    It keeps going (doing additional passes) until you reboot the machine.

    Unraid does not include any sleep capability as standard! Have you installed the S3 Sleep plugin? If so that would be where to look.
  3. itimpi
    If you have the parity check tuning plugin installed then it should be including in the history information whether the check was correcting or not.

    I’ve seen lots of reports in the past of SAS drives having issues if you try and spin them down.

    A small number of reallocated sectors is not normally a cause for concern. However if it keeps increasing steadily then I would be much more worried as that could be a sign of incipient total failure happening in the near future.

    You do not make it clear why you need multiple arrays rather than having the mix of drives in the main array with each share being constrained to the drives you want to use for that share? Not saying you do not have a valid reason but worth checking that you do not have a misunderstanding of how Unraid works.
  7. itimpi
    The mover can only move files to/from the main array and a share associated with a particular pool. It does not move files between pools if that was what you were hoping for

    The ? icon at the top right is a toggle to turn the built in help on/off. You can also do it for individual fields by clicking on the text describing the field.

    This is not a standard Unraid facility, There is the S3 Sleep plugin that tries to implement this, How well it works seems to depend on your hardware. it is a case of trying to see if it works for you. the wake side is typically a bios setting. there is always the option of simply powering off at a specified time and then rebooting as an an alternative to sleep.

    Only if you configure the share to have this behaviour. You can configure a User share to never be put on the main array.

    The progress only updates every 10%. I normally expect something like 1-2 hours per TB of hard drive space.

    You can find the instructions for rebuilding a drive onto itself here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page.

    A f;ash drive (pendrive) works fine. It just needs to be a storage device.
  14. itimpi
    NO! If you format you will erase the content of the drive (and parity will be updated to reflect an empty file system). The correct handling of unmountable array drives is covered here in the online documentation.

    Unless you are using them all you could plug a USB flash drive into one of the external USB sockets? Not ideal but would work.
  16. itimpi
    Yes. If you use a Mac, then macOS can create files with this sort of name unless you have set a setting (not sure where) to stop it doing that on network shares. The 'g0od' files will also be human readable text files which is another way to check.

    It might be worth looking in the config/pools folder on the flash drive to see if there are files corresponding to these spurious entries? If so they can be deleted.
  18. itimpi
    This can happen if you have insufficient space on the flash, or if you have less than 4GB RAM. You can always use the manual method of doing an upgrade in such cases.

    The vdisk images can be located anywhere that is convenient - no need for them all to be on the same drive. Putting them on the main array will, however, give significantly lower performance for any writes.

    It is not required to pass a GPU to a VM as one can be emulated if you are using VNC to access the VM. You can also install Remote Desktop servers into a VM (I prefer NoMachine) to access the server. The normal reason for passing through anGPU is for the increased graphics performance that you get.
  21. itimpi
    Should give identical results.
  22. itimpi
    Not normally.

    I believe that it is quite easy to get Linux to format drives larger than 32GB to FAT32. A bit of Googling should give you directions.
  24. itimpi
    The FAT32 is a requirement which is why a maximum of 32GB is recommended as that is the largest standard Windows will format to FAT32. There are 3rd party tools around that can format larger drives to FAT32. I think the Unraid USB Creator tool may also handle this but I am not sure. Having said that 128GB is a huge overkill as even 8GB is more than enough for Unraid.

    5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct PO--CK 100 100 010 - 12288 I am surprised that you have not had issues previously with this drive. A small number of reallocated sectors is normally OK as long as the number remains stable, but a number this large is definitely a sign of trouble.
