Understood. Thanks for the time!

To add, thank you for the link (note: read the manual). So looks like I'll be going for third pass on high-water. And ignore the 80% warnings?

Yes, I believe...

Quick question - as my array fills I understand it fills one disk to a point, then the next disk, etc. As I near the first 80% warning, will the disk at/over 80% continue to fill - or will it stop at a percentage (90%) and start on the next disk? IE, will I get an 80% warning on disk 1 below, then UnRaid will start using disk 2 until 80%, then disk 3? Trying to maximize my 7.5TB free but have a safe buffer.

I'm using a Dell T710 for Unraid 6.11.5. This has 8 internal slots for drives and I'm currently using two of those for the Cache drives. What are my options to move the Cache drives? I'd like to use all 8 slots for the array to expand my overall storage. I am using a Dell H310 HBA card in IT Mode - with both channels used for the drive cages. I also have an unused eSata card installed. Use the eSata card for an external enclosure to house the SSD drives (create a new pool, or use Unassigned Drives)? Current Config: Dell T710 II - Two x5690 Xeon CPU’s (12 cores, 3.47 Ghz) 96GB DDR3 Mulit-bit ECC Ram Dual 1100 watt PS Nvidia Quadro P2000 video card for transcoding (love the T710 for this easy install as opposed to the R710) Dell H310 HBA card – IT Mode (6) Hitachi HUS726060AL5210 6TB SAS Drives (30TB Array) (2) Micron 5100 MTFD - Enterprise 980GB SSD Drives (Cache) Dell / Intel XYT17 / X520-DA2 10GB FH Network Adapter (2 ports) running as bonded, active-backup Thoughts and advice much appreciated.

That did it! I'd thought of the spaces in the Windows directory earlier, but assumed since the OS (UnRaid & Krusader) saw it and worked to browse it was ok. Probably a best practice to follow anyway (no spaces) when mixing OS's. Thank you!

Target directory from UnRaid below. I tried target configs with both: /mnt/remotes/BACKUP_UnRaid OS Backup/ and /mnt/remotes/BACKUP_UnRaid OS Backup/Appdata/ Aside from my flashbackup file and the .DS_Store file (from my Mac touching the directory), there are no other files in the target directory.

Trying to use CA Appdata 2.5 using /mnt/remotes for destination. I am getting the error: CA_backup.tar: Cannot write: No space left on device. My remote target is an SMB share properly set up and working (I can browse and write from Plex) and with 16tb free. Any thoughts?

The Docker.Patch plugin fixed it! Thank you for taking the time.

Just recently, my TDARR docker updates are showing "unavailable". I read a couple of posts that mention checking DNS or running a script, but that seemed to be for those where no docker updates were working. This is only happening with TDARR. TDARR support said they are not aware of an issue. Any thoughts or guidance? Screenshot 2023-02-15 at 4.38.38 PM

Fixed! Removing second node port from Server and the only/one node port from Node restored the containers!

Ok - that makes it clear. Thank you!

Thanks. Is it a virtual Raid 1 on a Raid 0 formatted/pooled set of drives? That's where my confusion lies and if this is some sort of virtual Raid 1, not clear how this would provide Raid 1 protection (1 drive failing). If my two drives are wholly a Raid 0 pool, how do I end up with a (reported) Raid 1 for metadata and system?

Quick question - I recently replaced my two SAS drives with SSD for my Cache. As these are enterprise SSD, I went with Raid 0 (I know, still a risk). Two 960GB drives in Raid 0. I followed the process for moving the original Cache data to the array, replacing the original drives with the new drives, configured for Raid 0 via the Balance pulldown, then kicked off the move back to Cache. All went and works fine. Question: Why does the BTRFS filesystem for my Cache show Raid 1 for System and Metadata? I did run the Perform Full Balance after the data was moved back as well.

Got it - thank you. This helps.

I have a recently built Unraid server (see specs below) and want to make a change to the cache drives. I'd built the cache with two 2tb 7.2k SAS drives as a pool, which is entirely too slow... I'm also finding I don't really need 2tb of cache space. My primary use for this server is Plex and my 3CX phone system. I'd like to replace the cache drives with two pooled 1TB SSD drives. Questions and possible issue I need clarity on; What is the preferred method to replace cache drives with smaller capacity replacements? The 8 drive slots on my T710 are all occupied - two 2TB SAS cache drives and six 6TB SAS drives (no room/slots/channels to add more SAS/SATA drives). Since the drives are pooled, I understand I could pull one and rebuild on a new drive, but can this be done on a smaller drive? If migrating/rebuilding to smaller drives is risky or overly complicated, I assume I can follow other documented processes to replace with (much more expensive) 2TB SSD drives one at a time? Config: Unraid 6.9.2 Dell T710 II w/ two x5690 CPU’s 96GB Ram Dual 1100 watt PS Nvidia Quadro P2000 video card for transcoding (love the T710 for this easy install as opposed to the R710) Dell H310 – IT Mode (6) Hitachi HUS726060AL5210 6TB SAS Drives (2) Hitachi HUS723020ALS640 2TB 6G SAS Drives (Cache) Dell / Intel XYT17 / X520-DA2 10GB FH Network Adapter (not configured) 4 network ports on T710 running as bonded, active-backup, 1gb Dedicated APC 1500va UPS Thanks all!

Thank you. Next question; when I have the sfp ports connected, what is the procedure to make active on Unraid? Then disable the copper interfaces? Eth0 is my primary interface currently with eth1, 2 and 3 as bonded (bond0) active-backup interfaces. Eth4 is my dual fiber Nic. While I can work in CLI, my concern is the order of the process so maybe I can do the changes from the web interface? Obtain connectivity to the switch via eth4 Use both fiber ports on card and switch ports? Validate connectivity (how?) Disable the bonded interface? Or keep one as a failover? Thanks again.

Let me start my question with a basic 'will it work' scenario, then I expect to have more questions... Running Unraid 6.9.2 on a Dell T710 with 4 gig interfaces bonded as active-backup. I also have a X520-DA2 10GB FH Network Adapter (2 ports) installed, currently in down state (fiber cables not connected yet). Primary usage is Plex. I have a Unifi US-24-500W switch with two unused 10g sfp+ ports I believe are normally used as uplinks to other switches/infrastructure. Can I use these to connect from the Unraid server fiber interfaces to the switch sfp+ ports and serve all the other hosts on the switch? My goal is to have the two 10g links between the Unraid server and the Unifi switch serve all my clients - and potentially do away with my four Unraid 1g links. This is all on one private network at this point. Thanks
