Hi all. I just noticed this, so I am not sure how long it's been going on with my server. But nothing is writing to my cache drive anymore. When I copy files over to the array, they do not first get copied onto the cache drive. None of my settings have changed. Is this a bug in 6.2.1?

Never thought of that. That's a good point that the array would have to be online in order to work! Seems like VMs would be very useful. MIght be about time for a hardware upgrade!

Did you remote desktop into mythtv and set it up first? I think I ran across this problem too when I did mine. When you remote in and set it up, it should be fine if I am remembering correction. You want to remote to: your ip:3389 if you used the default device mappings.

I think this has amazing potential. However, I am running into a problem. When I try to access my server at https://myid.tonidoid.com it just times out. Is there some setting that I am missing?

Just FYI to everyone. I installed my old disk as a cache drive and it is migrating all of the files to the array!

I'm currently considering two options. 1. Let the 8tb drive rebuild itself (another 20 hours). Then take the old disk install it on a windows pc and copy all of the contents. Or 2. Wait until the rebuild and place it back in the array and see if I can copy the contents without mounting it to the array. What would happen if I stopped the rebuild on the 8tb drive and just put the 2tb drive back in there? What do you think?

Hi all. I just replaced a 2tb drive with an 8. precleared it, assigned it to the 2tb drive slot, started rebuild, then realized I didn't format it. So I formatted and then started the rebuild. It's still rebuilding, but I think I lost all of the info from that drive. Now of course I want to put that old drive back in to restore that data. I'd like to make sure I'm doing that correctly. Any advice? Thank you!

I'm inclined to think something is loose or defective. Cable my gut tells me. If be interested to see your unRAID diagnostics though. Please post them ... Tools>Diagnostics Remember to hit the privatise button if you want to remove potentially sensitive data from the logs. I reseated the cables and so far so good! Port 5 was the cache drive so that could explain the mover issues. Thank you!

Good idea. I can check the cables. Here is the diagnostics for your reference. Thank you!!! tower-diagnostics-20160912-0827.zip

Hi all. I have a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P that is approximately 5 years old. Lately I will periodically get an error that it can not detect port 5 in the bios during the reboot. It will time out and it will then not boot UnRaid. If I reboot enough time, it will then boot and everything will run normally. The last few months I've noticed that if I copy a lot of data to the cache drive, Unraid will lock up during the night about the time it would be running the moving script. This would rarely happen, but I am now questioning whether the two instances are related? I am wondering if this motherboard could be going bad or could it be another issue? I tried the longshot of replacing the battery on the motherboard, but to no avail. The error has persisted. Thank You!

I agree. I may put a VM off for awhile until I can do a hardware upgrade. I think it would overly stress my hardware running all of my current dockers plus a VM. Thanks for all the input!

You bring up a good point. I do have a SSD cache drive currently. I currently have a 3 core AMD processor and 8GB Ram. I recently upgraded the ram because my dockers were using up to 80% of my former 4GB ram. Should I probably look into a hardware upgrade if I went to a VM?

Amazing. I will give this some serious thought.

That doesn't seem like too much of a downside as long as there isn't any vital data on it. It's something to think about. Thank you! Is the speed something comparable to having it installed locally?

Hi all. I am basically asking what the titles says. I am currently configuring a HTPC with windows 10 and Kodi using a SSD. I will be running emulators on it as well. Now that I am about done I am reading about virtual machines with Unraid and wondering if I should have went that route? I've read plenty of positives about virtual machines. Are there any negatives or should I get started on building a VM too .

After multiple restarts of the server, it finally completed the scan. Hopefully it will be ok in the future??

The initial scan seems to hang after awhile. I restart the server and it will go another few percent and then stall again. Does it normally take a long time? It's been ~4 hours now and is only 45% with multiple restarts. I don't think I have a very large library compared to most on here. Edit: Upon further study, I removed my Movies folder from the scan and all TV shows and Music scanned in perfectly. However, the scan stalls when trying to scan in my movies.

I've located the file that is gradually growing. It is in folder Var->log->mysql It is a mariadb-bin file and I can almost watch it grow in size. Will this gradually level out? Should I do a volume mapping to my cache? Is this even supposed to be happening? Thank you. You can try this: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40937.msg475225#msg475225 Thank you for this. However, I don't think it is a log file issue. That command issued a return of just 2.8MB. I think this might be more of an issue with the mythtv database growing constantly.

I have been having a problem with mythtv slowly eating up my docker space. I can delete the docker and container, reinstall and be fine, but I'd like to find out the root of the problem. My volume mappings include: /home/mythtv -> /mnt/cache/appdata/mythtv/home /db -> /mnt/cache/appdata/mythtv/db /var/lib/mythtv -> /mnt/cache/appdata/mythtv/data As a side note, I noticed that I slowly run out of space whether I have watched tv or not. Is there a directory that is creating some sort of log file? Could it be the guide filling it up? Is there a directory I'm missing? I couldn't seem to find an answer in my search. Thank You!

I have heard positive things about the foscams. Thank you for the replies. I hope to get more into this in the new year and can hopefully contribute more to what type of camera works best and setup.

Sure does! Thanks. I will look into that!

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone was using Unraid for a home security camera system? If so, what program are you using and what type of cameras? I am looking forward to seeing if this is another way that I can utilize Unraid. Thank You.

Thank you. I have 4GB of memory. I got anxious and rebooted my server before seeing this reply. I have preclear running currently. I will run diagnostics and post if this happens again.

Hi all. I just installed one of those new samsung 8tb disk in my system. I am currently using the preclear plugin. It has been running fine for about 24 hours, but now my system in unresponsive. I really hate to reboot the server and start the preclear over again. Is there any other option? Thank You. ps-By unresposive, I mean that I can't access the webgui nor can I access any shares from any of my pcs. Everything just times out.
