Fibre or twinax? I use the same ones, have the exact same issues, pulling out the twinax a few times will force it to connect, the freenas server i have uses fibre and never has a connection issue. Tim

you may need to ifdown and ifup the interface after that echo. #setup bonding for layer2+3 #ifconfig bond0 down;echo 'layer2+3' >/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/xmit_hash_policy;ifconfig bond0 up

You can just leave it, when you reboot it should reset itself back to defaults since. Tim

You dont have to add each and every one of the mount points into rsyncd.conf, it will also stop you from a double copy if you plan on dumping everything into the same directory. Tim

Also if you want "local" mounts enable NFS sharing then do something like this: All on source: mkdir /new_server mount IP_OF_OLD_SERVER:/PATH_TO_SHARE /new_server (mount 192.168.1.100:/mnt/user/Movies /new_server) rsync -av --progress /mnt/user/Movies /new_server Never use samba/smb to transfer linux to linux, is slow and shitty protocol. You will have to remount the share after each transfer. Tim

I think KISS is your best bet here. Pre-make all the shares so both sides have the exact same share names. Then just rsync src to dest like this: rsync -av --progress /mnt/user/Movies root@IP:/mnt/user/Movies (throw in the weaker encryption from earlier post) The benefit to that is you can launch multiple rsyncs, all copying to their final resting spot. Id recommend doing a permission change at the very end to make sure all is well on the unraid server with perms go. Tim

Why wouldn't you pre-create the shares and go share to share copy? Also, did you setup the rsync server on the destination side? If not, you should use rsync over SSH with minimal encryption something like: rsync -av --progress -e "ssh -T -c arcfour -o Compression=no -x" <source_dir> user@<source>:<dest_dir> Or create NFS mounts and do rsync "local" to avoid any encryption.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014QCETU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 That will be my 3rd one so far i've deployed in my home, replacing the buggy qlogic cards I have. Tim

Need 24 drives and on a budget, got the sas expander for $100 and a p410 (for flashing only) for $15. 10GB Nic was $29, I was looking at other sas expanders but $300+ is too rich for my blood. Tim

Understood, I thought I read that you couldn't rearrange the drives in DP. Everything should be rolling in by Friday, can't wait to get rid of this lag. Tim

3 HBAs total, removing two of them, one 4X goes to expander, one 16X for 10GB NIC. Tim

Howdy Yall, Time to make way for 10gb networking in my last server. To free up a PCI slot I decided to replace two HBA's with a HP SAS expander. Im assuming the drive order might be messed up after I online the SAS card, is this true? Is a new config a good option or remove the 2nd parity drive before adding the sas card? Tim

Please tell me how you make out, Unraid working with anything but a worm type workload has been terrible experience. I love unraid for what it is, block storage is something unraid simply is not good at. I use ghetto-vcb for vm backups from my ESX server and noticed the sleep function of the disks played havoc with ESX with no running workload attached and the dreaded nfs stale file handle caused issues too. If your using unraid as a backup device i would recommend only having the NFS mount at time of backup, not using a cache disk your backup times will be pretty significant. Tim

NFSv4 does not work at all, I recompiled the kernel to include NFSv4 support and found it slower then v3. Tim

Path should be IP:/mnt/user/ESX_Datastore using a linux box with showmount -e $IP should show you all the exports if they have read access acl. example: root@raspberry:/orion# showmount -e 192.168.1.99 Export list for 192.168.1.99: /mnt/user/vmbackup * Tim

Yep, used to own a dell powerconnect, never again. Tim This is my switch's configuration, it seems to be purely port-based multi-link. I can't post the output because as soon as i click Apply it just goes down and I can't navigate the webgui. To bring it back up I had to wipe the USB drive and reinstall everything. Yeah... after a while I'm starting to realize that that think is a piece of junk... It claims a lot but in reality it sucks.

Your switch does not support dynamic LACP, it is another broken dell implementation. Id recommend the Cisco SG-200 series if you want a mondernish switch that supports most things. Ive upgraded to D-Link 10GB in the house because LACP is rather crappy. http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/p/19169209/19297716 Static LAG is your only option, if you loose one link your hosed.

Take some screenshots of the switch lacp config, there are different hashs for loadbalancing with multi-links, mac, mac + ip, ip+port, etc etc. Im interested to see what your min/max links are for this new lag, im assuming you set min/max at 4. When you switch the config on, can you look at your servers output of /proc/net/bonding/bond0 and post the output, interested to see if the heartbeat is making it on to your nics. Tim I'm a total noob, how do I post the syslog output? On the switch I can create up to 6 groups(I'm using 2, 1 for unRAID and 2 for my Mac) of up to 8 ports(I'm using 2 ports for the Mac and 4 for unRAID). The load balancing I'm using is 802.3ad which is supported by the switch.

can you post some syslog output when the changes goes active? What is your Min/Max members per lacp group? what other groups are configured for lacp? what is the load balancing algo for your lacp setup?

Howdy, Wondering if iscsi support is baked into KVM with 6.1/6.2 release? I would like to run iscsi targets for my KVM guests rather then running them over NFS setup like i have now. It seems i can define storage pools in KVM, however the package support for iscsi stopped on 13.x slackware branch. Tim

Please make 8021q a module in the current unraid kernel to support vlan configurations via the cli. Tim
