Nah I'm not that bad haha, these drives were precleared 3 times in a row before being put into use along with the other drives in the array. SMART reports were golden pre&post preclear so all these pending sectors are new ones. They were going strong all the way up until the latest parity check, the last being 1/1/12. OK so next steps. [*]copy everything off disk2 to other disks in array (I assume its not a problem to copy if OFF the array too, just puts whatever disk I copy it too at risk if its not protected right?) [*]Copy data back on to disk 2 after sacrificing goat [*]Check to ensure pending sectors/unrecoverable sectors etc has not risen since previous report, else RMA [*]Do the same with above with cache drive [*]Once both cache and disk2 seem ok, recheck parity which should sort parity drive. If Allocated sectors jumps dramatically consider RMA Thanks for the help guys! I'll follow up after disk2 is moved, deleted and added back.

Server is actually an HP Proliant ML110 I got for free. Unsure on PSU make, though I wanted to upgrade to a custom setup so I could add more disks (Server is full) I could copy the data off disk2 to a disk off the array, thats not a big deal. I'll do that tonight. What would you recommend I do with the drives? I guess sector reallocation is inevitable sometimes but am I seeing enough that the drives are in danger? Man, what a pain! hah.

My server (4.7 plus) does a monthly parity scan. After I ran it, I saw there were errors on disk 0, 2, and my cache drive. Here's a snapshot of mymain, syslog and smart reports for all three. I'm not familiar with sector reallocation, usually my drives just straight up fail. SMART says they've all passed, should I be worried or carry on? I'd love if someone with a better mind on these kinds of things took a peek. I havent touched the system since I have noticed these problems. Should I shut down and reboot so the sectors are allocated or...? RMA? Yikes! Thank you!!

I'm curious about this too, I'd like to have my Couchpotato, sickbeard and plex accessible from my phone but it sounds like its a bad idea even with strong passwords. is there a way to do some sort of SSH tunnel from the phone or will that not get around the problem?

There's always the one I forget, are your cases exact? A capital letter can mess the whole thing up.

ugh, I just missed this and really wanted one. Thanks for posting the deal!

Is anyone consistently using headphones? It was pretty funky way back, but they've been updating it all the time. Curious if its ready for primetime or not yet!

Yes, it only has one parity drive (think of it like RAID5) except that the data isnt striped, so lets say you lose two drives in an unlikely incident (parity drive and a data drive) - you'd only use the data on that lost data drive, the other drives would be fine. There's been talk of adding a 2nd parity drive in the roadmap, but its way down the road. I hope it gets prioritized once V5 is final, because thats the next/last big piece that would lock me into never considering ZFS or another filesystem.

Great, thanks! I'll give those levels a try and see what happens I suppose.

Here is my layout and user shares. Disk1/Movies/HD/FilmName/FilmName.avi + metadata Disk1/Movies/SD/FilmName/FilmName.avi + metadata Disk2/Movies/HD/FilmName/FilmName.avi + metadata Disk3/TV/Show/Season#/episodes Disk4/TV/Show/Season#/episodes I plan on using split level 0 so that the movies stay in HD or SD, and so that the tv shows stay in theirs. My question is more for the TV shows, lets say I rip the first 10 seasons of a show to my TV share. It copies them over to disk3, and then after the move it hits the highwater cap and going forward new data goes to disk4. Now, if I add more seasons, will unraid know it needs to copy them to disk3 to keep the file structure intact, or will it copy to disk4 because it has the free space? I'm guessing this would happen with MOST FREE and FILL UP allocation too. Am I going about this the wrong way? My fear is if I use user shares and it starts filling as it pleases, if disk 3 toasted, I'd have seasons 1-10 of SHOW_X gone, and 11-20 on disk4. I'd rather have it all together so its easier to keep track of. Would doing Split level 1 and then include disk3&4 under TV (and exclude others) make sure that even though the allocation method calls for data to be written to disk 4 (maybe disk4 has 2tb of free space and disk3 only has 500gb) , if I added new seasons to a show on disk3, it would get added to disk 3? or would the system decide to create new seasons on 4? My eyes bleed when I reread my post, but hopefully this makes sense. let me know if it doesn't!

Yup, I glazed over the chance there'd be a "dont export/disable" under EXPORT. I'm an idiot. Thanks for the quick help!

Jesus don't tell me its this simple, I must have gone through it a million times trying to figure it out since I knew it had to be there somewhere or else Id have heard about it on the forums. I'll check it out tonight. Thanks all!

I did some searching and didn't really find an answer to what I was looking for so I wanted to ask if this is possible. I have a 5 disk array with a cache drive which has some addons installed to it on 4.7. I set up user shares to set up a MOVIES and TV share because each share spans over a couple disks. The issue I ran into is that the user share control in unraid seems like its an "all or nothing" kind of deal, where you can either share every single folder in the root of a disk as user share (including the cache disk which seems weird), or none. The only way to remove shares is to empty the folder. Not really ideal when I just need two user shares and now I have 20+ haha. Is this functionality maybe in the 5 betas? All I need is either the ability to delete/hide shares and keep the ones I want, or be able to pick and choose what shares I want to make. Is there an addon or something that does this. I wouldnt be using the mover script since I'm very OCD about what goes where on each disk, but I do want a consolidated location apps like xbmc can pull from and users who I don't want digging around in all my root disk shares. Thanks!

I have 1 xbmc in a regular 'ole htpc, but I plan to up it to two soon. Have the SQL databse installed and already waiting for the first time I watch a show, pause it, go to the other room and continue it where I left off. Its the little things.

Hey NOX6 what kind of network do you have? Gigabit wired? Wireless? I run gigabit wired and have no speed difference in the two (sql vs local) - just a different perspective I guess. I have mine running on my cache drive which is usually spun up though.

you can add to the OP that there is NO way to use symnlinks or any sort of tool that simulates one in windows XP. You'll have to use a different program like dropbox or something like that.

oh is that it? I DIDN'T check that assuming that meant it WOULD check my nfo. Fingers crossed that fixes it, thanks for the advice! EDIT: aaaand that was the problem. Thanks funbubba good catch.

I think its an issue with this fresh install of XBMC, I need to figure out what I goofed since all my nfos have the set info. ughhhhh.

hey all you peoples who have done this, I set this up last night (thanks again for the tutorial, the only issue I had was setting up a symlink in windows XP since its not a native command) - but I previously had SETS set up for my movies, like THE GODFATHER etc. They don't show up in my library as a set anymore. Anyone else using sets and knows for a fact it works and my system is just not pulling the nfos correctly or something? thanks!

So for example my films are on disk 1 and disk 2. If I install my SQL database to disk 1, will it spin down when not in use if I enable that swap file? Or is that kins of redundant and I should just shovel it all onto the cache disk?

Hell yes, this was the last step I needed to take on my unraid server. This back and forth on discs being spun up, if I install all the MSQL data to the cache drive will that be ok as long as I periodically back up the database? (Is backing it up easily possible? I've never used MSQL before) If my Cache drive spins all the time I'm ok with that, couchpotato kind of does that anyway so its not a big deal to me. thanks!

A little late since you already installed things, but if you want to start from scratch here is a wiki entry for installing that's up to date. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Install_Python_based_servers

Config set up just fine, though I had issue with localhost/using my server IP in the fields for SAB, couchpotato and sickbeard. I ended up using 0.0.0.0:port and it went great. Just watched a tv episode make it from the tubes to sickbeard, to sab and then processed by sickbeard, then into the correct folder on my array. Goddamn, I used all three apps independantly on a windows machine and having all of them working together really is the bees knees. Really thanks again for making that wiki entry, its sooo much easier than fumbling through threads and web posts.

I am running through this and I seem to have hit an issue. Everything installed great except when I got to the reboot to fire up the packages nothing happens. I disabled unMenu before I booted, but only sickbeard is functional on 8081. Sickbeard (8080) and couchpotato (5000) show nothing. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: Not sure what the issue was but using this command from the lockstockmods page got it working: python /mnt/cache/.custom/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -s 192.168.2.139:8082 that being my server IP of course. EDIT2: is telnet case sensitive? When i renamed \\Tower\cache\.custom\couchpotato to CouchPotato it seems to have worked. LAST EDIT SHEESH: I am up and running with some tweaking. I needed to boot SAB the the first time with the above code, and when I adjusted the case sensitivity in the go script things are peachy. Now onto the config step.

True, it sounds like its just simpler to do that.
