Interestingly I got my server back online. What I did was bypass the Switch and plugged directly into the MB ethernet port from my old ISP router/modem. So my new question is what the proper procedure to switch out the old router/modem?

So we recently got a new ISP. My current setup was I had a Cat 6 (C61) cable running from my downstairs Modem/router into a switch upstairs in my office. From here I had regular cat5 (C51) cable connected to the MB ethernet port. Then I had a NIC connected into the PCI-E slot running another cat6 (C62) cable between my server and my computer. When I got the new ISP hooked up I switched the C61 to the new router. When I went to connect to my server I could not find it. After doing some googling I found it had to do with having a static IP set under my previous ISP. I switched the cables back and was able to get back onto my server. I went into network settings and turn off static IP. When this was running the GUI froze. Now when I try to boot up the server I am not getting anything at all. The server will not load in. I've tried the Gui, safemode and gui safemode. I've updated my BIOS. But still nothing seems to be working. Not sure what next steps are. If you can help please let me know. I wasn't able to capture a Log unfortunately. I do have a video of the start procedure so you can see what I am seeing. https://imgur.com/a/0g5HrGU

Jake did you every figure this out? Wanting to do the same thing.

Hello, for awhile now I have been having an issue where my ASUS XG-C100C 10GBase-T PCIe Network Adapter keeps going down. The way my system is setup, main network is plugged into a switch, from switch its plugged into the Mobo ethernet port then the Nic is connected to my 10GBase-T dock, then to my regular computer. Oddly though every so often, sometimes a few days, the Unraid GUI shows the 10GBase-T eth-0 interface is down. The only way I can get it back up is by rebooting the server from the GUI. Does anyone have any inclination on what is causing this. Sounds almost like the nic is going idle and not coming back up. Does anyone have any idea on this? Let me know if you need any other info and I will provide it. syslog.txt

So I have noticed recently that if I try to type in my server name in the browser the server will no longer pull up. I have to enter in the static IP address in order for the server to pull up. When I check my network drives out I can see the server and everything pulls up that way. Any ideas what would cause this? I am running mac os x 11.1, unraid 6.8.3

Just following up on this. My response is above

Hello so they were copied from my MBP running OS X Catalina 10.15.7 currently. The protocol I setup this share with is SMB.

Here is my screen recording showing my issue. There is audio https://www.loom.com/share/c706c2e7a9134f7ba9d4ec474e4829f9?from_recorder=1

Hello I just started noticing that only recent folders I have added to my user share is propagating data within the finder window on OS X Catalina (10.15.7). But when I go into the Unraid GUI and look at the actual user share I can see all the data is there and am able to download it. What would cause this issue? Attached are screenshots of this share's setup and my recent log file. paphoto-diagnostics-20201022-0923.zip

Not sure when this error started but I am not longer able to perform a Time Machine backup to unraid. This is the error that I am seeing in the Time Machine window. "Two of the disks to back up have the same name. Rename one of the disks named 'Macintosh HD'." When doing my research I am seeing that the two disks that Catalina created are in fact necessary so its not like I can delete one and see if that fixes the issue. Has anyone run into this error and been able to resolve it. Today I deleted my current time machine share and started a fresh one following SpaceinvaderOne's youtube video and I still got the same error. Mac OSX - 10.15.6 Unraid - 6.8.3

Its a user share and always has been a user share.

It’s just started happening. Half the folders in the share show data in them in finder

Hello I am seeing a weird issue where when I navigate to the Share via finder on my Mac a large chunk of files are empty. But when I go directly into the Unraid dashboard then to the share I can actually see the files. Why wouldn't they be showing up on in finder?

I’ll look into how to check that and report back

I am noticing that whenever I transfer over larger files 25GB+ there seems to be some throttling of the connection. When it initially starts out I am seeing 1Gbps+ in transfer speeds but after a few mins it will drop down to 30ish Mbps. This will stay like that for a little while then it will climb back up. My setup is as such: Asus XG-C100C on the M/B cat6e cable plugged into a thunderbolt 3 dock that supports 10Gbase-T. My MacBook is connected via Thunderbolt 3 cable. The files are being moved from MBP internal SSD to NVME cache on my server. I have the MTU's set at 9000. I attached the syslog but let me know if you need to see something else. syslog.txt

I just swapped Sata data cables and its still not showing up. I didn't change the power cable but that drive is the first in the line so it should be getting power since the others are getting power

Now my server is not showing up by its name, I can only access it via the IP address. This is so strange.

After reboot disk is still not showing. Here is new diags. paphoto-diagnostics-20200519-1512.zip

Hello last night I was checking unraid and noticed that Disk 4 was not showing a temperature reading. Just now I remembered this and checked it again and noticed that the main section showed Disk 4 as not installed. My initial thought was to stop the array and restart it. Mistake I know. I should have grabbed the smart log. But when I started the array Disk 4 is completely gone now. Any idea what I am looking at here? The drive was active in the array but did not have anything moved on it. Attached is the diagnostic log. paphoto-diagnostics-20200519-1441.zip

I just got finished installing two 1tb m.2 drives to use as a cache pool. My MB can handle another 2 2.5” SSD’s I was thinking of adding two more 1tb ssd’s to use in the pool as a backup. Is this doable? I want to keep the performance of the m.2 for writing my data to, would raid10 accomplish this? Or would the performance be limited to the slowest drives (the ssd’s)?

Does anyone have a mead in a 6 pin pcie to 8 way 15 pin Sata power connector? I’d like to connect my pool (8 drives) in one of the available 3 PSU slots. The other is connected to the chassis fan. The other slot I’d like to connect up two additional SSDs to add to the cache. My PSU has 3 6 pin and 2 8 pin. Is there a better way of connecting these up?

I am also having the issue of shares not showing up. I am using Catalina 10.15.4. Using the finder reconnect works to get them to show up. I am wondering if my issue though is that I was in the middle of a file transfer when I was having the issue.

I should mention I’m only going to be editing photos not video. I just checked I can get a dongle for my mbp to give it 10gb Ethernet but those are incredible expensive right now

In regards to the NIC. If I plug the NAS direct to the modem and plug my MacBook direct to the modem as well would I still need the NIC and switch? Also do you think I need a GPU? I have been reading a lot that says yes and no on the needs of them.

This is my first NAS setup and here is what I am thinking for my build: Case - Antec P101 silent MB - ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 PSU - Corsair CX Series 650 Watt 80 HDD - 8x 4tb WD Red NAS (wanted to shuck them but everything I am reading seems like a crap shoot on if you get the a non SMR drive or not) RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x - 8GB DDR4 3200 mhz) This is is. Am I missing anything? I am wanting to use the NAS for data storage of my raw photos and finished images. And if need be I'd like to be able to edit off the system if needed (both photos and video possibly). I also want the system to be expandable in the future. Hopefully I'll be able to put in larger drives as they get cheaper.
