Would you mind sharing what you mean by "failed miserably"? If it worked with v5 it should also work with v6! Unfortunately i don't have log files but it would keep resetting the link to the drive and it managed to corrupt the file system on a couple of drives.

Latest bios is 2507, you can download it from the adaptec website and flash it. http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/downloads/bios_fw/bios_fw_ver/productid=aar-1430sa&dn=adaptec+serial+ata+ii+raid+1430sa.html Thanks. I hope it works better then the two Marvell 88SE92xx cards I have. Even though one is listed as compatible in the wiki it failed miserably after upgrading to unRaid 6.1.3 (SYBA SI-PEX40064).

I recommend the adaptec 1430SA, relatively cheap on ebay and works very well with Unraid, just make sure it’s using latest firmware for > 2tb support. I'm thinking about buying this card. Can you tell me what the "latest" firmware is so I can confirm with a potential seller? Also, is the firmware flashable (ie, can I update it myself)?

I would think the kernel people have patched it in by now. Is your card not working correctly without it? Then try the script and see if it makes a difference. Can we get a confirmation that this is now in the kernel?

This is definitely going to sound like a noob question but so be it. I've just upgraded my server from 5.x to 6.x and am having issues with my drives red balling. I'm also getting reiserfs errors. I'm concerned that it is my SATA controllers and I'm prepared to leave the system offline while I research & purchase a new controller. Current config: mobo is from a Dell inspiron 530s processor: core2due e4500 @2.20GHz BIOS: Phoenix-AwardBIOS v 1.0.3 07/12/2007 My first four drives are on the mobo first SATA card rocketraid 622sd 1126M64114173 rocket 62X RocketRAID 62X/62XM si-pex40064 second SATA card syba SD-PEX40054 The motherboard has two PCIe slots. One is x1 & x16 but I believe both are 2nd gen The rocketRAID controller has no BIOS support to drop it into JBOD mode so I use a script documented here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19882.msg176751#msg176751 On top of the errors I'm also seeing parity check speeds of about 10mb. Here's the question: Am I right in assuming that an x16 card will give me faster speeds? And, can anyone suggest a card that won't cost more then I've spent on the rest of the very old hardware?

Really? If that's the case how do you ever replace a drive? Don't you always have to format a new drive when you put it into the array?

nope. I've had no success at all. I'm trying to run the reiserfsck utility right now.

I agree. It's unclear to me how I got here. Nothing I did should have caused this issue but... At this stage the drive has been completely wiped by the preclear. I just want to get it back into the array and hopefully rebuild the data from the parity which should still be OK from the 5.x build. I've attached the results from running Tools/Diagnostics. rs-diagnostics-20151031-0758.zip

So I appear to be in a pickle. I was in the middle of upgrading from 5.x to 6.x. I was following the instructions here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrading_to_UnRAID_v6 I ran step 2.2 and my server booted into 6.1.3 and started a parity check. I screwed up and moved on to run the new permissions while the parity check was running. Part way through it got into a loop on one fold and I had to terminate the new permissions. At this point one of my drives dropped out of the array and listed as unmountable. *** Since then I reran a complete preclear on the drive hoping I could add it back and rebuild the data. The preclear ran without errors but now I can't do anything. **** If I try to format the drive the GUI does nothing for a couple of seconds and then reloads but nothing happens. If I try to rebuild the data nothing happens. I've attached a screen shot. *** I'm guessing that my next step is to do a "new config" and loss the ability to rebuild the data. Anyone have any other suggestions?

We interrupt this fine program with a message from your sponsors! All right all right all right. I bit the bullet and did the upgrade. happy now?

I have a problem with the gui interface to the plugins. I'm running unRaid 5.0.6. From the setting tab if I select any of the pluggins I get a page that has the limetech menus & a single grey box with the icon of the plugin. I have to click that box to get to the page for the plugin. However the really problem is what happens next. After clicking, say SABnzbd, its page loads but with a cube of blue boxes that rotate (indicating a "wait" function??). At this point nothing happens. None of the buttons on the page load. This means that while updating a plugin I can't START it.

hate to bump such an old thread but does this script work on the series 5.x or 6.x unRaid? I'm having issues with the gui in 5.x and would like some basic control from telnet. Thanks.

truly strange. I just installed this a couple of days ago because I wanted to get SB & SAB off of my win7 box. Could I have different versions than you have? Could I have multiple versions of python?

Does this kind of edit make it less secure? My understanding is that python ssl was updated on the latest version for security reasons for the last major vulnerability and sites that haven't updated are the reason you see the errors in the log files. Is that incorrect? I don't know the entire story but I do believe the change in python was to plug a security issue. However, without the edits both SB & SAB are very secure because they don't work. I'm not sure how it could be a problem at the other end but I'll do some more asking around to see what I can find. I'm a little surprised that no one else is reporting this problem on either plugin.

python issues with ssl certificates: I've posted a couple of questions earlier in this thread about issues with sickbeard. I found a work around but then hit the same issue in SABnzbd. It appears that the current version of python has issues with ssl certificates. I've had to make edits to both sickbeard.py & sabnzbd.py to get them to work. However, every time I reboot my server I loose the edits. Here are the discussions I found: sickbeard forum: ( http://goo.gl/QlE80N ) sabnzbd forum: ( http://goo.gl/WpjYtK ) and here are the edits I made: /usr/local/Sickbeard/sickbeard.py import ssl ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context /usr/local/Sabnzbd/sabnzbd.py opt_out_of_certificate_verification = True if opt_out_of_certificate_verification: try: import ssl ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context except: pass Would it be possible to update the plugins with these changes so the files don't have to be manually edited after each reboot? BTW, I love the easy with which these plugins install & configure. Great job PhAze.

I'm having issues with the sickbeard plugin not being able to complete a search to usenet-crawler. I get an error message like so: SEARCHQUEUE-MANUAL-SEARCH :: No data returned from https://www.usenet-crawler.com/api?apikey=.......'>https://www.usenet-crawler.com/api?apikey=....... SEARCHQUEUE-MANUAL-SEARCH :: Error loading Usenet-Crawler URL: https://www.usenet-crawler.com/api?apikey=...... I've found a couple of references to this error around the web, first with Influencers plug-ins here at unRaid. ( http://goo.gl/mkR3ly ) it suggested changing the "run as" setting to "root". I did that and I still get the error. The second discussion was on the SB board ( http://goo.gl/8xPlqX ) and it said the issue was with the version of python and suggested a change to sickbeard.py. However I can't find that file and fear that it is compress and rebuild each time unraid is loaded. Anyone else having this problem and have a solution? *** after posting this I found the sickbeard.py file & made the change listed above and now my searches work. However I don't know how to change the tar.gz file on the flashdrive. That means the next time I reboot the server I'm going to loose this change.

SABnzbd permissions: I seem to have something set up wrong in the SAB plugin. Every time it finishes a download the resulting files are in a fold that I can't access. Here is the structure & the permissions appdata/Sabnzbd/config/Downloads/complete drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 176 2015-07-16 17:58 appdata/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 104 2015-07-16 12:35 Sabnzbd/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 288 2015-07-16 13:02 config/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 168 2015-07-16 13:50 Downloads/ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 296 2015-07-18 07:53 complete/ I created everything to this point. SAB then does this inside of "complete" drwx------ 1 root root 120 2015-07-18 07:53 showone/ drwx------ 1 root root 168 2015-07-18 07:40 showtwo/ *** While typing this quesiton I found the solution on the "USER FOLDER" tab: Permissions for completed downloads I've set it to 777 and all is good. I thought I'd still post this as it might help someone else.

I don't have the category in SAB but I didn't on my win7 box either. Just the default category. so I turned off HTTPS, changed the category in SB to default and changed the URL to http://localhost:8080/ and it connects. It would be nice to have https working but I'll take what I can get. Now I'm off to update the post processing script. Thanks.

solve two problems & discover one new one. sigh... Sickbeard & Sabnzbd are now running but I can't get Sickbeard to talk to Sabnznd. In sickbeard on Config/Search Settings/NZB search I have x Search NZBs NZB Method - SABnzbd SABnzbd URL - https://localhost:9090/sabnzbd/ SABnzbd Username - therightname SABnzbd Password - therightpword SABnzbd API Key - therightkey SABnzbd Category - HDTV I copied the username, password & api key from the SABnzbd config screens. I also tried the servers name & IP address instead of localhost. Any thoughts?

Well that didn't work. I moved everything out of the config folder that I had created; restarted the server; Sabnzbd was listed as uninstalled; so reinstalled it; fails to start with the same error. I'm going to kill unmenu and see if that helps. killing unmenu worked. I noticed that both unmenu & Sabnzbd were using port 8080. On my win7 machine Sabnzbd was using port 9090. I'm going to get it configured and then think about if I want to have unmenu back. Thanks all.

Well aren't I an idiot! That solved one issue. Thanks.

I'm trying to install sickbeard & sabnzbd and am having a couple of issues. config: unRaid 5.0.6 Dynamix & unmenu are installed. I have reboot the server after installing the plugins. issue one: Both plugins give me an error message for the config directory as follows: WARNING: Your config directory is not persistent and WILL NOT survive a reboot. Please locate the directory on disk for persistency I have the config directories set as: /mnt/Public/unRaid_Apps/Sickbeard/Config /mnt/Public/unRaid_Apps/Sabnzbd/Config I have also tried: //tower/public/unRaid_Apps/Sickbeard/Config //tower/public/unRaid_Apps/Sabnzbd/Config issue two: Sabnzbd won't start. The error message is concerning the PID PID not created, application did not start for some reason start failed issue three: I would like to move my existing configurations from my win7 box. I can find the config files for Sabnzbd and have moved them. We'll see if it is working after I get it to start. For Sickbeard I moved the following from my win7 box: autoProcessTV cache data lib Logs sickbeard.db sickbeard.db.v15 sickbeard.db.v16 sickbeard.db.v17 sickbeard.db.v18 However, when I start sickbeard none of this configuration is read. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

TA DA!!!! Thanks.

So here's a really basic question: I'm using putty to start a telnet session on my win7 box and then starting midnight commander. Instead of getting nice boxes around the panels I get extended ascii characters. Is there something I need to change in Putty? eg. this is what I see around the panels âââââ instead of this ?? Thanks.
