Hello I did a migration to a new usb drive last night. So I did a flash backup and wrote it to my new usb drive with the creator tool. All went fine and my server boots up well. When I checked the flash drive file structure on my server I noticed that every file has a copy with ._ als prefix like „._go“. So I went to delete all these files because I used macOS and I thought mac created the copies. After deleting all copeies recursively with find my server complained the usb drive is corrupt. A reboot works fine but after some time the message appears again. I guess it was a bad idea just to delete the files? Dumb me I did not another backup before deleting but I added a new cache pool to my config. Can I fix the drive somehow without flashing again the old backup? If not, what happens with my new cache pool I added after the last flash backup? Could I use the old flash backup and reconfigure the cache pool? How do I get rid of the ._ files after that?

Ich habe mit das Board nun ebenfalls gekauft und mangels verfügbarer 9300 ebenfalls einen 9100 eingesetzt. Die 12W bekomme ich ebenso mit 1xM.2 SSD, 2x32GB RAM, aktiver CPU-Kühler, 1xUSB für Debian live, ebenfalls 2 Nics disabled. Was mich noch wundert ist, wie ich prüfen kann ob ECC nun wirklich funktioniert. >>dmidecode -t memory gibt mir leider keinen Output der darauf schliessen lässt das ECC erkannt und aktiv ist. Hast du das hinbekommen?

May it be possible to trigger CA auto update plugin while docker containers are stopped? This would save a second downtime

Is autostart set for all containers on the docker tab in unraid?

Did you try that? This sound pretty awesome.

I have a custom Backup script running that stops all docker containers before backing up appdata. May it be possible to trigger the auto update from this script right before I start docker again?

Ich finde den Wert schon echt gut. Ist IPMI bereits an? Welchen passiven kühler nutzt du für den i3 und warum hast du den 9100 statt 9300 gewählt?

Konntest du bereits weitere power tests machen? Ich liebäugel auch sehr mit dem Board.

Thanks, this helps me a lot. I am running a test now with a new script: backup_jobs=( # source # destination "/mnt/cache/appdata" "/mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/appdata" "/boot" "/mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/flash" ) The "keep backup"-Settings in the script I set all to 1 and create symlinks at the end of the script: # Get last appdata backup lastAppdataBackup=$(ls -t /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/appdata/ | head -n 1) echo "Last appdata backup: $lastAppdataBackup" # Get last flash backup lastFlashBackup=$(ls -t /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/flash/ | head -n 1) echo "Last flash backup: $lastFlashBackup" # create symlink to last appdata backup ln -sfn /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/appdata/$lastAppdataBackup /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/appdata/last echo "Symlink to last appdata backup created" # create symlink to last flash backup ln -sfn /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/flash/$lastFlashBackup /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/flash/last echo "Symlink to last flash backup created" /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/appdata/last and /mnt/user/Backups/Unraid/flash/last are the sources I will use then for my main Backup script to the external drive as well as for the duplicati Backup. When I overthought this right it might work this way without any redundancy. Let's see

I guess I have to think a bit about the best process. If I do a backup first to a local share and use this as source I might have doubled incremental backups because the script as well as the next one copying to the external disk is doing incrementals as well. Also the foldername (date) changes every time and then duplicati might do a full backup every time. So not that ideal.... Not sure how to get around this. If it would be possible to copy the appdata to a second destination while the main script is running it may be the cleanest solution.

The target of the main script is an external drive which gets unmounted when the script is done. I do a duplicati backup to a cloud storage as well so I used CA appdata Backuo in the past to do a backup to an unraid share and upload from there to the cloud. But this means a second (even longer) downtime as well. This is why it would be great to have a second copy to my share for the upload via duplicati.

Thanks, its working fine now. Donation incoming 🥳 May it be possible to copy the appdata folder to a second target in the same run? This would prevent a second downtime from a second script.

Thanks for your awesome script @mgutt which I am currently testing. Just running my first backup. Since I added "/mnt/user/appdata" as source path I thought my docker downtime would be only a few seconds, but it took as long as all appdata files were copied. Do I have to use "/mnt/cache/appdata" instead of "/mnt/user/appdata" to make the snapshot feature work? What happens when I run the script again at the same day after it finished the first run? Thank you very much!!

Not sure if its because of the update but its partial solved now. When I detach the device it spins down after about 30 min. I can go with this

Sure, I appreciate your support. Whats interesting is is that the only time a spin down attempt is visible in the logs when I clicked the green circle the first time ever: Jan 7 16:06:42 Tower emhttpd: WD_Elements_25A3_324C47365244344B-0:0 (sdh) 512 39063584768 Jan 7 16:06:42 Tower emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdh Jan 7 16:17:55 Tower emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdh Jan 7 16:18:03 Tower emhttpd: sdspin /dev/sdh down: 1 It did not spin down but the attempt is visible. After that I clicked the green circle in the following troubleshooting process for sure another 5-10 times. But non of those attempts is visible in the logs. tower-diagnostics-20230108-1046.zip

Thanks for your help. Clicking the green button does not spin down the drive. When I attach the drive to my Mac the drive spins down after very short time when it is not mounted.

Was ist denn der Unterschied zum „normalen“ Mini-ITX?

Hello together, Maybe someone can help me out. I have a WD Elements Desktop (20TB) Drive attached via USB to my Server do do Backups. But the Drive does not spin down, no matter what I do. I tried to unmount -> still spinning I tried to detach -> still spinning I tried to unbind the usb port -> still spinning What else can I do? I read in some Threads that I may not be able to spin down the drive manually (hdparm gives me an error though). But nevertheless the drive should go to sleep due to inactivity anyway. Thanks for any advice.

War nicht gerade der i3 der bei dem ECC möglich ist? Hat sich das in der 12. und 13 gen geändert?

Mag sein dass das jetzt ne doofe Frage ist: Ich bin (noch) nicht so tief drin in der Board Thematik aber wenn das c246n-wu2 nur knapp 5W zieht, was macht dann hier den Unterschied zum 3-fachen? Nur wegen IPMI? Gibt es schon Infos wann das Board zu kaufen sein wird? Wie ist eure Erfahrung mit Oculink? In der Liste der unterstützen CPUs führt Asrock aktuell noch keine iX-13… werden sie die eventuell erst später supporten? Gepaart mit einem i3 sollte der Stromverbrauch auch ganz sexy sein, oder? Bin auf jeden Fall sehr gespannt was du berichten wirst.

Danke für diese tolle Sammlung an Boards. Ist dieser Thread nur für gebrauchte/ausverkaufte Boards gedacht? Wäre eigentlich toll die Liste generell zu führen, also auch für verfügbare (klar das schwankt natürlich sehr) Boards, die sehr sparsam sind.

Als WU4 Alternative käme noch das https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X11SCH-F in Frage. Leider jedoch kann ich nichts zum Strombedarf sagen. Habe dazu auch nicht wirklich was gefunden. Ansonsten finde ich das Board schon sehr hübsch.

Ok, lets see. I ordered a new PSU as well. It should arrive today. Hopefully this helps.

Is there any possibility to get this board in Germany/Switzerland? I am looking for it for a while now but it seems Gigabyte does not produce it anymore? It would be the perfect fit to upgrade my current setup.

Hallo zusammen ich möchte gerne meinen Server upgraden und bin auf der Suche nach Alternativen zum Gigabyte C246M-WU4 (nicht lieferbar) auf das Supermicro X11SCH-F gestossen. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X11SCH-F Das Board hat alles was ich mir wünsche (8xSATA, 2xM2, IPMI, ECC) und dennoch zögere ich etwas, da man sehr wenig über dieses Board liest. Sowohl was reviews angeht findet man nichts, als auch hier im Forum wird es nur mal ganz knapp erwähnt. Kann mir jemand etwas zu dem Board im Vergleich zum C246M-WU4 sagen? Klar das Supermicro ist recht teuer, aber übersehe ich sonst etwas das gegen dieses Board spricht? LG Kwicks
