Hoping you guys can help me with a problem I'm having. We had a power outage at our house a couple of days ago. Ever since then, my pihole isn't working correctly. If I restart it, it will work for a little awhile, and then we lose internet. Checking the logs this is what shows up. text error warn system array login tail: /var/log/pihole/FTL.log: file truncated 2025-11-19 19:15:20.476 UTC [57M] INFO: Reading certificate from /etc/pihole/tls.pem ... 2025-11-19 19:15:20.476 UTC [57M] INFO: Using SSL/TLS certificate file /etc/pihole/tls.pem 2025-11-19 19:15:20.476 UTC [57M] INFO: Web server ports: 2025-11-19 19:15:20.476 UTC [57M] INFO: -

Nothing changed. All that happened was our server was powered off for a couple of hours. Everything else is working perfectly.

Update: Replacing my cache drive fixed the issue. Also I went from a SATA ssd to a nvme 3.0 drive. I'm not sure if it was the switch from sata to nvme, or if my old cache drive has been failing for awhile, but my unraid system is performing much better now. My VM is snappier and more responsive. Also before the update I was having issues when I would use sonarr or radarr to download new movies or shows in 4k. It would bring my system to it's knees and take forever when importing into Plex. Doesn't do that anymore.

ok. I will get one ordered. Thank you.

Even though it says zero errors on the main screen and the self test passes?

hahler-diagnostics-20250722-1616.zip

I keep getting these messages pop up on my server for the cache drive. It says "Unraid Cache Disk Smart Health 187. Warning - reported uncorrect is 28" And the number keeps going up. I ran a parity check. Everything is good. I went into the cache drive self test and it is reporting 0 SMART errors. Why am I getting this message? Is my drive dying?

I mean, I could do that. But I really don't want to. Support for Windows 10 will be going away soon so I would prefer to do a Windows 11 VM. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? I updated to latest version of Unraid and it's still doing it.

I'm trying to setup a new Windows 11 VM, but the installation keeps failing. When I get to the install point where setup needs to reboot the system hangs. If I check the logs I get this error: qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring I do a force shutdown and then restart to complete installation and it won't restart. Gives me some kind of error about the windows installation failed.

Fixed. I rolled back to a database from a week ago. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Ok so I show multiple errors. And yes some of them say database corruption. Look like this Aug 05, 2023 04:38:07.995 [23069527477048] ERROR - SQLITE3:0x80000001, 11, database corruption at line 59420 of [a29f994989]

Having issues with my Plex server all of a sudden. I left for vacation 2 days ago and everything was working fine. Even streamed a couple of shows and it worked perfectly. I come home and fire up the tv and go to start a TV Show and get the error "couldn't retrieve the play queue for this item. Please try again." It only does this on TV Shows. My Movies folder is working just fine. Running latest version of the docker container and latest version of Unraid. Literally nothing has changed, it just stopped working. I tried rolling back to older versions of the docker and I tried rebooting the server. Still nothing. In the logs I show a libusb_init failed under critical warnings. That's the only error I'm seeing.

I did just update. I will check that out. I tried entering the port number manually and that didn’t work either. Thanks

I encountered an odd problem today. I went to pull up the WebUI for Sonarr today to add a new show I want it to download, and there's no option to click for WebUI. Just console. Rebooted the docker image and I restarted my server and no change. Anyone know how to fix this?

I may have fixed it. I found the directions for fixing a corrupt database. Everything is updating now. Will see if that fixes the errors and lets new movies download properly.

So recently I've noticed that radarr is not importing downloaded movies properly. It will send the request to qbittorent and download them, but then it's not importing them once the download is complete. Sonarr is working perfectly. I noticed there are some errors in my logs, but not sure how to fix them. text error warn system array login [v4.3.2.6857] code = Corrupt (11), message = System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException

Thanks!

What should the settings be? If I enable the setting to remove the torrent after the seeding ratio hits 1.0 then I get error messages in sonarr.

It is correctly moving them to my Media folder. But it's not removing the torrent after the seed time expires.

Running latest version of qbittorent. Having an issue where it's not removing my completed downloads. How do I fix this? Wondering if there's maybe a setting that get messed up in the upgrade to 4.5?

Can someone help me figure out why I can't log in to Qbittorrent from Firefox? Works just fine on Chrome or Edge so I assume it has to be a Firefox problem but I'm not sure. I get to the login screen and enter my password and username and then it just reloads the login screen.

Having a strange issue. Suddenly I am unable to download anything. The requests are getting sent from Sonarr and are downloading, but Sonarr is unable to import anything. Sonarr is telling me the "path does not exist or unable to access" I can't login to qbittorent either. When I click on login after entering my username and password it just reloads the login screen. This is after updating to Unraid 6.11. I rolled back to 6.10.3 and still getting the same issue. *edit* Was able to fix downloading issue. For same reason, it changed the folder preferences inside of qbittorent. I am still unable to log in to qbittorent though from Firefox. Just keeps reloading the login page. I have to use Chrome or Edge to log in.

No I never got the answer to that. And honestly, due to lack of time, I've never tried to do it. Maybe some day I'll experiment with it.

Been running Unraid for awhile now using a 10600k and using the iGPU for plex transcodes. However, I would like to add a Nvidia card for doing tdarr transcodes and let it handle the Plex transcodes and then pass the iGPU on to a VM for quicksync stuff. Is this possible to do and fairly easy to accomplish? Just want to make sure everything will work the way I want it to before I pull the trigger on the GPU.

Question on hardware transcodes. I'm running a 10600k in my server. Running 6.9.2. I have been using the iGPU for doing hardware transcodes for quite awhile now with no issues. Today I noticed that while Plex was running and doing a transcode, it says that it's doing a HW transcode, and I can see the activity on my iGPU on my dashboard, but the CPU is also showing 60 percent usage. Before, it would barely have any cpu usage at all. Just wondering what has changed and how to fix this?

Ok thank you!
