wills

In case anyone else has this problem, I resolved it in FileFlows GUI -> Settings -> General by enabling "Temp Files for Moving/Copying". It then changes the filename extension to .ffmpeg while moving and then back to .mkv (or whatever you have set) at the end.

Some extra info: Ubuntu node connects to Unraid server with NFS file sharing via fstab as follows: 192.168.101.102:/mnt/user/complete /media/complete nfs defaults,_netdev,hard,intr 0 0 192.168.101.102:/mnt/user/converted /media/converted nfs defaults,_netdev,hard,intr 0 0 192.168.101.102:/mnt/user/movies /media/movies nfs defaults,_netdev,hard,intr 0 0 192.168.101.102:/mnt/user/tv /media/tv nfs defaults,_netdev,hard,intr 0 0 Note, mapping from Ubuntu server needs to be /mnt/user before the actual shares (/complete, /converted, etc.) to work, here is Unraid exportfs: root@Unraid:~# exportfs -v /mnt/user/complete <world>(async,wdelay,hide,no_subtree_check,fsid=100,anonuid=99,anongid=100,sec=sys,rw,insecure,root_squash,all_squash) /mnt/user/converted <world>(async,wdelay,hide,no_subtree_check,fsid=101,anonuid=99,anongid=100,sec=sys,rw,insecure,root_squash,all_squash) /mnt/user/movies <world>(async,wdelay,hide,no_subtree_check,fsid=102,anonuid=99,anongid=100,sec=sys,rw,insecure,root_squash,all_squash) /mnt/user/tv <world>(async,wdelay,hide,no_subtree_check,fsid=103,anonuid=99,anongid=100,sec=sys,rw,insecure,root_squash,all_squash) Sonarr remote path mappings setup as: Host: 192.168.101.102 Remote Path: /complete/tv Local Path: /converted/tv

I was running my Unraid server for years with Sonarr/Radarr and supporting apps running inside a Windows VM on the Unraid server. Besides personal file backup, main purpose is media server with Emby. Was running FileFlows server as a docker, with FileFlows node running on a separate Windows PC for media compression. I'm in the process of taking down the VM and have transferred all the VM apps to docker apps on the Unraid server. I'll attach an image for clarification. Basically, Sonarr/Radarr download videos with qbittorrent and SABnzbd to Unraid: /complete/tv /complete/movies FileFlows recommends using remote path mappings to keep Sonarr/Radarr importer from grabbing the non-processed files before conversion. Completed files (after FileFlows), go to: /converted/tv /converted/movies When FileFlows sees a new file, it tells an active node to start processing it. The Ubuntu PC (node), then copies the file from /complete/tv (for Sonarr files) to the Ubuntu's file system at: /home/chad/FileFlows/Temp It processes them there with FFMPEG and some other tools, and when done, moves the completed file (with the same filename) to /converted/tv. Here's where the problem is. Sonarr has a fixed 1 minute file import interval where it monitors the /converted/tv directory for the files to show up, and when it sees them it starts moving them to the Unraid file system where they belong while renaming them. It has no way of knowing if the file it is moving has been fully moved first, so it often is moving half-moved files. I didn't have this problem with the prior setup with Windows. I'm guessing since Sonarr and the separate Windows PC node transferring files around using SMB shares, files were locked better by one of the systems, and I never had half-moved files getting transferred. This has happened with some movie files also, and Radarr's Completed Download Handling was set to 1 minute. I changed that to 120 minutes and that is now fine. The problem is Sonarr doesn't have such a setting and has told the community they are not implementing it, so there is no way for me to delay it scanning for completed media imports, and the 1 minute is screwing up a ton of files. The only thing I've been able to do to remedy this is turn off Sonarr's Completed Download Handing completely, which removes them from the Activity Queue as soon as they are done downloading. Then I wait until nothing is processing, turn Sonarr's Completed Download Handling back on, go to Activity Queue and hit refresh a couple of times. Then files that were in-process show up again, and if anything is still being processed by FileFlows, they show up there, and things that are being held at /converted/tv get imported and moved. Then I turn off download handling again and rinse and repeat when needed. Is there some way around this that anybody knows of? I'm sure there is some sort of script I could schedule to run on Sonarr like once/day to handle this, but it would be nice if I could have downloaded->converted media to auto-populate as before.

I have one each of these systems, and I'd like to switch one into an Unraid server to primarily host VMs. The only massive difference between motherboards is the AMD can do max 64GB of RAM and the Intel 192GB, but I currently only have 32GB on both. Are there compatibility issues with either of them that should lean me towards one or the other? The 5900X has 12 cores, 24 threads, but all cores are the same type. The 13900K has 24 cores, but only 8 P-cores, with the rest being E-cores. Does Unraid allow the use of E-cores like normal for pinning and such for VMs, or do some of them have to be bundled with P-cores if that makes sense. Any insights would be great.

I hate updates. Everything was working, then I decided to update the Unraid server to the latest build, and all the dockers/plugins/etc. Now whenever Emby DVRs a program from my antenna, the permissions are set wrong and I cannot delete from Emby, most of the time they won't even play. I have to manually go on the server and remove the files. If I go into Unraid Tools->New Permissions, goto the DVR user share and let that run, I can then watch the DVR'd stuff in Emby, but it still won't delete them. I don't know if this is an Emby app issue, or Unraid or what since I updated everything at once. Any suggestions?

I'm currently running 6.9.2 with a variety of plugins/dockers/vms. I've never updated the server, just the plugins/dockers. Is updating the server to the latest stable 6.11.1 relatively safe and painless, or are their things I should be aware of?

I enabled it and the idle usage went to this: Running Emby, transcoding a 4K HDR -> 1080p SDR title it showed this: This was with Emby's throttling off so I could more accurately access load, but I normally run with throttling on the help the CPU. I couldn't figure out how to turn off persistence mode with that command, I tried nvidia-persistenced --no-persistence-mode but it threw an error, so I turned it off with nvidia-smi -pm DISABLED. But having it on didn't seem to affect the GPU, so I turned it back on to save a few watts, thanks. Do you know a recommended way to enable this either with nvidia-persistenced or nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED upon system boot after the Nvidia driver plugin has been loaded? EDIT: I added a script to User Scripts to be loaded at startup of array. If that's wrong let me know, otherwise I'll roll with that.

Watching the GPU Statistics output, it looks as though the card is not entering any alternate power state (staying in P0) now. I don't know if that is the result of legacy mode or because I have dummy plugs inserted or what, but I'm fine with that. The plugin never worked for me in UEFI mode with the 3060, so I don't really know what it was doing, and if it dropped out, I wouldn't be able to see the power state anyway. It only draws around 50w of power even with the GPU not dropping its core clock speed, so nbd.

Is it possible the GPU was entering a low-power mode and that caused it to drop off? Is there a command that can be ran to prevent it from doing that?

The zip i uploaded yesterday was after it dropped out. Looking in the syslog.txt file, at the bottom there are a bunch of these, repeating every few seconds: Aug 18 06:52:12 Unraid kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x23:0xffff:1204) Aug 18 06:52:12 Unraid kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0 I just ran one now after the system has been running all night, and I don't see any errors like that now.

@ich777 I got it work - I think. Changed boot/PCI devices to legacy and it then showed up for the first time under the GPU Statistics plugin, but it kept dropping out for no apparent reason. I could get it to drop just by doing different things to access the card, such as going to the Dashboard page where the the load monitor is, going to the Nvidia driver plugin page, running nvidia-smi, it would fall out after doing a couple/three of those things reliably. I then tried different configs of the iGPU being Auto/Enabled/Disabled with it being primary vs PEG1 (3060). None of that seems to matter. If I had a monitor connected and on, it wouldn't drop out that I could see, but if the display shut off, upon a reboot, the 3060 would drop out like before. So then I tried an HDMI dummy plug on the 3060, that didn't work, then tried a DP dummy plug on it and that didn't work, but for some reason having both the HDMI/DP dummies in it hasn't fallen off yet. I've tried the normal stuff to break it and it hasn't and rebooted/cold-booted and it's staying active. I don't really understand why it's working like that, but I'm not going to breathe on it. Thanks for your help. If you want me to guinea-pig some other stuff let me know.

@ich777 for legacy boot mode on my Gigabyte motherboard, I think it's CSM Support -> Enabled, and then Storage Boot Option Control -> Legacy. There is also an Other PCI Devices option that allows UEFI/Legacy, will that one matter? Also, could changing any of this affect Unraid adversely since it's setup to UEFI now?

Most of the posts on the Nvidia forum I've seen from people that have 3060 working are running a 5.8+ kernel.

It is in UEFI, I can try legacy later today. I think secure boot is disabled, will check that also. I've tried an HDMI display and dummy plug, and that hasn't worked. You mentioned yesterday a 3060 user having it working a few pages back. I looked and wasn't able to find that, but I may have missed it. So far in searching I haven't found anybody with a 3060 conclusively working yet, but it's hard to pin down with 3060 Tis coming up in search results also.

This user has the same issue with two 3060s, one EVGA, one Gigabyte. I see he also posted on this thread back on page 43 and was asked to provide a log, but I don't see that he did.
