How long does it generally take for support to get back to people on this issue? Currently at a stand-still with my server until I can get the flash drive GUID issue resolved. Thanks all!

Good day everyone! In the process of finalizing a new 2025 server build. My existing USB key is on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 build. The new build utilizes an i5-14500. I've successfully tested the new system and it seems to be stable. What throws a little bit of a curveball into all of this is that I ended up buying new disks to also update with. While doing beta testing on a new USB key with a trial (which is about to expire), I copied the old data (not moved) to the new disks. All is good to go there including parity that was built. My question is what is the best path forward here? Do a backup of the old system and then burn that ZIP file that to the new USB stick where I had the temporary key running (which is about to expire). Power down old system. Put the USB stick in the new build and boot. "Replace Key" on the new build when it loads. A bunch of docker appdata and what not (including poster art much of which is custom and not downloaded from anywhere) exist on the OLD cache drive. What is the best way of moving this to the new system? Copy all folders to a USB stick and then bring that across to the same /cache/appdata folder on the new build? Is there anything else I need to worry about or files, etc. that I should copy? OLD build has a specific Static IP set which the dockers are using. To avoid headaches, I'm going to set the static IP up on the NEW build to the same to avoid issues with anything on my network using that specific IP address to communicate. OLD build had 4x 16TB drives (3 data, 1 parity). In the test system, I created a new XFS array with a parity drive using 4x 20TB drives (3 data, 1 parity) and copied the data over from the old drives into the new system. Did a preclear on the drives as an (in)sanity check and all was good. Then loaded each of the 3x 16TB drives one-by-one into the new system and copied the data across. Finally, created the parity drive and ran a parity check that took almost 30 hours but all seems good. Seeing that the OLD build's unRAID build is now running on the NEW build, what do I need to do ensure that I don't see the system start wanting to preclear/erase everything? Thanks in advance. Just a little nervous as I move from the clunker build I once have to something speedier and more compact but want to make sure I don't lose any data in the process.

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.

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!

I'm going to mark this "solved" for now. Did a lot more digging and came up with the Noctua NH-U12S as the suggested best idea of a cooler on the new board. Questioning which power supply so asked over in that thread. Thanks all.

Hey everyone, Since biting the bullet and deciding to upgrade my entire system after random reboots (it was time, anyhow), I’ve come to the following crossroads and parts. Right now, I’ve got two questions of which one fits best in this thread. My 2020 build consists of: Fractal Design Define R6 USB-C (cheaper than R6, simply won't hook up the USB-C connector since I can't) Asrock Rack X470D4U 2x Kingston KSM26ED8/16ME AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ** question: stock cooler or better to plunk down on the Noctua NH-U12S which fits the board/ram layout? Went with bequiet! Pure Rock cooler because it doesn't need a backplate that I'd need to heat up and try to remove off. Still blocks one of the RAM slots but I'm not adding more than 32GB, anyhow, 5x 10TB Seagate Barracuda Pro 1x Kingston 120GB SSD for cache drive Sabrent Rocket 256 NVMe drive (although it's gonna hit the max threshold) for cache. Might use the Kingston as a scratch drive for data, etc., or simply retire it. There will come a time when I need to add more drives but for the immediate future, the 5 will suffice. Did some PSU research both here and in the "competition's" forums and originally thought about purchasing a Corsair HX750 or RM750x (about a US$10 price difference in favour of the latter) or, because it's probably better efficiency, the Seasonic SSR-550PX. It's also about US$30 cheaper than the RM750x (and about US$40 cheaper than the HX750). Everything I've read states that the Focus+ Platinum 550 is more than sufficient for what I'm doing and what I plan to do down the road (I don't see myself adding more than 4 or 5 more drives and even then that'll be in the years to come since I'll have about 10TB free on the current build). Considering I'm aiming for 275W (50%) on average, I think the 550W PSU is the best option especially since the comparable Corsair PSU at 550W (RM550x) is listed at less than $10 less than what I was able to get the Seasonic Platinum for. Right choice on the PSU? I already ordered it and got it held for me since they're darn near impossible to find right now. Supposed to pick up the case and CPU tomorrow along with the PSU. ** Update: Purchased the SSR-550PX simply because I could get it. Had to order some extra power cables from BTOS Integration (not risking generic crap with my build). Complete side note: MemTest86 Pro 8.3 had no issues with my build and Ubuntu 20.04.4 is running mprime right now at 13 hours in with no issues. Looks like I'm closing to restarting the build/migration. Thanks all!

Bump. Changed board to ASRock X470D4U and memory to 2x Kingston KSM26ED8/16ME. Now, to use the use the stock Ryzen 5 3600 cooler which is known to block memory slot four on the board or to get an aftermarket cooler but which one? Board and RAM are going to be showing up in the next week and a half or so, so I want to have the rest of what I need to get going when it arrives. Thanks all!

@Benson, made a decision to spend a little more and go with the Asrock Rack X470D4U instead. I liked that other X570 board but didn't like the chipset cooler. And the Rack board lets me run ECC. Seems to be a smarter move for more sensitive data.

Thanks... only other board I can find is the Asrock X570 Pro4 which seems decent (if I can find one).

The latter part is where I'm getting stuck; I feel as though there's a good chance that it doesn't have a current BIOS and I'll be stuck (because I can't use my 2400G, either). Do you have any suggestions on a decently priced board that supports the R5-3600? My main criteria are minimum 6 SATA ports (prefer 8 but know those are harder to find) and has Intel LAN (not Realtek). Thanks!

Thanks @Benson. I fully realize "3200" speeds are overclocked to achieve the speed -- I'm particularly interested in whether or not Unraid is a fan of overclocking (because I've seen some people post at 3200 and others at 2400/2666). Knowing that you have the X370-Pro, are you happy with it? If you were buying a board right now, even though this is older, would you still buy the X370 today? Thanks @johnnie.black -- once again. From what I'm reading OC 3200 is safe on the 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs although I'm sure running it slower wouldn't hurt anything if I chose to.

Bumping this as I've changed the build and have a question about Ryzen 5 Memory Speeds. TIA!

Changing direction. I’ve simplified this post but decided to replace the original i5-9500 for the Ryzen 5 3600. Then I was struggling with X470 vs x570 and ended up jumping up to the Asrock Rack X470D4U. Decided I’ll go ECC as well as somebody suggested I should “buy nice or buy twice.” ** forgot to add: repurposing NZXT H440 case. Desktop case so apparently cooler clearance is 180mm OLD BUILD: Board: Gigabyte Z170N-WiFi mATX board (originally ran an mATX case with a dual-core processor before upgrading to the i5 below) CPU: i5-6500 (not overclocked) RAM: Kingston 2x8GB DDR4-2133 Cooler: Notcua NH-9Li (had this from a smaller system build I'd previously done) NEW BUILD: Board: Asrock Rack X470D4U CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 RAM: 2x Kingston 16GB (KSM26ED8/16ME) Cooler: Use stock (which blocks memory slot 4) or... Looking for any advice out there.
