    If the disks to be removed are empty then you can use Tools->New Config to reset the array to only include the drives you want to keep.   If any drive to be removed is not empty you need to first move its data elsewhere.

    Thanks for this. Spaceinvader gave two options to shrink the array; i chose to zero out the drives and while it took 4 days there was no issue with parity.

  2. Recently I bought a 16TB USB 3.0 drive to offload my data. 

     

    a) Plugged in my Unraid Server chassis and it is recognized in "Unassigned Devices". Format it ok to xfs.

    b) Created a new Device for this USB Drive.

     

    What I would like to do:

     

    1) Access the USB drive on the network or within UNRAID to backup my data automatically.

     

    What I do not want to do:

     

    1) Plug it in on my Linux/Mac/Windows USB 3.0 port, format it, and manually transfer all data from UNRAID to USB Drive.

     

    What is the easiest way to automate the above?

    A 1 Gb/sec network is limited to a bit over 100 MB/sec so expecting anything much higher is not sensible.

     

    To get anything higher you need 10 Gb/sec networking but even with that other factors may limit speeds.

    So assuming I changed NIC's, routers, switches to a 10GIG setup with CAT 6 or 7, I reckon the local network speeds will improve somewhat and to what degree? Seems like 10GIG is the solution here. 

  4. When I transfer files to/from my UNRAID server the speeds are quite slow. Not entirely sure if all my shares are actually using the cache I designated from the onset; (setting = cache: YES). As you can see from the pic, the max throughput for each HD is about 250 mb/s. I get half that if I am  lucky when transferring from server to the local machine (Linux or Windows). 

     

    1) I know I have gigabit network 

    2) I know 3 out of 8 disks are half full so the performance will drop somewhat; I should expect about 200 MB/s or a bit more but I always hover in the 113 mb/s range.

    3) Is there a setting to maximize HD transfer speed from my UNRAID server to a local endpoint (mac, linux, windows)? A gigabit managed router is managing all my connections at home (no 10 gig network).

  5. My unraid was unfortunately built on a desktop chassis and it gets incredibly hot while my kids game on VM's and I stream large files. I need to move this unraid server to another chassis that can only accommodate 6 disks (4 for the usual data + 2 for parity) w/ plenty of airflow and faster NVME's. 

     

    What is the easiest way to:

     

    1) Delete disk 4,5,6,7 & 8 from my current array

    2) Use the above to move my current array to the new chassis

    3) If above is too involved - what is the cloud option you would recommend to upload all data? then wipe out current unraid and transplant disks to the new unraid chassis.

     

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  6. I work from Starbucks from time to time and I would like to know what is the most efficient, quickest way to access my 3 shares: 1) Work-Stuff 2)Wife-stuff 3)Movies

     

    How do I access my shares at home? map network with windows and smb with PopOS. 

     

    I configured my unraid server to be accessed remotely (port 443 forwarded ok). I also procured a domain w/ Cloudflare. Any tidbits, help, step-by-step guides would be most appreciated.

     

    Also I am willing to pay $$ for someone to help me troubleshoot what is going on w/ Guacamole not seeing my unraid VM's over the local network - bonus if I can access that VM remotely w/ Guacamole and also ssh to my unraid server.

    Under Tools --> System Devices --> I can't seem to find this bluetooth for my guest VM device passthrough.  I've inspected every IOMMU group but nothing comes close to the above. Is my motherboard bluetooth not supported in unraid 6.9.2?

    You should reach out in the nextcloud container support thread instead of here actually. 

     

    But you need to create a database too, not just a user. 

     

    Also I would *not* recommend to not have a password. 

     

    You may want to look up a tutorial or video on setting up nextcloud on unRAID. It should walk you thru everything.

     

    Tutorial worked great! up and running w/ Mariadb. I noticed, like you said, it is a tad slow, but sufficient for my needs.

    I see in nextcloud forum couple people with the same problem, but i see nextcloud have addressed it.
    Try again from scratch following this video. If it doesn't work you could try in a couple of days again, maybe need some time for the patch to be included in the nextcloud image.

     

    This worked perfect. Up and running and configuring. Thank you.

  10. First time installing NextCloud w/ Mariadb and phphmyadmin. 

     

    I am able to install all the above and I configured passwords/users ok. However, I am getting ONE persistent error. If troubleshooting is extensive on this one, I can start from scratch and wipe out everything. This is a first time install.

     

    Has anyone seen this error before and how to address it?

    SQLite's performance is awufl too, would recommend swapping that out right away. If you're having trouble w/ Postgres, I'd install the Linuxserver MariaDB docker container and use either Adminer or PHPMyAdmin (probalby easier of the 2) so you can get a GUI-based managemetn interface for your MariaDB to easily add a user/database.

    Excellent. I will try this sequence of steps and keep you all posted. Thanks!

  12. @CorneliousJD this bit: "... but it is SLOW.  Slow to navigate to site page, slow going between apps."

     

    Do you have other alternatives in mind?

     

    I've tried to install nextcloud with mariadb,mysql,postres and I can't install it yet because of db errors about the password or user not correct. I dabbled in the CLI creating the db name, root name, password, user pass and no dice so far.  I decided to try sqlite which is the default but there is a warning about not using sqlite for production environments. I do have 2 NVME's as cache and I am hoping the slowness you mentioned would be mitigated by this available cache (2TB each) as soon as I find out how to configure nextcloud w/ postgres.
