    Preclear docker busted my Server

    in General Support

    Posted

    Yes, there are 2 drives in the build.

    • drive 1:  7JW ( the correct drive to be mounted as disk 1)
    • drive 2: V3N ( new drive added, that was not mounted previously in the arry nor used)

    The issue was finally resolved by selecting 7JW as disk2 in the array. Start the array -> Stop the array -> selecting it as disk 1 ( this time it worked) back again -> Start the array.

    So far everything seems to be working normally, hope that I didn't damaged anaything by doing the above workaround.

     

    V3N was installed yesterday in the build to be used as a parity disk but it's formated in NTFS and it has some WD programs on it so i wanted to install the preclear app to clean it and stress test it. After installing the preclear docker all of this happened. Not sure how to proceed next since I still need to use the disk as parity but don't want to install the preclear app and thorugh all this again.

    Hi,

     

     

     

    I have just installed the Binhex Prelear docker and right aftre the install my GUI looks like this (see attached snapshot) when I access it from the browser.

    I have unstiall the docker, rebooted several times but the UI still looks like innthe snapshot. Is there any way to repair this problem or do I need to reinstall unraid on my usb drive?

    CPU for new unRaid build

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by yahooo

    Hi guys,

     

     

    I plan on building a nas server using unRaid and I need some advice on the hardware side. Currently i have an I5 6400 cpu and a GTX1050 graphics card. The server will be used mainly for Plex (4k transcoding will be needed) and running some VM's off of it, no gaming or any stuff like that. I mostly will be using the VMs for linux server and mac  OS - web development stuff no photo or video processing .

    The problem that I'm facing is related to the cpu, it has only 4 cores with only 4 threads so if I need to run some dockers for plex or deluge and a VM in the same time it's basically running out of resources.

    Now i'm faced with a dilema rgarding what to do:

     

    1. Buy a Ryzen 5 2600 (6 cores 12 therads) and a new mb with it, this will set me back about 200$ - transcoding will be needed but I hope to get the GTX1050 to do that

    2.Buy a used Xeon processor but the trouble is that I'm not able to find a decent mb for it (only chinese knockoffs) at a reseonable price 

     

    The main problem that I have is relating transcoding and VM.  If I can't get the GTX1050 to do transcoding will I be able to use plex for streaming with the Ryzen?

    Also another question is relating to VM, if I go with the Ryzen cpu will I be able to run a mac OS VM using macinabox? by default mac OS does not support Ryzen  so a lot of thinkering needs to be done.

     

    Just to mention, this is my first unraid build. I'm only testing out unraid for a few days now using the the i5 so i'm not very familiar with the challanges and issue that go along with any of the variants that I have.  Some advice on this is much appreciated.
