  1. Hello all,

     

    Last night a disk was disabled for read and write errors.  Perhaps coincidentally (or not) i had a parity check running leading up to the failure, but the check did complete while correcting 1 error (Sep 13 23:36:40).  A few hours later (Sep 14 02:17:26) disk15 started throwing read/write errors and was disabled.

     

    I looked through the SMART report for it and didn't see anything obviously wrong, but I'm not extremely familiar with reading SMART reports.  It is an old-ish disk.

     

    But this is also a relatively new case to me (used Supermicro CSE-847BE1C-R1K28LPB) so i'm wondering if something could be wrong with that instead.  It has hot-swap bays and very little actual cabling.  If the disk seems fine otherwise i will double check all the connections and re-seat the disk in its slot.

     

    Thank you for any input!

    update 9/28:

    I did update the LSI firmware on 9/14, but the issue just happened again.  Luckily I have a spare disk of the same capacity, so I'm just going to swap that in and see if it's more stable.

     

    update 4 months later:

    everything has been good since i put in a spare disk, so it seems like it was just a bad disk.

  2. I had a similar issue and it took some time with reboots and shuffling the flash drive around, but finally it booted.

     

    Is your BIOS set to UEFI boot?  Mine is, I think I need to change it to legacy.

  3. Hello all,

     

    This weekend i decided to try moving my downloads directory from the default dedicated Downloads share to a directory within the Media share (with Cache set to "Yes").  I wanted to make use of hardlinks when moving media around rather than full copies, but I was also hoping to keep downloads on the cache instead of waking up the disks.

     

    Unfortunately, it seems for some reason Unraid is not properly utilizing the cache - for example, when I start downloads in sabnzbd, it immediately crates directories on the array disks (see screenshot).  I have tried deleting the stray directories on the disks a few times, making sure only "cache" is shown for the location of my downloads folder, but every time i retry a download new directories on the disks are made.

     

    Cache space is not a problem, the cache is 2TB and only 51% full.  Also mover is not involved, it is not scheduled to run until 1am, and like i said these directories on the disks are created immediately when downloads are started.  sabnzbd has no say in where in the array/cache the directories are created, right?  I thought it was all up to Unraid and its filsystem to properly direct new data to the cache instead of the disks.

     

    The only volume mapping (besides config) i have in sabnzbd is:

    /data/Downloads/ <---> /mnt/user/Media/Downloads/

     

    I guess I could try changing it to this instead to force using only the cache:

    /data/Downloads/ <---> /mnt/cache/Media/Downloads/

     

    but I didn't think it would work with the hardlinks.

     

     

    Anyway, thanks for any help!

  4. Hello,

     

    I have two pools (Temp and Perm) which have disappeared from the Main page, although they seem to be functioning fine and show on the Dashboard as healthy.

     

    I did find this previous thread and checked /boot/config/pools but i have no extra pool cfg's in there.  Is there any other reason this may happen?

     

    Thanks for any help!

  5. Hello all,

     

    I'm currently in a dead end IT job (datacenter related) and am looking into adjacent career paths to jump into.  Considering cloud stuff like AWS and Azure, but after working with and enjoying unraid for a while, I figured I'd ask here to see what careers could be similar to managing an unraid server.  I realize unraid itself is probably not used much professionally.

     

    Thanks for any tips!

  6. Hello, hoping someone can help me with this.  I've tried the config option via environment variables, but for some reason the daemon fails to start.  I guess because it's still loking for the config file even though all variables were passed already?

     

    command with variables:

    /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='NoIp' --net='bridge' -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'USERNAME'='acosmichippo' -e 'PASSWORD'='_______' -e 'DOMAINS'='ddns.net' -e 'INTERVAL'='60m' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/NoIp':'/config':'rw' 'coppit/no-ip'

     

    log:

    All required settings passed as environment variables. Skipping config file creation.

  7. Hi all, I have a small suggestion.  I just noticed that my backups have not been running for a while, and after some investigating, i realized that when i changed the name of my appdata cache around the 6.9.0 upgrade, I forgot to update the "appdata share (source)" file path in the backu plugin.  Apparently the plugin doesn't notice a wrong/missing share path as an error state, so the backups were "completing" successfully even though it was never actually doing any backups.

     

    So my suggestion would be to add a new error state for a "missing" appdata share.  This way people who use the "errors only" notification setting will see if they have a typo or outdated file path in the "appdata share (source)" setting.

     

    Thanks for reading and thanks for making this plugin!

    Added Test mode.  - Will run the find command outputting all the files that would have been sent to mover to the syslog if logging enabled. (Lets you see if your filter choices are correct.)

     

    This sounds great, but where does it show the output of the find command?

  9. did a full power cycle and now things seem to be normalish.  parity check running.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

    But if someone can spot any clues in the diag files about what happened that would be awesome.  maybe it's time to replace the guts.

     

    Looks like it all started around 7:11am this morning:

     

    May 15 07:11:36 unraid kernel: usb 3-3: USB disconnect, device number 2

     

  10. Hello all,

     

    Overnight something happened with my key file and now unraid is telling me it's missing or corrupt.  I've tried re-installing the original key file via the URL in the original purchase email, but it errors out.

     

    Normally I'd try rebooting, but dockers seem to be working OK now, and I'm afraid unraid won't boot up again without a valid key file.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, diags attached.  Thank you!

    cache-dirs will never be a real proper caching. Its a hack, where we try to poke linux to cache dirs. Maybe that's what you encounter. You can try to enable logging. You can find some info in this thread somewhere on the logging I believe, also see /var/log/cachedirs or something. It says when it scans everthing again, which on my system happens daily and esp. during large operations like parity check which puts load on the system.

     

    Or it could be it just works really bad for you for unknown reasons.

    What you tried with cache-pressure is also my experience, and for safety I use 1, but also tried 0 shortly.

     

     

     

    I took another approach with this and tried moving the files via unraid's CLI and they seem to be moving consistently without waking up the array.  I guess there is something in MacOS's finder that is waking up the array when I use it to move cached files around.  Keeping .DS_Store files on the cache did not solve the issue like I hoped it would (although maybe it helps a little, not sure).

     

    So for now I have just set up an hourly user script to move files between cached directories.

    I think mtime is still the "time" type we should be searching on.

     

    From google:

    Unix keeps 3 timestamps for each file: mtime, ctime, and atime. Most people seem to understand atime (access time), it is when the file was last read. There does seem to be some confusion between mtime and ctime though. ctime is the inode change time while mtime is the file modification time.

     

    Maybe it could be an option in the settings....

     

     

    An option would be great if you can get around to it!  I neglected to mention all those files were "new" to me within the last 10 days, but the mtime was ~60 days ago.  So from my point of view it was just not accurate and mover moved them the very first opportunity despite my "age" setting at 10 days.

    If you can give me an example in a find command, I can incorporate it.

     

    Like this?  For these files, the "atime" and "ctime" are both less than 10 days, but the "mtime" is greater than 10 days.  If "atime" cannot be used, can "ctime"?

  14. I have a question - For "Move files off cache based on age?" setting, it seems like the plugin checks the "Last Modified" date which corresponds to when the file was first created, even if that's before you downloaded it.  So if you download something older than your "days old" setting, it gets moved to the array on the very next Mover run.

     

    Would it be possible to reference either the "Date Changed" or "Date Accessed" dates instead?  Seems like either of those are more representative of when the files are actually acquired on the cache.  At least in my use case.

     

    Thank you!
