The amount of posts in this thread is huge, sorry if this has been asked already. Now that there is an internal boot option, is it safe to assume the 'Backup the flash drive?' option works with a boot drive in the same fashion as the flash drive? Thanks

Hi folks, I was going to change over to an internal boot and change my licensing to tpm instead of the flash drive I currently have running. I haven't seen anything regarding minimum requirements for the drives. I have 6 open mb sata ports so I was going to buy two cheapo ssd drives, as my m2 slots are already being used for my cache drive. I'd mirror these two new drives. Are there any requirements or suggestions for drives? I was gonna grab a few of these type of things off of amazon - https://www.amazon.ca/Patriot-Burst-Elite-120GB-Solid/dp/B08LKMQ9T4 ... size and speed don't matter right? What file system would make sense for the mirrored boot drive in this case? Thanks.

Leaving this here for someone else..... found it. If you are running VMs .. or even have the VM service running, it uses port 53 for some reason. Unfortunately I had to disable the VM service completely in the settings menu to resolve this issue. Unfortunately pihole/adguard home using port 53 by default won't work with VMs enabled in any way.

Hi, I'm trying to install adguard home and something is already using port 53. It's not a docker allocation though, is there a way I can view the ports used in Unraid as a whole? I don't see 53 being used in any settings anywhere either, so I'm a bit confused. I tried looking around the tools menu but see nothing with lists tcp/udp ports used on the system, thanks in advance!

Works like a charm, just updated and mounted without issue to a smb share on a Truenas box, thank you.

omg thank god. This has been driving me nuts all morning... and ofc I just took too long to come here and check.

Hi folks, I know there are a few options for this. I'm not a script genius by any stretch, so I thought I'd ask for options. I have a remote smb share mounted in unraid I'd like to make a backup nightly to. The drive in my array is zfs (snapshot of my containers) and I'd like to back it up on my Truenas box (again, mounted smb share). A snapshot to the other machine isn't necessary, just a nightly copy. Bonus points if I can somehow keep incrementals for a week or 2 .. no idea. App/plugin/script? Not a clue... open to anything, thanks. I don't even know if I need to remotely mount a smb share since it's accessible by ip anyways? Who knows... (not me)

I'm changing hba's since the adaptec unit needs around 200cfm airflow at all times. My server chasis, although it has a bunch of fans doesn't get this forced air flow. I've got a small fan strapped to the heatsink, but it's not enough for the whole card. That high pitched alarm goes off quite a lot, not cool. I'm under the impression that the lsi runs cooler... and has a bigger heatsink (pic on ebay ... fingers crossed). Has anyone else made the hba card switch? The LSI is already in IT mode, so I'm pretty sure this is just a plug/play change when it comes to Unraid, just making sure, thanks.

Hi everyone, I woke up this morning to a nice red error message from Unraid stating I had a hardware error of some kind. I'm no server guru, however I know enough to be able to attach the diagnostics file as instructed ... I don't see any drive errors or anything in the Unraid gui, so the issue is currently unknown for me. I tried to read the diag files, but I don't know what I'm looking for. If anyone can provide guidance based on this info, that'd be awesome, thanks.

Let me start by saying I don't have experience with zfs, so I'm looking for some info. As you can see from the attachment, I have 1 large xfs data array. I have 2 new disks in it, which allows me to empty 2 others at the same time if needed using Unbalance. I'm wondering if it's worth changing to zfs for it's added resiliency benefits. Speed is not a huge concern for me, although I don't want to slow down to a crawl. My questions are: 1) If I make 1 large zfs pool, can I add drives as I go along like I currently can with the xfs setup? 2) I'm assuming I'd have to do 1 or 2 drives at a time and spend forever copying files over should I change formats? 3) Are parity drives needed anymore, or can I recover the 32tb used by parity currently? I may be way off base and have no issues leaving things the way they are, but zfs is the buzzword for the last while, it seems worth checking out now. I apologise in advance if this post makes no sense, I don't know what I don't know ... thanks.

Can confirm, something is wrong. I'm online in the forums status, however the unraid server has an API error. Restarting the unraid-api is a no-go.

How does this make Plex go down? The only outage I'm seeing on my side is the My Servers plugin. Everything else seems to still be working fine.

Must be an outage, same here.

My driver installed again no problems after I uninstalled/reinstalled the plugin, thanks for the fix! I don't see the video card section under the unraid dashboard anymore however, is this by design? Thanks.

Same here, fingers crossed. I get a mouseover message 'Current Server - Not connected to Mothership'
