Ah. I see. That did the trick! Had DHCP assignment burned into my mind as the only viable way to get an IP. 😅 Thank you!

@bonienl Raising this one from the dead. What if this machine is running pfSense in a VM. (it's normat that it does not have an IP at startup) any elegant solution for such cases if running a script to create br0 is not advisable?

I think that's the insecure guest logons which I've enabled. Had to get down and dirty with this so I've installed Wireshark to check SMB over TCP 445. Oddities ensue. Looks like when I try to access with hostname ("Overlord") SYN packets are sent and retransmitted towards the pfSense router. These are ignored as it does not run SMB service. Now I just have to figure out why this hostname points to the wrong IP address. LE: Seems there was a stale DNS entry in my Windows PC. This was obvious after I pinged by hostname and returned the router gateway IP. This is from some old host override that I've added and since then removed from DNS Resolver. ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew netsh winsock reset Checked with ping. Checked with explorer access. Back on track. Can bust open a beer now. LLE: @Frank1940 This begs the question: Why did a DNS Host override end up affecting SMB/NetBIOS? Don't know about you but this grinds my gears. Maybe you know something that I don't.

Check. Check. Tried this as well. No changes though. Since I can't find any other culprit I'm blaming this new Windows build. This Pro N variant should only lack some media player stuff (googled). Getting late on my end but I'm going to go back to that 'mega-thread' tomorrow and try each one of those items from the list.

Heya! Had a working SMB set-up up until I've re-installed Windows on my main PC. Now I'm unable to connect to my unraid server via the (windows discovered) network location listed under Network (in explorer). I'm getting the dreaded Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found. Been bashing my head against it, checked and tried most of the posts revolving this (enable SMB 1.0, lanmanworkstation enable insecure guest logons) Funny thing is that I'm able to access it like so: \\<unraid_server_ip>\ Not sure how SMB resolves host names but I'm pretty sure DHCP ain't it.

Hey guys. Advanced stupid question here so be warned. Following spaceinvader one's great tutorial I have set-up a functioning pfSense in a VM. Taking things further I've dabbled with HaProxy and acme to expose and secure some of my services but also to encrypt my internal connections. Got a backend for Unraid that's only used by a frontend accepting LAN connections. To do this I've had to manually bundle and export them to Unraid's \config\ssl\certs. Looking to leverage ACME's cron renewals and ability to run scripts so that I may automate this but with little progress. Hoping someone with more experience managed to knock this off.

This is gold! After about a day of frustrated debug and attempts this solved it for me. Thanks!

Hi again, Thank you for the very detailed reply! I don't have any plan to set up redundancy for the cache (for now at least). I will be backing up my HA as I was so pleased by the performance after I've ported it to UnRaid docker that I went all out and completely removed my RPi(questionable) Currently in process of building the parity drive and pre clearing my other drives. Secondary question here: Not sure if I should go through with the process of building the parity. Will it get invalidated by a New Config and have to start all over again? LE: Marking as solved. Thanks for the support! Parity was indeed invalidated by a new config but nothing a few hours could not rebuild.

Hey thanks for the quick reply! Yes that is also part of the endgoal. That's exactly what I want. SSD is using default xfs. I'd appreciate that very much ❤️

I've seen some other forum topic with a similar title but I don't think it applies to my case. First of I'm very new to UnRaid so please be gentle :D After I've partly built my system I was keen on trying UnRaid and at the time I only had an SSD available(for which I had planned to use as a cache drive) so I've started the array like that and quickly found myself bathing in dockers(succesfully ported HA from my RPI3). Now that my HDDs have arrived I want to safely move all of the data(appdata,system,etc.) from the SSD to one of them so I can repurpose the SSD as cache. How should I go about this?
