    What you can have which I think achieves what you want is: 2x18TB in main array 500GB NVME as pool1 set to act as cache for shares on main array pool2 with multiple spinning HD set up as RAID1 to give redundancy to be used for torrenting. still leaves other drives free to either be added to array, or perhaps used as pools for hosting VMs and/or Docker containers. the Unraid roadmap does talk about having multiple main arrays, but if this ever does materialise it is still some way off.

    If you are prepared to have 2 licences then it is quite easy to have the second one plugged in (already licenced) that can act as a hot standby that you can switch to by selecting it as the boot device and which will not require internet access. Probably a cost most private users do not want to bear, but could be appropriate in your case? If this is likely to be of use I could write up the details of the way to achieve this and add it to the online documentation (I may do that anyway in case anyone else wants it ) .

    What you did should should have worked Nothing obvious springs to mind, but random ideas I have are: Permission issues that could be fixed by running Docker Safe New Permissions tool File System corruption that could be fixed by running File System Check/Repair on all drives As I said earlier your diagnostics might give some other clue.

    Normally you do not want to use cache for initial load - it will just slow things down as the cache can be written much faster than it can be emptied. In terms of a suitable size for the cache drive then it should be sized for the typical amount of new material you intend to write per day (and then mover running overnight can empty it) and has nothing to do directly with the size of the array drives.

    The screenshots shows that the normal shutdown script has been triggered. This will either be something you are running that calls the script or something obscure that makes Unraid think you have made a short press on the power switch. If it boots OK into Safe Mode then it will almost certainly be one of your plugins.

    Have you checked that the file does not already exist on an array disk? Mover will not move a file if one with the same name already exists on the array.. You may get better informed feedback if you post your system’s diagnostics zip file.

    Not quite sure what you mean here? You can only have 1 main array but you can have multiple pools that can act as cache or application drives. Pools can be single drive or multi-drive (using BTRFS RAID modes).
  8. itimpi
    Have you tried setting the file system type BEFORE starting the array? I would also suggest that you deleted any existing partitions first as Unraid normally wants to do the partitioning itself of any drive it is going to use.

    As was mentioned this is an excellent speed for writing to a parity protected array! you might want to read this section of the online documentations accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI.

    I went with WireGuard in preference because I have it set up so I can access any device on my home LAN, not just the Unraid server. When away from home I regularly want to access a Windows desktop on my home LAN which I access using NoMachine Remote Desktop running over WireGuard.

    Do not know anything about Chrome Remote Access, but I do this frequently the time using the WireGuard VPN Server built into Unraid to handle securing the access.

    In that case you can follow this procedure from the online documentations accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI.

    You can get Windows giving misleading error messages as Windows only ever allows 1 set of credentials to be used at the same time to a particular server. Aay attempt to use second ones act as if you do not have a valid username/password for accessing that server. A possible workaround is to make one connection using the server name and the other one using the IP address as Windows treats this as two different servers. Whether this is your problem I do not know? What are the access permissions set on that share in the Unraid GUI?

    The ability have executeable files on the flash was removed some Unraid releases ago as part of tightening security. another workaround is to precede the script name with ‘sh’ or ‘bash’.

    Unraid always uses eth0 for its GUI.
  16. itimpi
    How did you set the script to execute at array start? Have you tried booting Unraid in Safe Mode?
  17. itimpi
    That is because you have configured the docker service to use that location for containers (you must have changed it from the default of using an appdata share).
  18. itimpi
    you can always remove any plugin by removing the relevant .plg file (or renaming it to a different extension) from the ‘config/plugins’ folder on the flash drive and rebooting.
  19. itimpi
    Have you tried installing the Config File Editor plugin to see if that will allow you to edit that file?
  20. itimpi
    Have you enabled the docker service? That share is only auto-created when you do. why are you looking for that share anyway?
  21. itimpi
    Chances are it is the way you have a docker container configured.

    Do NOT do this. Mixing a disk path and a user share path in the same command is very likely to lead to data loss I would suggest explicitly moving some files from the disk1 path to an equivalent disk2 path or use the unBalance plugin.
  23. itimpi
    There is a button to do this on the Main tab.

    The setting you changed only applies to NEW files. Any existing files are left where they are as mover ignores any shares with the “No” setting. if you want content to be moved from cache to array then you need the “Yes” setting and then run mover to get the files transferred to the array. Note that open files cannot be moved so make sure you have nothing running that will hold the files open.

    This suggest you did not get a clean shutdown. You might want to look at this section of the online documentations accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI to see if any of it applies to you.
