Hey everyone, Trying very unsuccessfully to get Unraid SMB to work with a Denon HEOS amp. Realized SMB 1 has been long discontinued and, since the app doesn't support SMB 2, I'm stuck looking at alternatives. Currently, I have multiple paths with music stored in them. That is, I have a folder structure that looks something like this: AUDIO LOSSLESS/ALBUMS AUDIO LOSSLESS/Hi-RES (which has BLU-RAY AUDIO, DSF 2.0, DSF 5.1, DVD-A (FLAC), and FLAC in it) AUDIO LOSSLESS/SOME OTHER FOLDERS AUDIO LOSSY/ALBUMS Here's the conundrum. I've tried setting up two PATHS within the minidlna config because I don't want it looking at every single folder (i.e., BLU-RAY AUDIO won't help a 2.0 receiver NOR will DSF 5.1 or DVD-A FLAC files for that matter). Assuming it's looking for "/media", when it attempts to rebuild the config files, it errors out and drops the docker off my machine and I have to install. What I want to do is have it look at a handful of the above paths, specifically: AUDIO LOSSLESS/ALBUMS/ AUDIO LOSSLESS/HI-RES/DSF/2.0 AUDIO LOSSLESS/HI-RES/FLAC AUDIO LOSSLESS/A COUPLE OF OTHER FOLDERS AUDIO LOSSY/ALBUMS Is there a way to point to multiple paths within the config? Or do I have to edit something manually? Or, am I stuck doing what I really DON'T want to do, and put what I want to be seen in one folder so it can scan accordingly? I really don't want to do the last option so any help here is appreciated. EDIT/UPDATE: I did some further digging and could never get it to look at the folders structured the way I did. Only way around this was to restructure my folders into Stereo and Multi-Channel within one parent. Problem is solved but did notice another issue. When scrubbing (using the HEOS app), DSF files will get all static-y when they start playing from where they resume. Not a huge thing but noticed this quirk. I'm just glad to have my hi-res audio playable on my 2.0 amp now.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to determine my best path forward. Currently have 1x Parity and 5x Data Drives. All current drives are 10 TB. I’m upgrading from 6 drives total to 5 x 16 TB. The first thing I did was move data off one drive and then shrink the array. The 15th is the day my parity check runs so everything should be okay. I'm trying to determine which way forward to migrate to the new drives. Naturally, all drives will be precleared ahead of going online. Providing they all check out, should I simply do the parity rebuild first by pulling the old drive (and holding onto it), installa new disk and assign it as parity, and let it rebuild it? Once done, rinse and repeat for each data drive? Or is there a better way? Thanks.

Thank you for this. I’ll keep an eye on it but find it strange it’s happening daily or close to it. I’ve noticed this more since moving to RC2.

I'm experiencing something similar. The past while, I'm getting a bunch of reads and writes on media disks used by Plex. I've ensured it's not set to scan for changes as I do this manually but I'm getting disk reads around 2am and 5am daily: I did have md_write_method set ro reconstruct write and changed it to AUTO. Will see what happens. Logs simply show: Will update tomorrow.

Not sure if this belongs in here but ran into a small snag this evening. After preclearing (it passed) via USB and shucking a 10TB Seagate Expansion Drive (Ironwolf Pro), I'm trying to offload certain folders from a mount drive (mnt3) to the new drive (mnt5). Using binhex-krusader, I used the move to the other pane option and saw my speeds in 6.9.0rc2 go from 225 MB/s down to 60 MB/s. I've got reconstruct write enabled so I'm not sure why this is happening. In this case, I'm trying to move all of my TV media from two drives to the new one to clear up some space. I've done this without issue in an older version and got 220 MB/s read/write for both. At one point, on the first attempt, I ended up getting three beeps after the web gui dropped off on me. I tried again and didn't have this issue. I did a smaller test (28GB of data) and it did the same; dropped from 225 MB/s to 60MB/s with a lot of drive chatter. Any ideas? Thanks all!

Thanks for the 411. Worst case, I can just manually spin them down. Obviously it's a plug in of some sort that's the problem as when I had Unraid booted in safe mode, everything functioned as expected. Here's hoping RC3 isn't too far off.

Where is telegraf? Autofan is long removed. Hoping RC3 fixes this mess.

So, drives are remaining spun down that are already down. Still having an issues with drives not spinning down in 6.9.0 RC2 (where they're up). I've got the drives and the disk settings at 1 hour for spin down but it's not happening. Any ideas? Or do I want to try the above? blackbox-diagnostics-20210101-1333.zip

Just removed Dynamix Auto Fan Control in case.

Woke up this morning to find, IIRC, drives 2 and 3 spinning. Grabbed diagnostic files again. When I went to bed around 9-10 hours ago, everything was spun down. Happy New Year everyone! blackbox-diagnostics-20201231-0845.zip

Should turbo write be disabled then? I've just double checked Plex and _NOTHING_ is being scanned: Just trying to get this resolved as I'm going to be adding in another drive (need to preclear it first). Thanks everyone.

Here's an update. I rebooted in standard GUI mode and woke up with Drive 3 (of 4) plus Partity being spun-up. I'm attaching a copy of my diagnostics as suggested; hoping somebody can figure out what Plugin is behaving badly. For the record, these are the Plugins running: * CA Auto Update Applications * Community Applications * Dynamix Auto Fan Control * Dynamix SSD TRIM * Dynamix System Information * Dynamix System Statistics * Dynamix System Temperature * Fix Common Problems * Preclear Disks * Statistics * Unassigned Devices * Unassigned Devices Plus Thanks everyone. And wishing you and yours all the best for 2021. blackbox-diagnostics-20201230-1030.zip

2 1/2 days later and the drives are spinning down in safe mode the way they should. I’ll have to reboot and then run diagnostics and post them. Definitely a plug-in that’s messing things up.

Thanks @JorgeB. Have rebooted in safe mode with GUI. 3h5m and no spin up so far. Usually (at least) one drive would've spun up by now. I didn't disable Dockers, however, so this points me in the direction of a plugin.

Having an issue with drives not spinning down and staying that way. I've set the drives to spin down on each drive plus the universal disk setting. I'm assuming I'll need to get some logs to figure this out. What will I need to do in order to make that happen so I can get this resolved? Thanks everyone.
