    Happy to post up my docker-template that I use with the official TinyMediaManager Docker image if someone needs it.

     

    Yes, I still can not get TMM to work on anything, it refuses to write to anything even though I can happily write to the folders from the docker console.

     

    It just suddenly broke one day and I can't figure out why.

    How about the Docker or whatever is placing files in your media location? Maybe it has different permissions/user/group set.

     

    My umask is also set to 000, which I believe is the default.

     

    Mine just updated to 4.3.13 and is working just fine as I just did a set of renaming/moving and meta data adding.

     

    Yeah I considered that as well which is why I tried editing/writing/moving files from the docker console, so inside the TMM instance. It all works fine in there so the docker instance itself is not the issue, it has to be something with TMM it would seem.

     

    I also ran the docker safe permissions script from the unraid tools menu as well to make sure permissions were not an issue.

    The strange part is it used to work fine, it just stopped working for some reason.

    Absolutely no luck at all. I posted the question on Netadata's github for some time and nobody responded, not even the Netdata team. Unbelievable. I also tried to ask on discord and nobody knows.  I'm very surprised that for those who use netdata, they don't even care about monitoring hdd temp? 

    Yeah, I was surprised by this as well, seems like one of the more vital things I would want to monitor, all I really look at in netdata are temps, fan speeds and then the basic cpu/ram/disk etc

    After doing further research, i think my issue is that I need to add the line below in /etc/default/smartmontools. However, as shown below, there is no smartmontools file in that path. 

    smartd_opts="-A /var/log/smartd/ -i 600

     

    Is it 

    /etc/smartd.conf 

    I should be adding that line to?

     

     

     

    I have no idea but I am interested in what you find out. I used hddtemp for awhile and it works but I found it broke drive spinddown. I would like to get drive temps back into netdata.

    The better place to ask about this type of stuff is the github, they have been real good when I have had questions over there.

    Thanks for that, I didn't read the whole thread but looks like it is getting close? Is there any indication when it would be put into a stable release? month? 6 months? A year?

     

    If it is semi-soon I think I will just have his collect the hardware and wait on actually setting things up until ZFS is supported. That will work a lot better.

  6. Long story short, someone wants me to build them a killer NAS with all the fixins.

     

    The issue I am running into is that this server will be a VERY high end system, having more then the 30 drives that unraid allows in the array is highly likely. They also plan to have many users using it at once (plex), so the normal array will not be ideal from a bandwidth perspective either.

     

    This leaves me with using BTRFS raid 5 pools or the ZFS plugin (which I have not done a tone of research on). Raid1 is not practical at this scale.

     

    Is there any indication of when official ZFS support will be added to unraid?

     

    Suggestions for the best option?

    What is the current state of this plugin? What I need is a previous version "shadow copy" in Windows for a share. Sheduled once a day for instance. With zfs, this works perfectly. But I want to run a different file system using Unraid.

     

    How practical is this plugin? Is it reliable?

     

    Lets say I have 5 disks in an array. My plan is to create a share that uses all disks in the array. Will snapshots work in this scenario? 

    Taking snapshots of each disk is simple. They will also be combined together just like unraid does to everything else if viewing remotely.

     

    You are saying you want them exported to windows so you can see them under the previous versions? That can be done but sadly I have not been able to get it to work personally.

     

    If someone knows how it would be FANTASTIC if this plugin could make the necessary config changes automatically.

    Plan is to include something in the next enhancement release next year. Was not included because of potential data loss if it went wrong and creating issue with share settings.

    I can understand the reasoning, same reason I made it optional on one of the scripts I posted sometime back.

     

    I think that under some kind of advanced menu with a warning it should be ok though.

    Yeah looks like this will not work for what I'm looking for I guess I just need to play with trying to setup ZFS Native in unraid. Space Invader has a video on it I guess I just need to watch a few times and figure it out a little bit.

     

    Why is that? You con convert shares into sub volumes so they can be snapshotted indivdually quite easily. IMHO it should be added to the plugin but it can be done manually with a few basic commands.

    Great guide! So far my containers have killed two SSDs before I saw this guide so I've just decided to stick to a spinner cache disk.  However I wanted to move a few containers to the ramdisk for performance.  I noticed this line using the mount point in `/mnt/write-cache/...` and I thought it was some kind of system path but it gave me an error when I ran it manually.  I'm just using `/mnt/cache/...` instead.

     

    Was this a typo or have I incorrectly set this up?

     

    Opps, my bad, that is my custom path for my server, I have a separate cache pool just for the dockers and my normal cache is on raid5 15k drives. Yes, just swap it to whatever your cache path is.

     

    Although I don't actually use the write cache for the array to be honest. I like controlling which disk the data is put on so I move most data to the array manually using the disk paths. Most of the network usage is either reading or directly to the cache.

     

    The stuff that is not are generally backups and that is limited by SMB due to small files, so no reason to use cache.

  11. Are you using a "stop" script like in that guide?

     

    I do not have any issues when using that, it stops all the dockers and then syncs the ramdisk back to appdata before the rest of the shutdown process is started.

     

    I did have to extend the total shutdown timeout for the server some to make sure everything finished (think the setting is settings > disk settings > shutdown timeout).

     

    That said I have not paid attention to is all the dockers are shut down nicely, never really noticed that one.

    I was able to configure the drive in windows 10, but when I copy a file I get an error saying "the file's properties cannot be copied". Can someone help me please?

     

    Try running the "docker safe new perms" tool under the tools menu in unraid. Good place to start when you run into any permissions issues.
