    True. However, as much as going from 2 Gbits to 3  may feel like an improvement, let's not forget that Windows should do much better, and as my tests show, a previous version did.  Also, Kaspersky did  not affect the speed.

    I think there could be a couple of variables not accounted for in your quest for speed. Having tested on Linux that eliminates the hardware path being an issue. However, have you considered Windows drivers? You might want to experiment with the driver provider and the driver version. I also agree with @jonathanm that any third party software installed on your Windows host is suspect. The only way to test that, is with a clean Windows install without third party applications installed. Windows A/V software and firewall software have the potential to severely impact your performance.

  2. The badness starts at Jan 25 04:01:07. What do you have configured to run at 04:00? It might be something inside one of you containers.

     

    Is it always at 04:00?

     

    Can you get dmesg output when the system is in a bad state? Also consider a remote syslog facility.

     

    Since you say the system is responding over TCP/IP; ssh in, then run dmesg command look for oops (kernel panic) and oom (out of memory) errors.

    What was the problem you were experiencing? I generally use Firefox and noted that I cant see any text when I open the terminal window from the menu bar. There is text there because when I do CTRL+A CTRL+C I can paste into a text document.

     

    Is that the problem you're having? If so where did you make the change to get it to work?

    Firefox since at least version 57 (much longer for sure) has had an issue with black text on black background fields in some CSS elements. I know this happens in Gnome, xfce and KDE. It is much worse if you have a dark theme enabled. I don't use Windows so I don't know about that OS. It can be mitigated via a CSS tweak. The Firefox developers say that this is not an issue due to pages written purely in CSS, not due to a Firefox bug, if you consider native input styles to be a feature rather than a bug. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283086

  4. I think it was a controller failure. I took out the two HDDs that were suspect and tested them on a separate host running fsck and smartctl; they had no errors. A friend down the street had a controller I used. I replaced my AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers with a LSI 9305-24i. After ensuring the BIOS and Unraid saw all the devices I followed The 'Trust My Array' Procedure instructions in the Wiki to trust all devices. I then started the array which warned me the parity drive would be overwritten. Unraid forced a parity rebuild and that is currently happening. Data is being written to the parity disk at 152.9 MB/sec and I'm a few percent complete. So things are looking good now.

     

    These controller use Marvell's 88SE6480 Serial ATA Host Controller. All the negative comments about Marvell controllers seem warranted. Save yourself the headache and get rid of them before they bite you.

  5. I am running unraid 6.8.1. I think I've run into a situation where I might be royally screwed. Any assistance is appreciated. 

     

    I was in the process of replacing a 4TB HDD with a 10 TB HDD. I powered down the array. I then swapped out the physical hard drive and put in the new one. I powered up and all devices were present except for the intentional missing disk 6. Then, I changed disk 6 to point to the new HDD /dev/sdo (sane as before the swap). Unraid informed me that it would erase all data and I proceeded. According to the logs before unraid could even format drive 6 (sdo), drive 7 (sdh) threw errors and and the array failed to start. A kernel panic then ensued, but I think that was from the ATA error. I suspect the Marvell SAS driver has experienced issues like so many others have experienced. I've never has a problem with them until now.

     

    So I shutdown unraid. I then put /dev/sdo back to the previous 4TB HDD. I then booted. The BIOS sees all the devices.

     

    Here is the entry where the array know I'm missing disk 6:

    2020-01-21T19:19:56-07:00 nas1 kernel: md: import disk6: (sdo) WDC_WD100EFAX-68LHPN0_JEKAM33N size: 9766436812 
    2020-01-21T19:19:56-07:00 nas1 kernel: md: import_slot: 6 wrong

     

    Imports all the disks:

    2020-01-21T19:20:06-07:00 nas1 kernel: md6: running, size: 9766436812 blocks
    2020-01-21T19:20:06-07:00 nas1 kernel: md7: running, size: 9766436812 blocks

     

    When unraid tries to mount the disk 7 (md7) filesystem it blows up:

    smartctl thinks the disks are okay.

     

    Now I have disk 6 (sdo) back but unraid says it is a new device and thus has it disabled and disk 7 is not found. Thus 2 failed devices and I am toast. Array will not start and array will not rebuild from parity. disk 6 is in perfect condition with all data still intact, but I don't know how to get unraid to trust it so i can replaced the failed disk 7 (sdh) with a new one and rebuild disk 7 from parity. My next step is take out /dev/sdh and try looking at the filesystem on another host. I would like to get the array back to a working state first and then replace the controllers later (first need to buy some).

     

    Are there any suggestion on how I might escape this quandary? Thanks in advance.

  6. I have updated the latest stable 1.2.12 and it has been working for a few hours without issue. Thanks. I need more time and bravery to try going to version 1.4.2. (I suppose it's easy to undo being docker, but I'm in the middle of a parity rebuild so I don't want to risk interrupting that until it is done.) I'm hoping the dockerfile gets updated soon so you can do a build like you were doing previously. Thanks.

    @argonaut Hey, I released a separate tag for you with some dirty hacks, but looks like it's working. You can use the tag spikhalskiy/zerotier:1.4.2 and it will give you the latest Zerotier version. Give it a try if you are in the mood for some experiments :)

    It's an experimental tag and the docker image for this build contains hacks that are not in the Zerotier upstream, so I don't recommend to switch on it until you understand that it could not work for you.

    I made a ticket for Zerotier team: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/1013. When it's resolved in the upstream in a reasonable manner I will update the main docker with Zerotier 1.4.2 or newer for everybody.

    Geez, I feel kind of special. I should have time in the next couple of days to test. I'll report back.

    Does this join the ZeroTier network as a client, bridge or controller? (leaving the default config of the container)

    By default it will join as a client. This image contains ZeroTierOne https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne

    ZeroTier controllers   (the same thing as my.zerotier.com) a lot more configuration. You will also need additional firewall ports opened for the controller to work.  See https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/tree/master/controller for more information. You can view the template for this image here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Spikhalskiy/docker-templates/master/zerotier.xml

  9. First, thanks. I love ZeroTier. I appreciate your efforts to build and maintain this Docker image. In your CLI example

    ./zerotier-cli listnetwork

     should be 

    ./zerotier-cli listnetworks

    per the help file 

    Available commands:
      info                    - Display status info
      listpeers               - List all peers
      listnetworks            - List all networks
    ...

    Second, any chance you can find some time to upgrade the version to 1.2.8?

     

    Great work Dmitry.

  10. Oh man back in the 1.5 TB days Seagate was truly awful. Thousands upon thousands of drives were returned. The firmware updates took several version to stabilize and you had to do through a raw SATA interface via bootable floppy in DOS. I had guys pulling drives out of array for weeks to update. Up to and including 4 TB drives I only purchased WDC I would never let anyone buy a Seagate of any kind below 6 TB. The 4 TB WDC Reds are fantastic. I hated Seagate. However since that time the QA for Seagate has improved dramatically. in the 6 and 8 TB Enterprise/Red I only buy Seagate (6/8TB) now, I don't know about Blues/Greens in these sizes, the WDC might be better, I don't own any. WDC seems less reliable in 6/8 TB Red for me. The Backblaze report has lots of interesting stats. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q3-2016/

  11. And you should be moving to dockers instead of plugins for these apps.

     

    Why? Is the plugin system going away? Is there something wrong with these plugins? I'm perfectly happy using this lightweight piece of software to manage my Plex Server updates. Phaze's plugins work well and Phaze is very quick to resolve issues as they arise. For me it is the right tool for the job.

  12. There is a Plex Pass version of PMS that was released today. PMS 1.0.1

     

    There was uncertainty whether the updated plugin would work with Plex Pass. It does not appear to be detecting the new Plex Pass version of PMS. The plugin seemed to not complain about my credentials or anything at all really. There is nothing in the log of interest. Anyway, thanks for maintaining these plugins @Phaze.

     

    This is what I see on https://plex.tv download page.

    When I switched to the Plex Pass version this is what happened in the log. It appears to have reinstalled the Public version.

    My daughter noticed the default banner and asked for some MLP action. So yes this is now my current banner.

     

    Yeah, OK, we believe you..... lol

    It's tough to say no to a four year old.

  14. If your argument is:

     

    I already did, earlier:  Telnet works out-of-the-box.  No configuration needed.

     

    Then is the same not true for SSH? SSH works out of the box and no configuration is needed. Server keys are generated when you install the OS. If you don't care about Windows, that leaves OSX and Linux; both of which ship with SSH installed and configured by default. Thus you would need to do almost nothing to switch. The only configuration you might do is if you want to use Public key authentication or Host-based authentication. In fact you might even save yourself time as "ssh" is two letters shorter than "telnet." ;) SSH is pretty cool stuff.

     

    unRAID is the only UNIX/Linux/storage/network software I use that has telnetd enabled. Yes, telnetd is easily disabled but that is not the point. We are asking for sshd to be installed by default so we don't have to install it via plugin and is supported by LimeTech.
