Get faster drives... 😎

Thats why there are feature requests to allow some VMs to always run, so one VM could have its video output going and functioning as a main desktop even while the unraid array is stopped for maintenance being done. However that becomes complicated really fast.

Posting your diagnostics might help others to help you investigate.

My system runs on 128 GB for the past couple years with no issues. So your issue is likely mismatched memory that Squid is saying.

Still wrong. You should have 2 paths. One for /config and one for /media.

No. unRaid replaces the entire 'md' device driver.

Do these have the reset issue where you might need to do something special for older connectors after shucking them?

Can you ask a meeseeks to improve the forum search functionality?

Also, these cmds are more meaningful for BTRfs since its special... btrfs fi us /mnt/cache btrfs fi show /mnt/cache btrfs filesystem df /mnt/cache ....... Also, I think Johnnie will have you run some sort of cmd that looks like the following, I dint know their exactness but this is something to give you a heads up. Caveat: dont run these specific examples that I typed out but wait for the exact cmds from Johnnie. btrfs balance start -m /mnt/cache Btrfs balance start -dusage=5 /mnt/cache

What version? There's other manual commands you need to run on older unraids for BTRfs since it really wasn't ready for general use. Newer kernals with newer BTRfs may have addressed that issue. Then again, it might be some other BTRfs issue. I'm sure @johnnie.black will drop his knowledge on the issue(s) when he can.

The only usable option I have seen is to entirely ignore or block users with animated avatars, because of the forum's lack of display avatar options.

The one you named (squid) are not paid by the company. Only the following 4 @limetech, @jonp @eschultz and @SpencerJ as listed on this page: https://unraid.net/about Everyone else is just a member of the community.

I mentioned this in the previous thread about this very topic ... It's close to well over a year, and then it was only because of a power outage that was nearly an entire day. One of the earlier thread that even had an actual poll ...

It all depends ... if all clients need the server to transcode or if no clients need the server to transcode. Its far easier to support better clients that do not need server-side transcoding.

As shown earlier to someone else, you need to click on a few more places. In particular on the right hand side of your core 2/6, and core 1/5 and core 3/7 columns.

Yes it is a company, but none of the posts in this thread are from LimeTech.

Nothing is definitive and we dont work for the company and things could possibly change in the future, but here is how things have historically been treated from my personal experience: Your license is good for life for the version you purchased. Same license from 4.x has been valid for version 5.x upgrades. Same license from 4.x/5.x has been valid for version 6.x upgrades. There have been huge changes from version 4.x to version 6.x during its 10+ year span. The OS went through multitude of feature enhancements, from only supporting 32bit to supporting 64bit, from supporting ide to supporting sata, to supporting drives over 2tb, to supporting even higher number of data drives, to supporting dual parity, to supporting cache drive pools, to supporting virtual machines, to supporting device pass-through, to supporting docker containers, to supporting newer cpus, to supporting more cpu cores, to supporting more memory. Thats is why most feel comfortable in saying you will likely have the license for life and will be able to upgrade to the next version.

Have you tried NzbGet instead of SabNZBd to see what speeds that gets?

Latest versions have Trials you can use for a small time, and when you're satisfied it works you can buy a license. Pricing details here: https://unraid.net/pricing The cost of even the Basic model (6 drives for $60) amortizes out for under $6.67 a year for your 9 years of existing use and will decrease even further as the years go by. I find this software well worth the 2 licenses for Pro Tier (2 * $130 today) even though I only have 1 active server with 6 devices (1 parity, 3 data, 1 cache) now.

Depends on what you mean by "heavy loads", are all of your drives spinning up / spun up and being used like they are for parity checks?

At least you have solid tastes in the user name...

For others reading along that may not realize what the OP does ... writes to the parity protected SSD will still be limited to the speed of the physical spinner parity drive(s). Reads will be as fast.

Is there any way of setting the default power mode of the video card? It's fundamentally broken and the fault of the video card if it doesn't boot into an idle mode by default (as tested by booting into your PC BIOS). This is only something Nvidia and the video card manufacturer can fix through changing settings in the card's BIOS.

Not experienced anything remotely like that. My server only ever reboots for OS upgrades, typically going for 180+ days. I'm still running on 6.5.3, so uptime would have been since June 2018 if it weren't for power outage of 1 hour or longer. root@UNRAID:~# uptime 19:50:16 up 178 days, 5:14, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.08, 0.03

Let me ask a question first … What do you have in your AppData directory that needs to be parity protected? The only items I have there are docker configurations which are backed up using the plugin "CA Backup AppData".
