  1. This just struck me: Do you even have any Apple computers on your network? (Do you even need Avahi?) If not, then just a single line in your "go" script will fix all this for you: for i in /etc/rc.d/rc.avahi* ;do :>$i ;done I don't have any mac's on my network either what are the advantages of doing this, is it worth doing?
  2. Hi SlrG/ Anyone Else Finally got around to thinking about trying this had a few other issues to sort out before i touched the server. Am i correct in thinking the following command will do what i want? /boot/s3sleep/s3_sleep -a -c -F -S -h 6 -h 7 -h 8 -h 9 -h 10 -h 11 -h 13 -h 14 -h 15 -h 16 -h 17 -h 18 -h 19 -h 20 -h 21 -h 22 -h 23 -m 5 -C 1 I want to sleep the server between the hours of 00:00 - 06:00 ignore the cache drive and and wait for 5 mins of array inactivity before sleeping. The -F to force Gigiabit speeds i wasn't sure about and does the -S enable sleep or sleep the server as soon as its executed. If i put that in my go file it should be fine, correct?
  3. Doesn't look like it, me thinks this gonna be a long long slow process of updates if any Really waiting for the sleep and mail plugins
  4. Hi speeding_ant Any news on when the Sleep and emails plugins are going to get converted for used with the new GUI?
  5. Hi Ran your script and it produced the values below. I decided to go with the Best Bang for the Buck values and haven't been disappointed. I just watched a 720p stream with XBMC via SMB and have a parity check running also (just rebuilt a disk and wanted to run a check), to top it off the mover kicked in whilst i was watching and there was buffering for a few seconds but all carried on as normal. Parity check speed is currently at 29.6MB/s I was not able to do this before and just wanted to say thanks. Note: The results listed below are with me using a WD 3TB Green as parity I've just upgraded it to a 3TB Toshiba 7200rpm so will need to rerun script to see if the values change. Tunables Report from unRAID Tunables Tester v2.2 by Pauven NOTE: Use the smallest set of values that produce good results. Larger values increase server memory use, and may cause stability issues with unRAID, especially if you have any add-ons or plug-ins installed.

This is -4MB less than your current utilization of 39MB. NOTE: Adding additional drives will increase memory consumption. In unRAID, go to Settings > Disk Settings to set your chosen parameter values.
  6. hi speeding_ant Any news on the code update to the sleep and email plugins from SF so the no longer rely on SF core. just after the sleep plugin mainly.
  7. When your copying to the array your copying to the disk and the parity info is getting written also to the parity drive so your getting 2 writes. 40mb/s to the array is normal, I get 32-48mb/s to the array and 70-80 to the cache.
  8. No worries just remember when your done with a screen session type exit to close that session or your end up with loads of open sessions
  9. your attached to screen on 21603.pts-0.Server (Attached) now use Ctrl + A n = to get to the next session
  10. screen -r pid screen -r 21603 screen -r 27289 screen -r 27271 One of them should be the one your after, if there not just type exit to close out of them and detach. Some screen commands Ctrl + A + c = To open a New Windows Ctrl + A + n = next window (if you have multiple windows running) Ctrl + A + 0…9 = go to window number x where it should come with 0 to 9. Ctrl + A + d = detach from a window. Say, if you want to close your session and return later. Ctrl + d = detach and clear the screen session, To re-attach to a screen, you may need to check the number of screen is running. screen -ls Mainly use Ctrl + A + c to create another instance of screen so you can run multiple pre clears and Ctrl + A + d to detach your current session and then screen -r to reconnect when you return later.
  11. I was curious about this also, how do we know there's an update to the gui without checking the forum everyday lol.
  12. On all my drives i used the -A option i believe its used if need and not it not, but your best bet is wait for someone more experienced to chime in, still new to this. Regarding the 3 passes, I always do 3 no matter the size of the drive 500GB to 3TB as once it passes these 3 passes i trust the drive. It gives me piece of mind, but its up to you at the end of the day.
  13. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Configuration_Tutorial#Preclearing_With_Screen
  14. Are you pre-clearing with screen, If not i advise you to do so, details are on the wiki. When you pre-clear with screen you able to disconnect and reconnect to the session as and when ever you like to check on progress, if done with putty when you close the putty window the pre-clear stops.
  15. Decide to check on the drives in my server to see what the platter densities were, was quite surprised, all the drives were old apart from the 3TB and the 2TB Toshiba. Gives me an idea of what ones to replace if i want 1TB / Platter.
  16. I certainly would ... at least until 1.25 or 1.5 TB platter drives come out There's speculation -- but not confirmed -- that the 5TB WD Reds coming out in a few months may be 4 1.25TB platters ... but they also may simply be 5 platter drives using 1TB platters. Thanks for the feedback, cant really afford REDS but that's one of the things i love about Unraid, I can use anything could stretch to 1 maybe 2 of the Toshiba (Hitachi) got 3 slots left to fill
  17. I brought a Toshiba 2TB DT Series Internal Hard Drive, seemed a nice price. http://www.ebuyer.com/461602-toshiba-2tb-dt-series-internal-hard-drive-pa4292e-1hl0 In the server it shows up as a Hitachi HDS5C3020BLE630 and after a bit of googling it turns out its a Toshiba DT01ABA200 and according to the site linked it has 1TB Platters. I will probably get a few more now as have had zero issues with this one and replace my older 1TB Thanks for the link to that blog its a great resource, ill check the rest of my drives when i get home now. Should i be aiming for 1TB platters on all my drives if i can?
  18. Where would you look to find out which of the current drives about have the 1TB platters, is there a wiki or a site somewhere?
  19. locate32 point it to the mapped drives / usershares/ disk shares update the database and away you go.
  20. I think this begs the question of exactly how involved speeding_ant is in the new webGUI? If heavily involved, he should continue to work to advance it. If less involved, or limited by lime tech in terms of creativity or innovation, then I would love to see the added features of SF grafted on to the stock webGUI, which is the part speeding_ant could focus on. Sounds good to me, was what I was saying / thinking you used more words lol
  21. ROFL, its been stable for months and months and months and months and ..... funny how one little word can affect people's perceptions.
  22. A vote to drop and focus on stock gui . be nice if you could make the sleep and email plugins work with stock though.
  23. Thanks for pointing out this great piece of software I been looking for a way to hash all my files and easily update the hash list when new files are added. I didn't like the way it put a .hash file in of my folders so I edited the defaults in checksum.ini in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\corz\checksum so that it created one file in the root of the drive I also changed the default from MD5 to SHA1. I take it if I delete something out of the directory and it flags the files as missing I cant just update I have to create a new .hash file? It asks me if I want to synchronise as it finds an existing .hash there which is cool when I add to a directory / drive. Currently playing with this on a few test folders at the moment. I was able to create a SHA1 hash list of what was on a drive with hashdeep and was able to check/audit against it but couldn't figure out how to get it to show what was missing when i removed a few test files, it showed files that weren't in the list. Also couldn't figure out how to add to a hash list, only create. I'm not code / scrip savy at all really so couldn't create a scrip to do it for me. Shame unraid doesn't have a system or plugin in place like this to catch bit rot, oh well can dream, one day maybe lol.
  24. I knew someone would ask... I had to go look it up myself. I only chmod once in a blue moon. Luckily when I copy files onto my flash over the network they seem to already have the correct permissions, so that probably holds true for most unRAID users. I updated the instructions to clarify. Hehe I'm a total Linux noob but i have learnt so much playing with unraid and the command line, thanks for the update.
  25. noob question on installation step 4 you say Make sure the file is executable, use chmod to change permissions if necessary how does one do this, may be worth putting in this the instructions?
