  1. Ive read the permissions wiki, along with searched high and low throughout these forums - but cannot figure out what seems to be a very simple issue. I have a share, and have set the perms to Secure, with a user named gman that has read/write permission to the share. (as well as root) When I map to the share from windows (login is gman, with exact password as on unraid box), the share shows up fine, but I cannot change any of the files or folders. I get "You require permission from Unix User\nobody to make changes to this folder" I know that when I upgraded to 5.0 beta12a, we had to run the new permissions which set everything at nobody/users. But I didnt really understand why, even though I read the document that was recomended to read but I guess didnt fully get it. Do I need to run a chown gman on /mnt/user/xxx ? I even tried to set the share as PUBLIC and nothing changes, after a complete reboot of both systems. The only way I am able to make any kind of changes to the share is if I log off my windows box and log back in with 'root' being the user. (I created one just to see if it would work) I am sure this is a very common issue - so I hope the answer/solution is an easy one. Attached is my syslog syslog.zip
  2. Not to hijack this thread, but I installed card yesterday, and have very similar results to thica as far as parity check speeds. I am on 5.12a - no issues. I immediately noticed speed jump. But I am not using 3tb drives, only 1.5.
  3. Will do. Got em all hooked up and booted right in, identified each drive correctly, already noticed a big increase in parity check speeds. I currently have 6 drives on the card, and parity and cache on the mobo.
  4. Thank you for prompt reply. My mobo actually has 8 slots, and the reason for this purchase was merely for expandability, and hopefully some speed gains, as I get close to filling my system up with drives. I saw the card on sale locally so I just got it. I suppose I can try a few different configs using the mobo entirely, the card entirely, or a combo of both. All my drives are 1.5 tb , including parity, with the exception of the cache drive.
  5. Ignorant question - the controller is for 8 drives - if I only have 8 drives, would you put all 8 on the card, or split them and have some directly on the mobo? Or does it matter?
  6. After rebooting, some drives started showing up as "UNFORMATED" so I I took a wild guess and figured it might have to do with memory. I then stopped the array, powered off, replaced memory with with some shiny new sticks, and errors have gone away.
  7. I'm running 4.7 and am getting these errors in my syslog. I cant seem to make it out, and dont know where to start troubleshooting. I believe it states that it is drive-related but dont understand the exact details of the problem. Help would be appreciated. Attached is my most current syslog in full. syslog-2011-03-15.txt
  8. Im sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I didnt see your reply. Yes, under the current version, split 3 will keep all folders beneath Alien1 together on the same disk. ( 0=alldata, 1=media, 2=films, and 3= Alien1) all together in the same disk.
  9. I agree completely, thanks for your thoughts. I've had some time to do a lot of reading the past few days and there have been some great posts touching the subject. Just wanted to get a fresh look at it, as a new build approaches. Ive seen that quite a few experienced users do not use User Shares - for varying reasons, some even customizing their samba configs to fit their needs. But with the numerous updates that have taken place with Unraid, and the multitude of features that are now more readily available to the end-user (compared to just a few years ago), I wanted to lay everything out and see what works best in certain scenarios compared to others. Quite frankly, when I started with unraid a couple of years ago, I just jumped right in because we needed a solution fast, and just kind of went with it. Thanks for the comments.
  10. With a split level of 3, and the following structure: Alldata/Media/Films/Alien1/Alien1.avi , then the files under the Alien 1 folder will reside in the same disk. Alien 1 and Alien2 folders will be allocated based on the method you chose. You wrote some other folders there - pictures.etc - are those all under Alldata? Why not set up different shares for those?
  11. I just wanted to know if there are any performance gains/losses that can be attributed to , holding everything else equal, the number of User shares that are created vs the number of split levels. In other words, if I just had two user shares - Movies and Pictures - but 5 different category trees below, would that result in better/worse or zero difference in terms of performance/access/disk usage/activity,etc than if i had 10 user shares that were only 1 or 2 layers deep? Obviously, this is all dependent on how split is assigned in each scenario..Im just trying to get my hands around this and wondering what others have in place. I have almost overgrown my current setup and am starting to look at a second build and wanted to get some fresh input. I have a several TBs of photos (by trade) and along with our personal digital media collection, Gbs are quickly turning into TBs... I would imagine it would also depend on whether the data needs to be accessible fairly quickly (ie movies) as opposed to archived photographs. Just lookin for some experienced thoughts and guidance. Thanks.
  12. Happy to report that following the guide on the wiki and this tool http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1367.msg9671#msg9671, all is back to normal. Thank you for the help !
  13. Thank you. Will report back if this solves it, so as to close the thread
  14. Oh so I dont need to replace it with a new drive? Thats good news. I will try that. Thank you. BTW, didnt even think of it - but how will I know if all is ok with the drive? I can run a reiserf check on the actual thumb drive itself? Or simply wait to see if an error comes up afterwards?
  15. Ok, it turns out there is a problem with my flash drive, I believe, but wanted to confirm with the experts online. I attached my most recent syslog and as you will see, it reports that there is a prob with sdj, which is my flash. I also ran into another post where the OP had the same issue with his flash drive. After replacing it , it seemed to have solved the issue. As a precaution, I ran the reiserfs check on all drives last night and today, and no errors were found. When I tried to install some packages this afternoon, I got that 'read-only' file system about not being able to write to the flash drive. So am I correct in assuming that all I need to do is replace the thumb drive ? syslog-2011-02-17.txt
  16. I just wanted to chime in - maybe this helps you, maybe not. I have a perm mount on my ubuntu/debian server from which I download files/torrents to a mounted unraid share. took me a while to get it set, but its been working great for quite some time now. maybe you can apply some of the commands from below to get you to where you want to be.... so this is basically how I created a permanent mount on my ubuntu box: 1. Edit your nsswitch.conf. Look for the line that says "hosts: files dns... and add wins to the line right before dns. so it will look like this: hosts: files wins dns mdns 4, etc. 2 install winbind with apt-get winbind and then reboot. 3 presuming you want this to be a permanent mount, create a password file that details your unraid username/pw: sudo nano /root/.smbcredentials contents of the file should be: username=redrum password=murder (no spaces) lock the permissions of the file: sudo chmod 700 /root/.smbcredentials 4. now edit your fstab for the permanent mount sudo nano /etc/fstab add the following entry at the bottom //TOWER(netbiosname or ip address)/share //ubuntubox/sharename cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 NOTE: as you can see, this will mount the unraid share as R/W. if you dont want that, just change it to guest...or i guess you could just add a user in unraid and refer to that username. so my line looks like this (i created a user share just for this, and have put firewall restrictions on my pfsense router to tighten security) //tower/newmedia/ //gb/downloads cifs credentials=/root/.config/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,noserverino,gid=1000,uid=1000,nounix,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 NOTE: I had to add the noserverino as well as my uid and gid....i was told that was hit or miss....just find out what your userid is in ubuntu and add it accordingly. 5. after saving your fstab file, just enter : sudo mount -a if you dont get an error, it worked. go ahead and check the share, or put a test file on it, and it should be good to go. 6. then edit your /etc/rc.local to mount the smbfs/cifs when you log in (make sure the permissions on your /etc/rc.local will allow users to execute it: mount /ubuntubox/sharename exit 0 hope that helps.
  17. Thanks for the link...I missed that. I will hijack that thread and see if any resolutions came about.
  18. I just recently installed this 3ware card that I got as a gift last year. http://www.lsi.com/channel/products/raid_controllers/sata_sas/3ware_9690sa4i/index.html Drives show up fine, parity ran fine. But I seem to be getting this recurring syslog error: Apr 30 20:31:06 gfmedia kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: ERROR: (0x03:0x0101): Invalid command opcode:opcode=0x85. Is this something I should worry about? Running 4.5.3 ; 8TB, 7 drives + cache ; C2SEA mobo ; 4g ddr3 ram ; DualCore 2ghz Intel. Currently all 6 sata slots are connected to the motherboard, and I have a Esata card on the 4x lane where I have the cache drive. Thanks
  19. Returned without any issues. Going to look around for the aforementioned card. Appreciate the quick response and the help, fellas - brit and rajahal.
  20. Would this one be OK to get? Definitely cheaper. http://www.centralcomputers.com/commerce/ccp74443--supermicro-aoc-saslp-mv8-8-port-sas-sata-add-on--aoc-saslp-mv8-consupaocs1r.htm
  21. Goodness, thank god I asked. The store has a rep for being a little on the high side, but not as much as you imply. Ok, I will for sure do that. Thanks for the heads up - very much appreciated. I actually no clue that this was on the high side. But thats good to know. So, SuperMicro 8-drive 4 lane. Good performance, I take it. Thanks again.
  22. Hoping someone can please assist fairly quickly, so I can return this card. As a gift, I got this Highpoint controller 2640 x1 sas/sata controller (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0289733) Updated bios, loaded a few new drives, and cant get unraid to recognize any one of them. Not showing up in unmenu or anywhere else. I tried setting the drives up as on JBOD and as inidividual disks, but to no avail. Is this because it has SAS capability? Ive been reading on here that SAS is not supported yet. FWIW, I only have Sata drives connected, though I do have a SAS drive as well if indeed it is supported. Should I get this card instead? Essentially the same card, but only for Sata - the Highpoint 2300 (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0240014) Will need to return this today if I am going to do it at all. Hopefully, one of the many experienced gurus out there will chime in.... Thanks
