You can but, in my case at least, that created issues with Gmail having already marked the messages as read because I was sending them to myself and they did not show up in my inbox. I had to use the + hack to modify the alias ([email protected]) and them create a rule to ensure they did not bypass the inbox or arrive as already read. Although they still showed as From: me in the display. It was just easier to create a second gmail account with a name that was easily identified as being a notification from my unraid server.

Old thread I know, but thought I would respond that what the OP is trying to do is technically possible. I'm looking to do something similar and found a way, but still testing to see if there are any downsides. I have reasons that I need to keep my mp3 and flac files separate, but I don't want users have to navigate down separate trees to see albums by the same artist. Following Spaceinvader One's video How to setup a root share in unRAID, 1 share to rule them all! 2 Minute Tips Ep 02, I was able to use that infomation to solve this problem. Here is what I did: 1. Create a share called "Music" and set to one drive (disk1) 2. In that share, create at least one folder. I use folders with single letters and then put artists under those, e.g. "A\ABBA", or "B\Brahms". So, I just created the folder "A" 3. Edit the share and set it to a different drive (disk2) 4. Open the share and create a different folder, e.g. "B" 5. Edit the share and set it to both drives and make it read only. 6. Under Settings\SMB I added the following under "Samba extra configuration" [MP3] path = /mnt/disk1/Music comment = browseable = no # Public public = yes writeable = yes vfs objects = [Flac] path = /mnt/disk2/Music comment = browseable = no # Public public = yes writeable = yes vfs objects = This creates two new shares that are hidden, but writable. User can go to the "Music" share to brows and play any music (MP3 or Flac). But, to write new files I would have to go to the MP3 or Flac shares created through the SMB settings.

Well, here's sort of an update. After doing other things I went back to the PC and realized I had left it running. I pressed the spacebar to make the monitor come out of sleep and lo and behold it completed the booting process! Well, it was in the non-GUI mode and I had never seen what it "should" look like. But, it was asking for login credentials. I entered in root to see that it appeared to be working. I then rebooted the PC and chose the GUI boot mode. I let it sit at loading bzroot for 10-15 minutes before deciding to reboot again in non-GUI mode. I again waited 10-15 minutes with it never passing loading bzroot. So, it seems it will progress past that point either sometimes or after a very long time. I am leaving it running right now. But, if it is going to take this long to boot on this machine, that will be a non starter.

Thank you both for the quick responses. Unless I am missing something, this board does not support UEFI. It's running an AMI BIOS. There are no options I can find to boot in Legacy or UEFI (or anything that would hint at such options). I have confirmed the folder in the flash drive is named "EFI-" (with the minus symbol) which should be correct for this board. But, just out of desperation, I removed it and tried again. Same results. Yes. I've tried multiple USB ports and avoided the USB3.0 ports due to documented incompatibilities with those (I even have USB3.0 support disabled) At this point, I think I'm going to try an older system I have lying around. It doesn't have as much memory, CPU or SATA ports as this one - but is probably sufficient for my needs. I would even consider building a new budget system, but I wouldn't want to run into similar problems where I can't even get it to boot.

I am trying to set up UnRAID for the first time and am running into many issues. After several hours of trying different USB keys and trying different BIOS configurations, I have finally gotten the system to load the boot menu. No matter whichj option I select, it take 30-60 seconds to get through loading bzimage (don't know if that is normal), but then it hangs on loading bzroot. I have even left it for a couple of hours without error or progress. I found a couple of very old posts here and here with a similar problem and have attempted solutions proposed therein. Still no luck. I am looking for any advice to resolve the problem and can provide any additional details needed. Versions attempted: 6.8.3 and 6.8.2 Things I have tried: Build the USB key both from the USB creator and manually (the manual method is the only one that worked to get to the boot menu) Removed everything not needed to boot: just the video card and one memory module. Tried different memory modules by themselves. Tried a different video card Changed speed of USB from "High Speed" to "Full Speed" Tried disabling or enabling Serial Port in BIOS Disabled unneeded BIOS features: Sound, Serial Port, 1394, etc. Changed syslinux.cfg to "append initrd=/bzroot acpi=off nolapic noapic" (added part in bold as recommended in one fo the above posts) The old post mentions getting a newer copy of syslinux.exe and running "syslinux -ma d:" on the USB key. I was able to get the most recent version (v6.03) of that file and dropped it onto the USB key, but, I'm not sure how to execute that command on the file. Although, even with just copying the file, the results are the same. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated! System Specs: Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth X58 CPU: Core i-7-950 Memory: 1 x 2BG G.SKILL DDR3 1600 (Have 6 modules, but only running one till I can get the system to boot) Video: EVGA GTX 770 (Yes overkill, but it was what is in the PC). Also tried an older 9600 GT. HDs: Disconnected all until I can get it to boot
