  1. With the recent BTFRS vs XFS cache issues, it has me rethinking my cache pool setup and I'd like to ask what my best options are So I have an HP enterprise server with bay loaded with 8 SFF 200GB enterprise SSDs, and 1 consumer Samsung 1 TB SATA SSD. Currently I have the 8 small SSDs in a cache pool, and the 1 large as an unassigned disk. My main array is made out of spinning disks. The cache pool has seen an unusual amount of writes as I've moved to a more docker heavy system, rather than full server VMs. Also, having 8 small disks in the cache pool is pretty underwhelming with Raid 1. Options: 1 .Set the small SSDs into a RAID 5 array in my storage controller, and present that to Unraid as 1 volume and convert to XFS. Continue using the unassigned disk for VMs 2. Convert the large disk to XFS, and make it the cache, and either have 8 unassigned SSDs or RAID them with storage controller as an unassigned disk 3. Convert the large disk to XFS and just not use the enterprise SSDs until the bug is fixed 4. Do a bunch of scripting to move docker files/directories around onto my unassigned disk, or move one of the 200GB SSDs to unassigned to be a sacrificial disk for Docker
  2. You will need an external SAS card to connect to the StoreServ, and chances are it won't work with your existing drives as it uses SAS instead of SATA. Depending on how your DL360P is setup, you may be able to add LFF bays, or just purchase an external JBOD array. If the StoreServ already has drives in it, and you can purchase it with the correct card you should be able to present the drives directly to Unraid, but it will require research and tinkering.
  3. So I may have inadvertently fixed this! I realized after typing this out that I'd done most of the testing on macOS with the HTML5 and Java consoel. After trying the .net version again on a Windows machine with different browsers I was able to finally get it working with Edge, and accepting key presses again. After switching back to Chrome and HTML5, it continued working.
  4. My Unraid installation will no longer take key presses from the HPE iLO 4 remote console. This inclues HTML5, .net and Java version on different Windows 10 and macOS laptops. Either typing or sending a keypress through the iLO console menu have no effect. I haven't been using the unraid GUI, just the standard boot and using CLI . The server itself is in a location that isn't easily accessible, I don't currently have the ability to plug in a physical monitor and mouse, and have been heavily relying on the iLO console. An unraid, iLO and full server reboot have had no effect. Previous operating systems on this hardware (esxi, windows server) haven't had this issue before. As my unraid installation keeps reverting to a 169.x address, I have to keep deleting my networking configs between reboots to restore network settings, and without iLO it's extremely difficult to get back into the web unraid console.
