  1. "For best results, add the current url to the Unraid API extra origins field below then apply the change." It doesn't work for me. I hit the button "ADD CURRENT ORIGIN" then "APPLY" but nothing happens. The first time I tried it, it worked fine, but it somehow lost the setting and now I've did this like a dozen times but it won't work anymore. I had updated to latest version of hte pluging (2024.01.11.1434).
  2. File exists for me, but graph is missing. I'm on version 2.10.7.4.
  3. I would like to be able to see the graph with all the drives. I can view it right after benchmarking a drive but then I can't see it again without running a benchmark again. I think this is a bug.
  4. Strange... the problem went away after I rebooted the server. But I still downly like how the button is grayed-out when I open Dashboard locally, but fine when I use it remotely.
  5. It started working for me today, after I stopped trying for a few days. I have no idea why. I even eventually got the whole Remote Access to work. I suspect it had to do with using Incognito Chrome tabs but I might have did it on another computer in my LAN. Maybe something bad was cached in the browser, IDK. Using Incognito tabs on the same computer didn't work.
  6. I was following the instructions here: https://docs.unraid.net/connect/remote-access/ but don't see this box anymore: At various points prior to getting the "Always On - Manual Port Foward" mode working, this box was appearing and functioning both locally and remotely. (Although I couldn't actually connect remotely due to missing/incorrect port forwarding.)
  7. After a few hours of grief, I just got it working when in "Always On - Manual Port Forward" mode (tested with a remote machine). (Turned out, I had several layers of port-forwarding to set.) But when I switch it to "Dynamic - Manual Port Forward" it doesn't work anymore. The box for it in the Server Details doesn't appear anymore (it did previously when nothing was working), which means I can't hit the button for "Start Remote Access." I tried accessing Dashboard from a remote IP and it also doesn't appear. I suspect that because I spent so much time fiddling with it, I might have hit a bug somehow. What I'm seeing doesn't make sense. Related but separate issue, when the box did appear and I accessed it on my LAN, the button for "Start Remote Access" was grayed out but Remote Access was not enabled. However, it was possible to hit when I accessed it on a remote machine. It seems like this was intentionally programmed this way, but I don't like that behavior. I should be able to enable it while on my LAN too. Once enabled, I could disable it on my LAN or the remote machine. Not sure why I can only enable it remotely.
  8. I am hitting the same problem. I then tried using Chrome incognito tabs to do the whole process like another user recommended, but that didn't work either. How long is this "performing actions" supposed to take, cuz I leave it for 10 mins and it's still not done. I think it's frozen. I can open up the Connect Dashboard on another tab and I know the the server is connected to the internet (it can check for updates). I wish it would give a useful error message instead of spinning forever like this.
  9. I am hitting the same issue right now. But not having to do with udisk.
  10. Is there a way to view a log of past/dismissed notifications? If so, how?
  11. This is probably obvious but I'm asking to make sure... While booted, I plugged in some new drives to preclear. Now that it's done, is it okay to unplug them while still booted? They are not part of the array of course. The SATA ports are AHCI. (I have a limited number of plugs and want to plug in other new drives to preclear without doing a reboot.) And when I'm ready to use these precleared drives in the future, will Unraid automatically recognize the preclear signatures still? Also, would it work on a different Unraid server than the one used to do the preclear? I've read similar questions but found nothing matching exactly what I described. Btw, are there any utilities in Windows to do a preclear that would make such a compatible signature? I mean without having to VM an Unraid within Windows. (I did see this asked in another thread, but that was 5 years old.) -Doug
  12. While the server is up (for days), suddenly the cache drive disappears from the UI. But in the command line, the mount is still accessible, accessing files that I know are on the cache drive via SMB share still works, and running the Mover works fine. Both reads and writes to it seem to work fine. The drive does not appear in the Unassigned Devices section. I did not find anything relevant in the syslogs. I've seen this happen twice now. Rebooting the server fixes it but I'd like to prevent it from happening again. I suspect it may be happening when I update the Unassigned Devices plugin, but I can't be sure. Anyone else see this issue before? Any ideas what's going on here, or how to fix it?
  13. Sounds like something went wrong with the preclear. Clicking the X should have no impact. Once the preclear is done, even before the post-read, there would be a signature written to the drive that Unraid picks up on when you later add it to the array so that it doesn't have to clear it again. I've never heard of this happening.
  14. I am somewhat familiar with the Notify command, but how do I trigger one once Mover is done? Essentially, I'm looking for a way to have a script detect if the Mover is finished running. Or even better, have it trigger automatically each time. Speaking of which, wouldn't it have made sense for this feature to be built-in to Unraid?
  15. Oh, good to know. I struck-out the incorrect info from my reply. Thanks. I might actually use this 'feature' going forward then. I just have a slight preference to group up drives of the same capacity and manufacturer.
  16. The way the OP is worded makes me want to clarify that you can't have gaps in your array slot assignments. And yes, what you describe is considered "reordering" from the UnraidOS point of view (especially w.r.t. the parity2 calculation). And like others have said, the physical configuration doesn't matter at all -- you can change where a drive is physically mounted or which SATA/SAS cables/ports to use between boots and the OS will easily cope with it. (Although I wouldn't switch an array drive from being internally mounted to being in an external USB enclosure.) I used to be overly concerned with the ordering of the drives, but I eventually found that it's best to live with leaving the order alone. Although... I have requested a feature to be able to assign nicknames to the drives to make it easier to manage. But if you do choose to reorder, keep in mind that the 'included/excluded' drive selections in the shares do not automatically update to track the change -- you'll have to update those manually.
  17. There is no limit on number of cache pools. Personally, I would go for the Pro license for future expandability, but I kept adding drives every few days until I hit 18 devices before my first trial key even expired. Currently, there can only be one 'Array' pool. Which conventional wisdom suggests should be all your HDDs together. In your case, the four large drives would be the 'Array' and you can use two of the SSDs to make a single btrfs RAID1 cache pool -- making it so you have redundancy as soon as the data writes to your cache. You can use remaining drives to make more cache pools, or be dedicated for VMs. And if you have even more SSDs to spare you could put them on the data array (a bit of a waste putting SSDs on the array IMO). Four HDDs is really just a start since you'll probably want to have one parity drive, which takes up nearly 25% of it. This sort of RAID5-ish setup is better suited for having more drives.
  18. There seems to be a bug or oversight where hot-plugged drives do not give a preclear icon/option in the MAIN tab but it is still possible to run it from the TOOLS tab. (I tried obvious things like refreshing the page.) Please fix. Regarding the issue of this plugin disappearing after a reboot... After I updated to latest version to fix this very issue, I still needed to reinstall the plugin after a reboot -- at least twice more. (I should send you a diagnostics file again.)
  19. To be clear, if I have a trial key that had expired 15 days ago, does getting a 15-day extension make any difference?
  20. Does the 15-day extension start when the 30-day trial ends OR when you start the 15-day trial? (There's a subtle difference between the two.)
  21. This question has been asked here many times. It can be done on a separate machine.
  22. I was wrong earlier. But I meant not including parity, pool, boot, or unassigned. It is 28 right?
  23. Other than the obvious (not being able to start the array), what features are blocked out when the trial key expires? I'm thinking of having a second Unraid machine that is dedicated to only running preclears, and prefer not to have to purchase another license for it. How about VMs? Does that feature work with expired trial key? I'm guessing dockers wouldn't work because they always need the array? Or can dockers be run from an unassigned device? And could you still do a disk share (SMB) of an unassigned device? I searched around and was unable to figure this stuff out -- or at least not explicitly spelled out anywhere.
  24. Currently, if a share has "Included Disk(s)" or "Excluded Disk(s)" and you reorder the Disk slots, the selection for the shares are not updated accordingly. I sighted this in 6.9.0-beta30 but it's likely always been this way. What would be nice is if it did automatically update it for you. Even better is having a "reordering wizard", a "replace parity drive wizard", etc..
