RTX 5090 Support
It is always better to ask in the appropriate support thread (Nvidia Plugin, in this case). But the short answer is likely because the RTX 5090 is so recently released (3 months ago, Jan 2025). Support for new hardware takes time for it to be developed, tested and deployed as stable in the Linux world. Even more so for server code.

RAM Failure all but confirmed? Recently upgraded to Unraid 7.
It was worth a try. Zero cost to check that off the list as a suspect. Replacing DRAM would be my next step.

RAM Failure all but confirmed? Recently upgraded to Unraid 7.
I would first try removing the DRAM, check that all looks undamaged and clean (no huge dust bunnies). Reinstall the DRAM and run Memtest again. You wrote you were recently inside the server, perhaps you disturbed something.

You should post in the plugin app's support thread:

What CPU/MB combo (instead of old i3-3225 dual-core)?
It will run. But tasks like unpacking RAR and assembling NZB files from USENET use a great amount of CPU power. Managing multiple torrents does also. To a lesser extent, Immich and Nextcloud sometimes can be taxing, depending on what task it may be doing. You have 4 threads to work with. At least one will be for Unraid itself, to handle running the OS and all of the other things Unraid manages, such as the Docker system, disk access, network, etc. It would like to have more. Then the rest of your docker apps each will want a slice of the pie. If threads are not available, they will wait until one is. This is fine for most things, as they aren't time sensitive. But a media server needs a constant stream of input, else you get stuttering or worse. You can put a trailer hitch on a Japanese kei car. But you won't be able to pull very much around with it.

What CPU/MB combo (instead of old i3-3225 dual-core)?
Will it run? Probably. Unraid will run on nearly any x64 based system. Will you be happy with it running what you listed? I doubt it. A 12 year old 2c/4t Ivy Bridge CPU might be enough to handle basic NAS functions and stream Jellyfin content (direct or simple transcode) to one client on your LAN. But as you start adding a number of other apps, you will find it severely CPU limited. Benchmark scores for the i3-3225 are less than half that of a fairly current N100 and a quarter of a first gen Ryzen 1500X (which I built my first Unraid server 4 years ago). The N100 is about the minimum to go, if the goal is minimum power usage. Something equivalent to 1500X (4c/8t from circa 2017) would handle the list you posted.

Protect array until drive replacement
Parity is not a backup solution. You should always have the data you cannot afford to lose on a separate media, which can be restored/accessed in the case of system/disk failure. The first thing NOT to do is remove the failed disk or change your array configuration before you are ready to reconstruct the failed disk. (Assuming it has actually failed - I recommend attaching you diagnostics to your next post). Removing the disk will most likely complicate rebuilding the replacement drive. Currently it sound as your array is emulating the missing disk. This is using the info from your parity disk and the other disks on the array. Moving/copying data just puts more strain on your array disks, making it more likely you possibly have another issue/failure. If there is data that you can not afford to lose on the drive, and you don't have it backed up, you can add a disk via Unassigned Devices to copy the files you are concerned about.

[Plugin] Nvidia-Driver
That‘s true but first they will be legacy drivers, I can‘t imagine that they drop these card immedeately but I also have to say these cards are now really old. HEY! I'm really old, but I still get the job done. 😜

Can I extend the timeout from Plex?
@Terebi - Thanks for the update. I just referenced the two threads above as examples of what extent and methods people have tried to address drive spin up latency and its impact to media servers. The Mover Tuning plugin seems to have its issues as well lately, from what I see reading the forum.

Can I extend the timeout from Plex?
May depend on several factors: The Plex client; time it takes for a server to go from data request until drive is spun up and ready; the data path between the server and the Plex client. I knew exactly what @Lemming was referring to when I saw this post, as I had issues with it both on my Apple4K on my home LAN (video) as well as my iPhone on the road (music). I forget the exact message, as I have been using my media disks always spun up for a couple of years, and haven't seen it since. Vaguely remember it as an "Unexpected error..." message, then the client being ornery about recovering and retrying. Here are the two threads where folks were trying different things to circumvent the delay:
-
Can't access server after power outage
Since your shut down was due to a power outage, it is possible as neither Unraid nor the system as a whole shutdown cleanly.
-
Can't access server after power outage
Check if Fast Boot is set in BIOS. If so, turn it off.

Can I extend the timeout from Plex?
This is a question which is better asked in the Plex forums. It is an annoying problem, especially when other less tech savvy users are trying to play media. Unfortunately, adjusting the time out to wait for playback is done on the client side, not the server. So unless Plex codes in some sort of signal in their server code and code for all of their clients (and all of them are fully updated with this, no small feat) that passes a "wait a bit longer", there is little to fix this. If you search around this forum, some folks have tried scripts that put the beginning of every/most media in memory, or cache most recently added media to a faster SSD drive. I looked at this, but each has its drawbacks. What I do is keep all of my media on a couple of drives which never spin down. I set up share exclusions so only media goes to these drives and everything else only goes to the rest of the drives on my array. This also has its drawbacks, but I find it the lesser of evils.

PSA on SanDisk USBs
Unraid uses the GUID which is set in the flash drive by the manufacturer. This (I believe) is programed into the controller of the flash drive, and has been the standard business practice of the flash drive manufacturers for many years. This is not done in SSD/NVMe drives. There lately has been a rise in counterfeit flash drives hitting the market, where those making them don't care about standard business practices. Instead of giving each drive a unique GUID, many just end with 0000000000. So while your suggestion "solves your portability/transfer/deployment issue" it does nothing for the purpose of licensing the software. As Unraid is not freeware, using a SSD does not do anything in preventing piracy.

PSA on SanDisk USBs
Do you have a solution as to how Unraid would handle licensing? One that does not increase cost, allows for immediate deployment after purchase, allows for portability/transfer from one hardware configuration to another, and would not allow for increased piracy of the Unraid software?

How to Stress Test Physical Hardware Connections?
You can run preclear on multiple drives at the same time, if you have the resources available in your server. It takes ~25 hours to read every location in my 18TB drives. This is a function of the access time of your drive and system. There is no shortcut that will make this happen any faster.

How to Stress Test Physical Hardware Connections?
They're all connected (no pun intended). It is all a serial path - from CPU, through all of those devices, to the HDD. If it all works? Great. If it doesn't? The there's some troubleshooting to do.

How to Stress Test Physical Hardware Connections?
+1 to ServerPartsDeals. Every one of the spinners in my siggy came from them. Zero issues with any of the drives. There is no foolproof test. Write/read 100TB, and have it die 2TB later. I generally run a preclear on the drives when I receive them, as usually at least one drive ends up in a drawer of the server desk as a cold spare. I then feel better, more confident that it isn't DOA or has issues.

Frigate + OpenVINO - is there any guide?
I run Frigate in Docker (straight from Unraid CA) with a Coral USB. Simple to set up (it's right in the template) and has worked fine. I'm not sure why you need the DVR. Frigate is a NVR, capable of either recording segments of video triggered by detection or continuous video. ! have a pool with a single 6TB spinning HD. There are 4 cameras and the drive typically is 3.7TB full. I keep 21 days of full video and 90 days of motion events.

Docker icon missing.
Link is 404. Maybe it is a temporary issue. You need to reach out to the project owner, or substitute a different icon image into your docker template.

Can I boot UnRaid off a partition on nvme?
I have one of these in each of my servers. I find using the cable allows my to secure the flash wherever it is best out of the way inside my case. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015F6QXKO

[Plugin] Appdata.Backup
25 hours??? Something seems off, unless you are a professional photog with dozens of TB of RAW photos on your server. I have just a basic Immich install. My appdata folder for Immich is 5.5GB and backs up and verified in just over 1 minute.

Is running plex docker network as HOST or BRIDGE?
According to Wikipedia: With this many users, it isn't difficult to believe that many are just people who load Plex on their PC at home, with default configuration, with Port 32400 open to the Internet world.
