with, i.e. from slackware headers package (despite not matching kernel, but from my understanding some sites recommend just that - the ones glibc was compiled with), so far I use old ones and never needed to update them to compile anything, but I still have this question hammering on my head as I see some people doing that

As I said above I'm just posting the exact steps (and scripts) I use to create my own vbox packages, over the time I did made for myself a few changes/improvements on instructions (based on wiki ones) to compile vbox package, trying to get it as simple (i.e. automated) as possible, to easily compile it for every new kernel/vbox versions. mkdir /boot/dev; cd /boot/dev wget http://nars.aloj.net/temp/unraid/buildev.sh wget http://nars.aloj.net/temp/unraid/vboxpkgc.sh (the steps above are just to get my scripts to a dev folder on then flash drive... obviously only needed once... scripts should not need any changes for future kernel/vbox versions - unless something changes a lot ) cd ~ /boot/dev/buildev.sh make mkdir /tmpfs && mount -t tmpfs -o rw,size=1G tmpfs /tmpfs && export TMPDIR=/tmpfs wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.4/VirtualBox-4.3.4-91027-Linux_x86.run sh VirtualBox-4.3.4-91027-Linux_x86.run /boot/dev/vboxpkgc.sh cp vbox-4.3.4-unRAID-3.9.11p.tgz /boot/config/plugins/virtualbox (on the last line you need to adjust path where you want to copy package file to...) Please note that my procedures store all temp files, kernel source, etc on ram based filesystem, it is faster and doesn't require any permanent storage, but better don't try it (without some some changes) on a system with less than 4GB ram! @lainie: note the workaround on my vboxpkgc.sh script for the rules file I told you above, also you will notice I did some other changes on the package install script, I did just changed it to mimic exactly what is done on vbox install.sh, incl. the code to properly build usb device tree. Also you will be wondering why I do try to start all these vbox services, same reason: that's exactly what is done on vbox install.sh then I did just copied it, though actually only rc.vboxdrv will do something (load the modules), others will do nothing unless there is proper settings on vbox config files - for eg. rc.vboxweb-service will actually load vboxwebsrv if proper VBOXWEB_USER entry on config file.
