How exactly do you access this? I have CA installed but the only thing I see for new permissions is in tools-->UnRAID OS-->New Permissions EDIT: Did you mean the "Fix Common Problems" CA Plugin and the Extended Test?

Yeah, I don't disagree. I also need to get my VM configured to shutdown prior to the server shutdown. Thanks again.

Yep...that would be the problem! Nice catch. I can't even venture a guess as to when/how that hapepened! Nevermind the obvious cues from the dashboard (missing load info and 175.5 min of runtime!). Anyway, thanks for endulging my stupidity!

Nice idea...once I get the first apcupsd issue resolved I'll try adding this to the mix!

It's weird because my logs directory on the flash seems to have stopped saving logs to this location around early February. I don't remember configuring a different location for the log files? Is that even possible?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Hard to imagine the battery doesn't have enough juice for 30 seconds of runtime plus shutdown. One thing I've noticed that appears to prolong shutdown is the stopping of my Win 7 VM. Whenever I manually restart the server for updates, I make it a habit of shutting down the VM from within Windows (i.e. use shutdown command from within Windows). That seems to dramatically improve the total time to stop the array and shutdown the server. In either case though, we're talking about a min or two difference so 1-2 vs. 3-4 min total. I take it there's no way to confirm the server actually saw the loss of power before shutdown then? I was hoping a log file might still be available but I'm guessing this is a limitation of the log file running in RAM when the shutdown occurs? I'll try the procedure outlined above and report back later.

So I'm using a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD as a UPS for my UnRAID server. Lately, I've had two power failures that resulted in unclean shutdowns and a subsequent parity check upon reboot. I can't figure out how to see the syslog for before the shutdown occurred? Is this available somewhere as I checked my log folder on my flash drive and I don't see anything? My guess is the server shutdown immediately on power loss but no way to confirm without manually pulling the plug to the UPS (which I'd like to avoid if at all possible). After the first failure, I changed my UPS settings to initiate a powerdown after 30 seconds. Previously, I had it set to shutdown with 10% power remaining. The UPS is relatively new so it's not like the battery is bad. My dashboard shows the UPS is connected and I've attached a screenshot of my settings page. Feels like something isn't configured correctly? Any suggestions appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone was using multiple instances of Kodi/SPMC in their UnRAID setup with the Emby addon? I've got a couple Fire TV's with Emby app as well as Kodi and SPMC installed. Emby is working properly and syncing across all instances but the amount of memory each instance requires for Kodi/SPMC with the Emby addon is about 1.2GB. I'm not sure why my Kodi and SPMC local databases explode with the Emby addon? I thought all the artwork and stuff was pulling from my Emby server running on my cache drive? On a slightly related note, is there a way to share one database of addons between Kodi and SPMC? I know they have separate install locations (.kodi vs .spmc) but wondered if it was possible? I may just switch back over entirely to Kodi with v17 but it takes a while to build my database with each install unless I get the first problem resolved. Thanks. Looks like the answer to part 2 of my post is no: https://github.com/koying/SPMC/issues/355

Probably not the best place to ask this but I was wondering if anyone was using multiple instances of Kodi/SPMC in their UnRAID setup? I've got a couple Fire TV's and the database for Kodi with addons like Emby is taking up a lot of memory on each device. What's the best way for me to share these library's across multiple devices? I'm not sure why my Kodi and SPMC databases explode with the Emby addon? I thought all the artwork and stuff was pulling from my Emby Docker db on my cache drive? Similarly, is there a way to share one database between Kodi and SPMC? I know they have separate install locations (.kodi vs .spmc) but wondered if it was possible. I may switch back over entirely to Kodi with v17 but it takes a while to build my database with each install. Thanks.

in short its always better to try and isolate permission resets to a specific docker container if possible. Understood. Thanks for the detail. Ok, so this probably isn't a DelugeVPN issue but hoping you might be able to help. I've discovered that my /downloads directory ownership and permissions is getting changed from nobody:users drwxrwxrwx to root:root rwxr-xr-x. Based on the time stamp of the changed directory and once a week occurrence, it appears to be linked to when CA Backup/Restore is backing up my appdata folder. I have CA Backup/Restore set to exclude my /downloads directory. Any thoughts on why this might be happening? It's definitely a new issue within past couple weeks and I haven't changed any configuration files (just updating plugins and dockers). The backup module does not touch or modify any permissions on the source at all (and the destination permissions will always match the source) (I actually just tested this after I saw your cross-post) Best guess is that Deluge itself is modifying the permissions at its startup. Set the backup under advanced settings to NOT stop any of the installed containers and you'll probably see that no permissions were changed. Ok, thanks for the feedback. I'll make those changes and report back if I still have an issue.

Sorry for the cross-post but I was having an issue with Deluge and NZBget being able to write files to my download directory and posted in the DelugeVPN docker thread. As I was typing that post, I realized the permissions change was very close to the same time that CA Backup/Restore does my weekly Appdata Backup. Is there any reason directory permissions might be changed during a Backup? In this case, the directory in question is on the exclude list.

I wouldn't recommend running the new permissions tool against your cache drive, instead delete the file /config/perms.txt and restart the docker container, it will be faster and safer. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Thanks for info. In my particular case, I think the permissions issue was with the directory where I store my downloads and that same directory is also shared with NZBgetVPN on my cache drive in my appdata folder. I'm not sure how it happened, but I think the permissions of this directory were changed and neither docker could write to it. Rather than doing a chmod at the command line, I just ran the script - not knowing this could be unsafe. Would you mind expanding on this part? Because I use a Windows VM and sometimes create directories in Windows Explorer and transfer files with Windows, I notice the permissions are not always correct and in the past I've run the new permissions tool to fix it. Thanks.

Been using this docker with PIA for quite a while with no issue. All of the sudden my torrents won't connect to peers and Deluge reports negative peer numbers?! Even when it shows I'm connected to seeders, the ratio available is less than 1?? Not really sure where to start troublehsooting since Deluge appears to be connecting fine. Attached is a screenshot of a torrent status where it shows seed connections, negative peers and ratio less than 1. EDIT: Seems to have been a permissions error with my download directory. I ran the permissions script on my cache drive and it seems to have resolved the issue.

Is this being discussed anywhere? I've considered doing this but not sure I understand everything that's involved. I've seen a few tutorials for setting up on ubuntu servers but nothing for unRAID. "A couple of dockers and the nerd tools plugin" sounds easy enough!

I just saw the 6TB's from Wal-Mart were down to $159. Not sure if deal is still on. I picked up one about a week ago to replace my single parity drive.

Visa Checkout promo at BB expired already.

yeah, I was surprised to see there was a container update since I was on the latest stable release already?!

Ok, that was my next thing to try. However, I noticed the container id was a lot longer than what I was trying to use to kill the container so when I used the full id, it finally worked!

I've tried the stop, kill and remove container commands from command line to no avail. Stop and kill just hang and remove says it removed image. Force update fails as shown in attached jpeg from previous post.

So I had a notification for an update but the update failed and now I think the docker service thinks the emby docker is running but it doesn't seem to be since the stop and kill commands (even from command line) do nothing. Now the webui shows the docker is running but doesn't know which version (see attached). I probably need to reboot the server but I'm in the middle of a preclear and would like to get my emby server running again before the long weekend is over (and my preclear)!

I fixed my post above. Just reporting back on my findings related to delayed reboots and shutdowns.

What information would be useful? Mine seems to hang since I no longer have Powerdown. Still on 6.2.2 while I wait for a parity rebuild and check to finish. Are any logs/diagnostics preserved now on reboot? First I'd upgrade to 6.2.4. Then try a shutdown and see if it works okay => if it hangs, it's now supposed to generate a log file that will provide some feedback for LimeTech to review so Tom can continue to improve the shutdown process. LimeTech's goal has been to eliminate the need for the PowerDown plugin ... and dlandon is no longer supporting versions beyond 6.2 You may want to read this thread: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=51983.90 Just wanted to report back that shutting down my Windows 7 VM prior to executing a shutdown (or reboot) dramatically reduces the time it takes. I'll start doing this as best practice.

I should qualify my original post by saying the Powerdown plugin was active on my server during these delayed shutdowns. I was aware about some issues with this plugin and 6.2 but I wasn't entirely sure if we should keep using it or not? Based on what I read in the link you provided, should I remove it now in 6.2.4 or should I wait for 6.3 final (no plan to use an rc or beta at this point)?
