  1. I want to start Chia Plotting/farming but i cant debate if i should have the main farm on unRAID, Ubuntu VM, or a Windows. I prefer as much GUI as possible since I dont have any CLI experience and I dont want to mess something up.
  2. I had 6 drives in my array without a parity drive for over 2 months. The speed difference is over 2x without parity enabled. When I used Krusader to copy large movie files (>20gb) from one drive to another, I used to average about 150 MB/s, but now with a single parity drive my transfer speed is about 55 MB/s. I wonder if its possible to turn off Parity when you want to and then enable it later to run in the background and sync everything. Anyone know if the speed is any better with 2 parity drives?
  3. My friend wants to buy my unRAID setup including the License/USB. I will be giving him everything except the HDD drives. I want to create a fresh new install of unRAID but keep all my existing Data that's on the array. I would prefer to transfer all the VM, Docker, Drives, Cache, Shares etc to the new setup so its like I never changed. Keeping the data on my drives is more important than the VM/Docker stuff. I will have a new license and flash drive for the install. Basically a new install of unRAID with old data. Is there a way to accomplish this?
  4. I just bought two Western Digital Easystore 12Tb HDD. I haven't taken them out of the external enclosure yet because I am out of SATA ports on my motherboard. I have them plugged into the back of my motherboard as regular USB 3.0 devices. Previously, I have successfully precleared drives with them directly plugged into the SATA port and a USB 3.0 port so I know this is something that can be done. I currently have one drive part of the array as a USB device and everything has been working fine. I am still on the trial version of unRAID 6.8.3. I'm running Preclear Disk version 2021.01.03, Unassigned Devices version 2021.01.16b, Unassigned Devices Plus version 2021.01.24. I load up the Preclear plugin and on the rightmost column Preclear status for both drives shows up as "Disk mounted" so I click "Start Multiple Sessions." The first issue is that the box that says "Select Disks: Preclears Disks" is a gray font and if I click on the box for the drop down menu, then the 2 drives are also gray. I tried this with only one disk plugged in and it's the same gray font but now with only one drive showing. I can't recall exactly but I think on my previous runs, they were a black font. I then click "START" button which turn it into 3 white dots that light up gradually like a loading logo. That button stays like that for about 30mins without anything happening or showing me the progress. I have tried this with both gfjardim - 1.0.20 script and Joe L. - 1.20 script with the same results.
  5. Thanks, I'll try that out today. Do you know why this would work?
  6. I can't test it with a wire since the access point only has one available ethernet port which is currently being used by the server
  7. My router is a Netgear mesh Wi-Fi 6. I have a pc with wifi 6 and its 4 ft from the router. When I try to transfer large movie folders from the server or to the server, it only copies at about 20MB/s so about 160 Mbps which is understandable since I'm not using the cache feature. My server is connected to the network via Gigabit ethernet, and my PC is only using Wi-Fi. BUT my issue is when I load something over the network from my server in Windows file explorer, every action seems to take a few secs. Say I want to open a certain file on the server? I click on the folder, 3 sec to open it and then 0.5 to 1 sec delay to load everything. Basically navigating and exploring through the shares/array is a a drag. My alternative is krusader but that doesn't feel intuitive and lacks some of the features File Explorer has. I also have trouble deleting files from file explorer from time to time. I will get a message that says, "You need permission to perform this action." Thank in advance.
  8. is there a progress bar or something or an eta that will show you the update?
