The SMART report for the drive looks OK.

 

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

 

I proceeded as described and got an "udma crc" error after removing the disk. Is it the case that such errors pop up again when removing or changing the disks' assignment and may be an old problem? The first thing I did was check the cabling. Maybe that was the initial problem and it's already been fixed.

Hi

 

A few days ago, unRAID reported that one of my parity disks had an error. As a result, it was automatically disabled.

 

Now I shut down the server, checked the cabling and ran an extended SMART test on the failed disk (sdo). No errors.

 

Now I'm not quite sure what to do next and would be happy if someone with experience could check whether there are further informationen about the issue. What caused the error?

Thank you in advance.

 

 

 

 

[Plex and Emby in parallel Operation]

I just installed Emby as read-only and that works so far.

Yes. By default I think only subtitles save to the library directories but you can disable that.

 

Thank you. Watch state is not so important to me. However, I've customised a lot of covers, because I don't like names, channel logos or FSK information on the covers. But I might just have to configure them again.

Since you are looking at options, I recommend giving jellyfin a try as well.

 

Because of the open source idea, I was also on Jellyfin, but I had some problems with it. But that was a few years ago. Maybe I'll take the opportunity and give Jellyfin another chance. Thanks.

 

[Plex and Emby in parallel Operation]

Just found this thread and it looks like there is a DB only option:

[Plex and Emby in parallel Operation]

After a few years of Plex, I play with the thought of switching back to Emby.

 

Plex is becoming more and more bloatware and I get extremely annoyed by the lack of an offline login. In addition, I simply don't use most of the features of Plex. Now I want to give Emby again a try and install it in parallel.

 

Does the test work if the library is embedded as read-only in Emby? What data does Emby write into the library folders? Does someone run both in parallel and have some tips for me?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Missing disks...]

I had several problems at once:

 

1. The power supply - I could not confirm this clearly, but it is very likely the case.
2. Empty CMOS batteire, which caused the settings in the BIOS to reset when the power was interrupted. Every time I rebuilt hardware components, I hit the power switch.
3. RAM was 2400 MHz instead of 2666 MHz - this was supported by the mainboard, but not by the CPU according to the specification. This resulted in occasionally getting an error message and not booting.

Currently the setup is running stable and I will now try to connect the GPU.

[Missing disks...]

Unfortunately no. But maybe I'll just buy one so I have a reference.

 

I really appreciate your help - thank you very much!

[Missing disks...]

It is indeed very strange. In further tests, all disks on the PCIe SATA card were not available. I then removed the SATA card and reconnected the SAS. Now suddenly all disks are online. The question is how stable this runs.

 

Do you have any ideas to investigate a possible power issue?

[Missing disks...]

It looks pretty random, so about 50:50. There are missing disks that are directly connected and also some from the PCIe card. According to the manual, a SATA port is disabled when the M.2 is in SATA mode. But I have removed the M.2 as a test. So seems to be a different issue.

[Missing disks...]

That was a good tip, thank you JorgeB.

 

I removed all the cards and the GPU and only connected the 3 (4) missing discs directly. Works. I was able to read the SMART status in BIOS.

 

Then I did the following: screwed the M.2 onto a PCIe card so that all onboard SATA slots are available (in theory). Since I had too little space, I connected another PCIe SATA card and connected the remaining disks there. That was a bit rushed. It doesn't seem to make any difference - 5 disks are now missing.

 

Somehow there seems to be a limitation on disks - no matter how I connect them (SAS or SATA card). I don't know what this limitation is and why it worked before.

 

Do you have an idea? Is this a BIOS setting or known limitation on some motherboards?

[Missing disks...]

Hi

 

I have the problem that several discs are no longer recognized and I can not find the cause. Maybe someone can interpret the logs better than I can and put me on the right track.

 

# Setup/Background

The setup as it is currently worked on my old motherboard (without GPU). I have two parity disks, as well as two caches - one pool for appdata and VMs (SSD) and a normal cache (NVMe) - and I have a SAS card in IT mode for additional SATA ports.

 

# History

I moved to a bigger case and in this context I also changed my mainboard and processor. After the move everything worked perfectly. So I decided to do another planned upgrade (step by step) and installed a Nvidia GPU. That wasn't quite so trivial, and I booted and shut down the system about 20 times in that context. It's quite possible that something broke in the process.

 

# Problems

Two of my data disks are currently missing completely. The cache pool (Vm) was also missing at first, but now one SSD is back - the second one is still missing.

 

# I have already tried this...

I changed the power and SATA cables and reconnected them. Even if I plug them directly onto the motherboard or the SAS card or removing the GPU - it makes no difference.

 

I have also thought of a power problem, but according to various online calculators, I should be fine with my 650 watt power supply.

 

Maybe someone has more ideas?

 

Your help is much appreciated.

Best,

0x3

[[Support] Linuxserver.io - SWAG - Secure Web Application Gateway (Nginx/PHP/Certbot/Fail2ban)]

Hi all,

I have unraid since two years now and I've always found solutions to my issues.

But today, I can't.

 

I got SWAG for reverse proxy with subdomain on many containers. All is fine except for plex which ran perfectly until three days ago without any sign. I can't figure out what's going wrong.

In SWAG log, I have lines like this :

*11 plex could not be resolved (3: Host not found), client: X.X.X.X, server: plex.*, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/2.0", host: "plex.mydomain.com", referrer: "https://plex.mydomain.com/"

 

When I  open console on SWAG container to lookup for names, here is the result :

 nslookup radarr
Server:         127.0.0.11
Address:        127.0.0.11:53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find radarr: No answer
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   radarr
Address: 172.18.0.10
root@XXX:/# nslookup plex
Server:         127.0.0.11
Address:        127.0.0.11:53

** server can't find plex: NXDOMAIN

** server can't find plex: NXDOMAIN

 

Container has the right name (plex). It is in network type host despite radarr is in same network as SWAG. 

 

And I did not change anything apart from updating container.

 

Any idea ?

A little late, but may help someone who has the same issues.
 

I'm not sure why the Plex behaves differently than other containers and I didn't investigate the cause further, but the following as "Extra Parameters" in the configuration solved the problem for me:
 

-p '32400:32400' -h 'plex.example.org'

Also, I had to pass the hostname as "-h" to get Plex to start. After that, Plex can be pinged from SWAG and resolves correctly.

[[Support] Djoss - Nginx Proxy Manager]

Finally I created an Ubuntu VM, installed and set up NGINX and Certbot with DNS plugin. Despite overhead, this was a much easier solution for me, since I don't know much about Docker and don't have to make many configuration changes to NGINX.

 

Thanks anyway. Keep up the good work, Jamie.

This can work.  However, when certs are updated, you will probably have to manually restart Nginx Proxy Manager...

Thanks for your reply.

 

A "service nginx reload" (or similar) once a day should solve this. Or do you mean to load the certificates into a drop-down?

 

Has anyone created a certificate in NPM and could show me what the folder structure inside the /letsencrypt folder looks like? How are the certificates stored there? Since my server is not public, I cannot do this myself.

 

I want to see what happens when I mount the folder in certbot-docker and put the certificates there.

[[Support] Djoss - Nginx Proxy Manager]

Hi Jamie

 

Thanks for the great plugin!

 

I have seen that a possible integration of the DNS plugins has already been discussed on Github and there are some technical hurdles to overcome.

 

Would it change anything if you installed existing containers (e.g. certbot/dns-dnsimple) as a separate plugin? Then store the certificates in a volume accessible by Nginx Manager and assign the certificates manually to the host (drop-down)?
