Thank you guys, yup the drive went red after a day or two, I guess I never caught this in action before, only after they went bad.

Hi, I have a parity drive that has very bad smart values but unraid still shows as green. I had a few drives failed before and normally they either go orange (emulated) or red (offline), why is this SDJ still green? Since I have 2 parity drives I'm tempted to just keep it running to see what will trigger the fail state but I have a spare on its way already. Thanks, Tony tony-tower-diagnostics-20220107-0954.zip

raid1c3 would be great for production use as VM disk

Noted and thanks!

Sorry, I was in a hurry to get my dockers back up and running so I rebooted and that have fixed the issue. Curiously it is saying 490GB instead of the expected 480GB though. Thanks anyway johnnie!

Hi all, I recently removed 2x 250GB SSD cache drives and replaced them with a single 500GB SSD (the 480GB one was already there). I followed the replace a cache drive instructions and now I'm at step 10, but before going to step 11 (re-setting my cache settings to perfer) I saw that the size of cache pool I have is 610GB, instead of 480GB that I expected. Is this normal or should I be worried? Thanks, Tony tony-tower-diagnostics-20200614-0005.zip

Thanks! I didn't think that far, I really thought the heat produced by WD Reds would be similar to Ironwolfs, guess I didn't research that well. I'll go buy some 140mm fans since 120mm isn't providing enough air flow

I take it this is a no then? I guess I have to go buy some fans as I tried leaving them spun up yesterday and one of the WD drives peaked at 52C

I'll clarify my use case a little and see if that makes any difference. Normally 1 project is being worked on at a time, so only drive #1 is being read from for lets say for the whole week, while disk #2-#6 are not in used at all. When the project is finished, a new project is ingested usually on another drive because of how I set up the allocation method and split level (ie. most free + split top level) lets say drive #2 so drive #1 and #3-#6 are not read from for another week. I just wanted to know if the drive spin down time value can be change to more than 9 hours if the answer is no then I'll stop asking.

I could set the warning temperature to 50C and call it a day I suppose, I just want to try something before accepting that my drive life time might be a little shorter.

Hi everyone! After I installed a few more 4TB WD Reds inside my case (there were already a few Ironwolfs) I receive warnings about a couple of the WD Reds getting hot (over 45C) which I know is acceptable as long as it is under 50C but I wanted to try spinning down disks that are not used often to keep the overall tempertaure low. For my usecase I need the drives that are used daily spun up so the access time is close to instant as possible, so I want to set my spin down time delay to more than 12 hours to account for sleep where no data will be accessed however the maximum in the drop down menu is 9 hours which is not enough for some days. Is it possible to change this config to 12 hours or even 24 hours somewhere in the OS using CLI or other means? Thanks in advance! Tony

I found a solution for my needs! I use this mount code to "combine" all the folders for a username and use /mnt/virtual/ as Host Path for /srv/ in the container. mount --bind /mnt/user/actual/path /mnt/virtual/username/path Of course you have to mount/start FileBrowser and stop FileBrowser/umount every time the array is start/stop or the folders might not show up in FileBrowser.

+1 but it should be done right. There are a few use case to this issue: 1. The local transfer case (local <-> local), this is covered by Krusader/Cloud Commander since the likely user in this case is the "admin" so it doesn't have to be pretty. For me this is not a big deal, I am happy with the current offering. 2. Remote transfer case (local <-> internet), this is partly covered by File Browser which has user built-in except it doesn't use unraid's user share permission, you need to create your own data path for each user (and you can only set a single root path for each user so you can't have multiple share folders for each user). For me this is what is missing from Unraid that other NASes have, the ability to access via Web GUI with correct user share permissions. This is very useful when you want to download a file from outside your network since you don't need to install any software or set up a vpn, and will please those other users who like pretty interface. The second issue has another side benefit, in order to do this Unraid will need to support multiple user to Web GUI with limited access!

Great docker! I have a little question regarding multiple paths for a user, I want each user to be able to access a shared folder and a private folder. I see 2 possible way of doing it, first the scope way, is it possible to have multiple scopes? I tried comma and semicolon separated but they don't work. Second way is from the rules section, but I can't figure out how to use it. I tried "allow" and put path with and without "/" and nothing seems to be happenning (nothing is filtered out). Can anyone point me in the right direction please!
