  1. hehe indeed it is, I look forward to the next version of the GUI and hope it includes various fixes and improvements. I also look forward to getting the sleep and mail plugins back from SF stand alone versions hint hint especially the sleep plugin. Keep up the great work.
  2. LOL I have to wonder what some of you guys are looking at that requires you to be so protective / anal that you have a VM just for browsing. Jesus I wouldn't worry about big brother watching you browse for porn or great granny's recipe for spicy anal lube, I'd worry about the satellites up there reading your brain waves. Quick get them tin foil hats back on guys. Enough crap can we get back on topic please.
  3. I unplugged appears after a reboot, the Java one doesnt
  4. http://pluto/Utils/Syslog Not seeing the refresh rate issue here in either ff or chrome Do you mean the Log button on the menu bar, the System Log utility on the Utilities menu, or something else? Also what version of Safari are you using? System log Utilities menu, has a refresh rate of 1 sec by the looks of it. Safari - 6.0.5 There shouldn't be any refresh of that page at all... possible some other plugin is doing this? I am seeing the same thing on Google Chrome. I ran a quick sanity check, and launched IE (which I've never started in native mode, who knows what Windows is doing in the background?). Internet Explorer with no addons did the same thing.
  5. speeding-ant did mention that he would be making all the SF plugins non dependent on the core, I cant wait for this day as all I ever used when using SF for was the email, sleep and stats/space plugin's. Just have to wait for updates, the most important thing is unraids stable and functional and not some plugin. edit: Just wanted to say great job on the UI guys unraid looks sweet as, great work love the plugin interface. edit: Seem to lost the jre icons, any idea where I can find it or is it wait for updates

    Cant imagine any changes from rc16c surly if he want to get v5 stable and out of the way. Can only be a small number of bugs / annoyances left to fix?
  7. 2930266532 KB / 1024 / 41965 sec = 68.18 MB/s Hmm usually around the early 80MB/s What easiest way to convert sec in to hours and min?
  8. Little off topic, according to unMenu my parity check finished in 41965sec, since i stopped using SF how do i get / work out // convert to get the Duration: 9 hours, 14 minutes, 41 seconds. Average speed: 90.2 MB/sec format
  9. Must admit this inexpensive Netgear consumer switch has lasted me absolutely ages, got it when they first came out hehe, here's hoping the next one lasts just as long
  10. After much trial and error I think I may have solved my issue. It looks like it was the 5 port 10/100/1000 Netgear GS605v3 Switch, I pulled the power to it and reset it and then used Lan Speed Test to copy a 9GB test file to \\pluto\cache and it uploads at 80.173 MB/s and downloads at 103.037 MB/s. Teracopy uploads to the TV_Shows share at a constant 72MB/s (cache share) and to the protected array share at 24MB/s - 48MB/s sometimes a little slower but it builds back up to constant 48MB/s. First time I've know of a switch doing this but you learn something new everyday Got a new Netgear GS105 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch on route to replace the ageing GS605v3. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0000E5SEQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Will report back once the new switch is here and see if it makes a difference.
  11. What are you using to track the copy in the screenshots?
  12. I don't have a cross over cable and all the machines on the network are on a static IP addresses. Its just odd that I can copy from windows to windows at 72MB/s and read from the server at 72MB/s but when I copy to the server the speed crashes out even when I copy directly to the cache drive or a disk share. Shouldn't I be seeing a similar speed when copying directly to the cache drive? The server has a built in realtek nic could the problem lie there? Could changing the nic help, i can get the TP Link nic local to test. http://www.ebuyer.com/263123-tp-link-tg-3468-pcie-gigabit-network-card-tg-3468 http://www.ebuyer.com/235381-edimax-gigabit-pcie-network-card-en-9260tx-e
  13. Would windows be limiting / Throttling the LAN connection if I'm able to transfer between windows boxes at 72MB/s. The speed seems to crash out when transferring to the unRaid box, copying directly to the cache drive seems to peak out at 24MB/s and averages at 16MB/s, this is the same for user shares. Copying the same file from cache to the desktop sits at 72MB/s, a cut and past to the desktop from the server tops at 24MB/s. Is there an dummy's guide to performance tuning in unRAID
  14. Just tried transferring some files to array like before but this time with jumbo frames off on server and all other comps. This time I get a constant 16MB/s copying to the array. Any ideas what's causing the bottleneck and what I can do to find it?
  15. That by itself doesn't tell us much. You could have something miss-configured on the Win7 system; or it may be an actual problem with your UnRAID setup. If you copy from the Windows 7 machine to another PC on your network, what kind of speeds do you get? What do you need to know? /boot/config/network.cfg # Generated settings: USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=192.168.1.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.64 DHCP_KEEPRESOLV=no DNS_SERVER1=192.168.1.64 DNS_SERVER2= DNS_SERVER3= MTU=9000 My main windows machines has 9k Jumbo Frames enabled and so does the win7 based HTPC both are connected to the same switch, a 5 port 10/100/1000 Netgear GS605v3 Switch, all ports show green 1000Mbps. Copy file from (using Teracopy no test option on): Server > HTPC 1.45GB in 32 files each 48,829KB in size Teracopy completes in 00:00:39.920 37MB/s HTPC > Server (TV User Share - Cache enabled) 1.45GB in 32 files each 48,829KB in size Teracopy completes in 00:01:17.64 19MB/s HTPC > Server (DVD Share - Non Cache Share ) 1.45GB in 32 files each 48,829KB in size Teracopy completes in 00:01:15.582 20MB/s HTPC > Main Win7 Machine: 1.45GB in 32 files each 48,829KB in size Teracopy completes in 00:00:25.84 59MB/s (Sits at constant 72MB/s) Main Win7 Machine > HTPC : 1.45GB in 32 files each 48,829KB in size Teracopy completes in 00:00:26.6 57MB/s (Sits at constant 72MB/s) The HTPC has a Crucial CT064M4SSD2 64GB M4 SSD in it as the main drive and the main Win7 box has a Segate ST3500418AS 7200 500GB drive in it. System log attached. Could it be an issue with the nic in the server as copying from windows box to windows box is fine? I would love a constant 72MB/s copying to server (cache enabled share). syslog-2013-07-26.txt
  16. Transfer's are coming from my windows 7 machine.
  17. Was browsing the wiki the other day and came across this article about cache drives and the speeds you should get with one installed. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Cache_disk Without a cache drive: unRAID 4.5.3 - average 20-30 MB/s, peak reported 40 MB/s* With a cache drive: unRAID 4.5.3 - average 50-60 MB/s, peak reported 101 MB/s* Copying direct to the disk shares I get 16-32 MB/s (0.99GB spread over 22 files 48,829KB each) I get peaks of 48MB/s on some disks, my average is about 24MB/s Copying straight to the cache drive I get 32-48MB/s with peaks of 72MB/s. To copy the above files teracopy tells me Completed in 00:00:30.315, 34MB/s Copying at 1.5GB mkv file to cache drive gives me 32MB/s. I'm running v5 rc16c but this shouldn't make a difference should it, all I ever seem to manage is 17-28 MB/s this is nothing compared to the stated 50-60 MB/s. Should I get better speeds then I stated or is that the best I can expect with my rig? Network is all cat 6 cabling and switch is gigabit. If I use the speed test in unMenu I get the following (cache is sdi): root@Pluto:~# hdparm -tT /dev/sdi /dev/sdi: Timing cached reads: 3502 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1751.38 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 292 MB in 3.02 seconds = 96.83 MB/sec SMART Data for the drive: root@Pluto:~# smartctl -a /dev/sdi smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [i686-linux-3.9.6p-unRAID] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-12 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: HP 250GB SATA disk VB0250EAVER Device Model: VB0250EAVER Serial Number: Z3TDEVME LU WWN Device Id: 5 000c50 04fb18941 Firmware Version: HPG9 User Capacity: 250,059,350,016 bytes [250 GB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 6 Local Time is: Thu Jul 25 18:21:26 2013 BST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

  18. That indeed is great news, I'm only really after mail, sleep, UPS Do you plan on adding more customization options to the mail plugin,
  19. Sorry, I meant don't. I've edited my post. Need more sleep hehe no worries had a quick try this morning before i went to work copied the files to the usual folder and I'm afraid to report that the icons didn't show up in the settings page on the stock UI Was worth a try thanks.
  20. Afraid that sounds well over my head any chance of a little how to?
  21. I think the drive is probably toast. 65535 is a special value. I don't think smart is responding with a literally accurate value here. you learn something new everyday, thanks for that I was talking the value at face value
