I'm still using unRaid 4.7 (if it aint broke, don't fix it). After you have the .ko file, I have this in my go script to install truecrypt... cp -rv /boot/truecrypt/sbin/dmsetup /sbin/dmsetup cp -rv /boot/truecrypt/usr-bin/truecrypt /usr/bin/truecrypt cp -v /boot/truecrypt/drivers/dm-mod.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32.9-unRAID/kernel/drivers/md depmod -a modprobe dm-mod To mount a drive (mine are formatted NTFS so I can easily use in a windows machine)... /usr/bin/truecrypt -k "" --protect-hidden=no -m nokernelcrypto --filesystem=ntfs-3g -p "$TCPASS" /dev/$DRIVE /mnt/$MOUNT_POINT $TCPASS = truecrypt password $DRIVE = device drive. $MOUNT_POINT = mount point

No, I have not tried to get this working on 5.0. Here are the directions I used to get TC working in unRaid 4.7 (I used Ubuntu 9.10) Get Linux kernel from Kernel.org for same version as unRaid wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.31.6.tar.gz unzip/tar the kernel and copy it to Ubuntu tar xzf filename.tar.gz - OR - gzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar xf - copy /usr/src/linux/.config from unRaid to root of linux source (might need to do "ls -a" to see all the files as files with a "." are hidden) In a terminal window of Ubuntu type: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev make menuconfig - Scroll down and select Device Drivers - Scroll down to Multiple device Driver Support (LVM) - Select Device Mapper Support and type "M" (for module) Escape all the way back and click "Y" when asked to save the new config. Back in the terminal type: make make modules sudo make modules_install (might need to enter system pw) The dm_mod.ko file will be in the /drivers/md/ folder

Being the OP, I'm curious what trouble you had and how you fixed it so I can add it to the instructions.

I was able to get the the package handbrake-0.9.8-i486-1alien.txz to work using the dependencies listed in aiden's post (with some tweaks). installpkg fontconfig-2.8.0-i486-1.txz installpkg freetype-2.4.10-i486-1_slack13.1.txz installpkg gcc-g++-4.5.2-i486-2.txz installpkg glib-1.2.10-i486-3.txz installpkg glibc-2.11.1-i486-7_slack13.1.txz installpkg libogg-1.1.4-i486-1.txz installpkg libsamplerate-0.1.7-i486-1.txz installpkg libtheora-1.1.1-i486-1.txz installpkg libvorbis-1.2.3-i486-1.txz installpkg libxml2-2.7.6-i486-3_slack13.1.txz installpkg zlib-1.2.5-i486-4.txz I moved my HandBrakeCLI to /usr/local/bin/ to work with my queue scripts. ldd /usr/local/bin/HandBrakeCLI linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb771a000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb76e6000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb766c000) libogg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libogg.so.0 (0xb7667000) libsamplerate.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsamplerate.so.0 (0xb74fc000) libtheora.so.0 => /usr/lib/libtheora.so.0 (0xb74ab000) libtheoraenc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libtheoraenc.so.1 (0xb7468000) libtheoradec.so.1 => /usr/lib/libtheoradec.so.1 (0xb744f000) libvorbis.so.0 => /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0 (0xb7427000) libvorbisenc.so.2 => /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so.2 (0xb732e000) libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0xb7208000) libbz2.so.1 => /lib/libbz2.so.1 (0xb71f7000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb71e3000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb71ca000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb71c6000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb70dd000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb70b7000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb70ab000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb6f43000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb6f23000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb771b000) This can work, but I'm interested in the settings ClunkClunk used to compile the earlier package that didn't need the extra libs.

Thanks Andy, but I'm having some problems with this. ./handbrake.SlackBuild HandBrake-0.9.8/make/.svn/props/ HandBrake-0.9.8/make/config.guess HandBrake-0.9.8/make/xcodemake Hmm...

I'm fairly knowledgeable using Linux, but it's a life long learning process. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi ClunkClunk, Did you ever get a chance to compile HandbrakeCLI 0.9.6? I have been using 0.9.5 for a while, but no running into errors with BluRay mkv's. I'm thinking the newest version may help.

I have been searching with not very much information on this error. I'm running unRaid 4.7 Final and this shows up in my log at least a few times a day. Can I fix this or should I just ignore it? Aug 19 02:15:03 static kernel: Failed to disable AUX port, but continuing anyway... Is this a SiS? (System) Thanks!

This may be a silly question, but the way I understand this script...If I use "user shares" I would want to use the -u switch, right? I access the server though user shares and the /mnt/user/ paths are the ones that should also be cached. Thanks

Seems to do the trick. Thanks Joe!

I'm no bash expert, but &> redirects both stdout and stderr. The -f switch tells 'at' to run the file name when executed. I still get an email. Oh well, I will tackle this later.

Thanks! Something like this? at -f /boot/scripts/samba_restart.sh now +30 minutes &> /dev/null

I recently installed the mail and status package from unMenu (I'm using unRaid 4.7) and it's working great except for one thing. I get emails whenever a scheduled job runs. For instance, I use the "at" command to change my samba config to a limited read-only state after 30min of reloading samba to a open/write config. I'm being specific here because, I'm not sure if it's the samba reload or the scheduled task activating the email. It's not the status script, I'm fairly sure. How can I prevent this? Many Thanks.

Thank you for all the input! Johnm, I like the little HP server you pointed out. If I use the 2TB that comes with it and get a second 500GB drive for $70, it comes out to about the same price as the Greenleaf Micro system. Although, they would have more space to expand and I wouldn't need to put the computer together. They are only using about 200GB now. I might also run MySql on the server too. The AMD Sempron 145 would be better over the HP 1.5Ghz. I have been wanting an offsite unRaid to rsync my main machine and the HP looks to be perfect for that. Right now, I just have a HDD dock I use once a month for my offsite copy. My server doesn't change too often so it's an acceptable system for now. Thanks for pointing me to it

Thanks Joe L. (don't know what I was thinking). It would be cheaper to get 2 of the 500GB drives.

In a nutshell, they have a single Debian v5.0.3 server which uses an old Paradox DB. It serves a large amount of files from /home too. I want to build this unRaid server to serve those files and a location to create images of the current system since that have no backup whatsoever. 1. You need at least 3 drives for unRAID to be protected (right?). I will see if I can spend a little more for the larger drives. 2. That motherboard does come with 1 SATA cable. I could just get 2 for a 3 drive system. 3. The RAM you picked out is DDR3 and the MB in the Greenleaf only supports DDR2. 4. The PSU you picked is the same.

Thank you dgaschk for your input. How about this PSU? COOLER MASTER GX 450W RS450-ACAAD3-US The fact you brought up the 8111E chipset had me look into the issue more. I built my server a few years ago and didn't have this problem. I came across the Greenleaf Technology 3 Drive microServer I may build this server, but omit the Mobile Rack. It sucks that hard drive prices still have not pre-Thailand flood prices. So with that Greenleaf server (without hot-swap racks) and 3 WD1600AAJS 160GB drives it comes to $466.17 (with shipping & tax).

I'm volunteering at a non-profit that has no money for anything, but their whole operation is being served by one machine running Debain v5.0.3 with no backup. I got the go ahead to build a server and tried to keep it super cheap. It sucks that hard drive prices haven't gone down to a normal level, but they only need about 200GB at least. I want to ask the community just to look over the specs and make sure its workable please...

Hi Joe, I'm trying to track down a problem with some software I'm using where new directories are not being scanned. Anyhow, I think it might be a cache issue (browser, application files). I love your script, but I have a question. Where are the cache files saved? Just killing cache_dirs.sh doesn't fix my problem and I'm not sure what your script is doing. I guess I can start the server without your script ever started and copy new directories over to eliminate cache_dirs, but I want to use cache_dir. It could be an issue of completely refreshing the cache of dirs like the server was rebooted (which doesn't seem to fix it every time). thanks for your input!

Hi All, I noticed a few days ago that the 'at' command wasn't executing the scripts I scheduled. I reverted back to a stock "go" script and 'at' worked. So I added a few lines in, rebooting in between, testing 'at' each time. I found out that the glibc-2.11.1-i486-3.txz package was causing the issue. I installed vim-7.2.416-i486-1.txz and needed glibc because I get the following error: vim: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by vim) It's not the VIM package, only after I install glibc-2.11.1. I'm running unRAID 4.7-final. Can anyone else confirm this? Is glibc really needed for VIM?

Thanks Joe L.

Ah, thank you prostuff (I did search around). I thought it was something that wasn't being set at shutdown. If I'm at a remote location and use powerdown, I will not be able to physically turn the system back on. Is the a system command to cancel the parity check though telnet?

This has been going on for a while, but I just cancel the parity check usually (since I have it scheduled monthly). I'm using unRAID 4.7 "Final". I usually shutdown by typing reboot in a telnet window. I have unMENU "clean pwerdown" (powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz) script installed and the power button bound to the powerdown script in my go script (sysctl -w kernel.poweroff_cmd="/sbin/powerdown"). Is it because I'm doing this thought telnet? My log from a restart is attached. Any lines with ### are from my scripts. syslog-2011-11-14.txt

I'm not sure "dupe Files" is working in unMENU Version 1.5 Revision: 241. I tried disabling cache_dir, and let the browser sit for ~5hours and it looks the same screen as when I press the button (see attached). There are no syslog entries about "dupe" or "duplicate". I had a few lines that said there were duplicate files when I was moving large ISO's from one disk to another, but I just think that was from the move process having the file in two places until the move finished. That is what prompted me to see if I have any other duplicate files. My server is 90% full of 7TB (10 disks). Shouldn't take 5+ hours I would think. Does a message show up after the refresh?

Response from ICY DOCK I like to have spare parts. The fan will eventually start to make noise. Backup data and your hardware..

It looks like the ICY DOCK MB454SPF-B Mulit-Bay Backplane has been discontinued on newegg. I want to replace the fan, but the fan is in a plastic case and the wires are soldered to pins on the plastic case. I have no problem soldering, but can't seem to find an official replacement part. Can I just buy a 80mm fan and solder the wires to the pins? It's a popular backplane, so I'm sure this situation has come up. I did search around before posting. Many Thanks.
