I was wondering on some guidance on overall drive capacity and what is a safe percentage? I have been for years moving stuff around to keep each drive at the same basically capacity level and I realized I should just take the drive out of rotation once its hit a limit, might be easier than moving data back and forth. If this isn't a good idea then I wont but if it is, whats a good percentage? I have 4TB drives (end goal, 3 are upgrade-able still from 2TBs); 8 of them at the moment and about 800GB free. Would performance be effected or anything else if I left say 10GB free on each drive? Should it be more? Is less fine? I just know if I keep a drive that low in rotation i run into space issues since dockers don't understand to not use that drive.

I just noticed (it could have been for awhile though) that I am seeing this in my unRAID logs, not sure if this is docker related, box related or what, any thoughts?

Any special permissions needed to be set? I can't modify the .sh file to add my settings. The docker is shutdown. Thank you for the docker though, can't wait to give it a try! Thanks, fixed now. Update the docker, and delete the .sh file. It will then be recreated with the right permissions. thanks, looked good! Will this grab automatic updates? I know its still in the works so wasn't sure if you are autograbbing updates or you will need to do releases each time.

this would be a great docker for Plex people: ConvertToMKV https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/233133/convert2mkv-now-supporting-mp4-h264-and-x265-hevc-output-updated-13-10-16/p1 https://gitlab.com/ThatGuy/convert2mkv/tree/master How To: https://gitlab.com/ThatGuy/convert2mkv/wikis/howto

thanks.

Sorry, so right now I have a drive missing (it failed) and as I am waiting for the new drive to arrive (which is today but will still need preclear etc etc) and bring my parity back to a healthy state, so if I lose another drive my parity is broke correct? Under that assumption, I currently have a second drive throwing errors, which I suspect to be a bad seating in my NAS or loose connection. What I was mainly wondering is if I put my drive 6 into my drive 3 bay, will unRAID still see it as drive 6 or will unRAID think its drive 3 and start wigging out? Parity Drive 1 is fine Drive 1 of 7 is fine Drive 2 of 7 is fine Drive 3 of 7 is dead and has been removed - waiting on replacement to arrive Drive 4 of 7 is fine Drive 5 of 7 is fine Drive 6 of 7 is throwing errors currently, wondering if its a bad connection Drive 7 of 7 is fine That make any more sense?

I had a drive failing, drive 3 (if its showing missing in the logs). It was since shipped to get replaced. I have a hard drive coming in Friday so of course I made the terrible decision of leaving myself out of parity until my hard drive arrives. Now my disk 6 is freaking out. Could this be a dying drive or could it just be a poor connection? It was a drive I removed and put back in while looking for my drive 3. It is also in my only questionable bay (I had issues long ago with it). So my question is, since I am parity broken at the moment and will need to pre-clear a 4TB drive (2-3 days) to get back up and running is it ok for me to move bays around without causing an issue? aka, can I move my disk 6 into my currently missing disk 3 without it wiping my parity or does unRAID store what ports and whatnot the drives are on? my log is to big to post (400k)... not sure best way to post it. here it is on google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7baFOqwwO97QVpRbl9XYlNrQVU EDIT: One other tidbit, my attach usb drives plugin/docker also starts showing it as "mountable" once it starts erroring out (which is leading me to the bad connection).

Works perfectly for me too. Just restarted the docker as usual, no special action required. started working now for me, maybe something was down this AM.

Am I to assume that since plex redid there site today and released version 1.0.0 we probably need an updated docker? Warning: wildcards not supported in HTTP. The name is too long, 506 chars total.

We need more information. What version of unRAID? What does it mean to mount with no permissions? I assume you are mounting the drives NTFS? So Windows can browse to the drive, but not write to it? Check the UD log. It sounds like the drives are mounting read only. The log will give more information about the drives mounting. Sometimes NTFS drives can't be mounted read/write and UD will go ahead and mount them read only so they can at lease be read. The log will give more information. oddly enough its working now. Not sure why but its working. Could this have been the read/write issue you mentioned? Where some times it connects and sometimes it doesnt? I just switched to b23 of 6.2. I was on on b21 the last time it was working, if that matters at all. But again, its working now. Weirdly enough I would have said it was just Dolphin acting up, because reinstalling dolphin is the only thing I did to "fix" it, however windows couldn't write to it either.

i think i am missing a step, but for some reason all my mounted usb drives mount without any permissions, so dolphin (docker) or windows explorer can not write to the drives. This worked for for me a few weeks ago and not its not, not really sure what could be causing it. SMB is set to NO. I tried YES as well. I also tried having unassigned create the NFTS partition as well.

do you think the first errors could also be because of this as well? I started an RMA on the drive.

If you want a UI like windows explorer get the Dolphin docker.

based on my own debugging its having trouble with 2 drives (ATA7 and ATA1)... although I am unsure at the moment if its a parity drive ATA1 or not (I have two drives with the same name), not sure of the drive location of my parity though and my ui is locked up. is there a way I can tell if its parity or not? - Not my parity drive, found it in the var log. Also, do you think this is more bad cable? bad port on mobo? not enough power? or just a drive slowly dying? I recently swapped out my mobo for a new one, including an i7 and more ram. Honestly, didn't really pay attention enough prior to know if this was happening before or not (I definitely would have sporadic freezes though). These issues seem to ONLY happen when I try doing something via my windows PC to the machine though. Ive gone 30+ days without issue if I am not messing around with writing to it from a desktop app. CP/Sonarr run without issue for weeks. Since I have a total of 12 SATA ports (4 SATA II and 8 SATA III) I can play around with the ports to check that. Not really sure how to check a possible power issue. I did not swap out my power supply, its a 520w, and I assumed it was enough for 9 drives (1 being SSD).

my logs are attached, I was running a program on my windows box called Ember Media Manager (it was placing jpg files on my server automatically) and my system locked up. Saw this in the log and now I can't connect. Any thoughts?

You haven't hit a RAM issue yet? I have 16GB in my server but CrashPlan kept hitting a RAM crash issue on me when I was trying to backup to the cloud 10TB. At the time I only had 8GB but still.

thanks, good to know. Its definitely an old drive (at least 10 years), but its still SATA. Its never been a problem or had issues but has never in my recollection of v4, 5 or 6 been able to scan. Good to know though.

Do some drives just not support SMART statuses? My Drive 1 has never worked ever, it always just shows as unscanned (yellow). Its been working without an issue for 4 years though, so figured I would just check to see if there could be a specific reason some drives can't be scanned?

based on my searches it seems to be some 4.x unmenu stuff for notification scripts.

So to confirm (since now I just got confused (never open a thread that doesn't affect you)), if I want the below: Movies (Share name) --Antman (2015) ----Antman (2015).mkv ------Extras (3) --------actor.jpg and I want all my individual movie folders to be on a specific disk I would want Split Level 2 or Split Level 1. I assume Split Level 1.

I would recommend not splitting your music on more than one disk. It gets annoying with pauses when it has to spin up a new disk to get to the next track of a playlist, just my 2 cents.

The first line was used to auto install things from the unMenu PKG manager. Wasn't sure about the unraid_notify but it has a lot of matches when searching. See search tips in my sig. Unless you depend on something from unMenu you don't need either of these lines. thanks, good to know about the first one, I had no idea what the heck it was. I don't think I ever used unMenu at all, but I did originally install it back when 5.0 was in early beta (when I joined unRAID). I Will search more about unraid_notify.

so oddly enough 3rd reboot was the charm... haha. I can now write to it. The syslogs showed nothing that I noticed. Since you haven't posted diagnostics not much we can add. The "3rd reboot was the charm" sounds similar to voodoo programming though. the voodoo got it running though. My guess is something was left undone prior to rebooting (after format). By me trying to copy to it it left data corrupted or in a fuzzy state. After the reboot it might have stated the same. Honestly not sure, the machine cleanly rebooted all 3 times, and on the third time it worked fine.
