  1. Thanks. You know, I pretty much gloss over the about section of the tools page.
  2. I'm currently running 6.8.2 and I vaguely remember in the Web GUI a notice about updating to a new version would show up somewhere. It used to be in the plugins section long ago, but I feel like I've seen it on the status bar at the bottom of the main page. Anyway, I haven't seen any such notice and I see that we're up to 6.9.X now. So how do we check for updates via the Web GUI? I tried searching the forums for this, but too many unrelated topics kept showing up.
  3. I'm running 6.2.4 and I've got 1 parity drive and 5 disk drives in the array. One of the disks has been reporting read errors. The new drive I purchased I want to use as the parity drive and shift the parity drive to replace the bad disk. I've moved all files off the bad disk to other disks since I had room. What's the best way to proceed on this? I was thinking of doing the following: Stop and Power down the array. Remove parity drive. Add new drive. Power on array and set new drive as parity disk. Rebuild parity. Stop and Power down the array. Remove bad drive. Add previous parity drive. Power on array and set previous parity drive to disk # vacated by the bad drive. But since parity will rebuild and there is nothing currently on the bad disk anyway, can I simply combine it and do the following instead: Stop and Power down the array. Remove bad drive. Add new drive. Power on array and set existing parity as disk # vacated by bad drive and set new drive to parity. Rebuild parity.
  4. I have a Sempron 140 and upgraded from v5 to v6 and have not seen any slow down in parity checks.
  5. That did it. No php errors anymore and I can save the layout properly. Thanks for the help.
  6. Please post output of "ls -las /dev/disk/by-id". I think that because you are using a U3 USB stick it is showing up as both a USB device and a CD/DVD ROM device with the same serial number. total 0 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 580 Sep 21 16:24 ./ 0 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 140 Sep 21 16:24 ../ 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00P8B0_WD-WMAVU0001560 -> ../../sdc 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00P8B0_WD-WMAVU0001560-part1 -> ../../sdc1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00S2B0_WD-WCAVY1422375 -> ../../sdd 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD15EADS-00S2B0_WD-WCAVY1422375-part1 -> ../../sdd1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WCAZA5935469 -> ../../sde 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WCAZA5935469-part1 -> ../../sde1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WMAZA0194825 -> ../../sdb 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WMAZA0194825-part1 -> ../../sdb1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WMAZA0803880 -> ../../sda 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WMAZA0803880-part1 -> ../../sda1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD40EFRX-68WT0N0_WD-WCC4E1EFAEP0 -> ../../sdf 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 ata-WDC_WD40EFRX-68WT0N0_WD-WCC4E1EFAEP0-part1 -> ../../sdf1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 usb-SanDisk_U3_Cruzer_Micro_000018711572C38B-0:0 -> ../../sdg 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 usb-SanDisk_U3_Cruzer_Micro_000018711572C38B-0:0-part1 -> ../../sdg1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 usb-SanDisk_U3_Cruzer_Micro_000018711572C38B-0:1 -> ../../sr0 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee0016e5c7d -> ../../sdc 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee0016e5c7d-part1 -> ../../sdc1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee203b4f769 -> ../../sdd 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee203b4f769-part1 -> ../../sdd1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee205b0e206 -> ../../sde 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee205b0e206-part1 -> ../../sde1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee20c3dc367 -> ../../sdf 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee20c3dc367-part1 -> ../../sdf1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee6006c3ced -> ../../sda 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee6006c3ced-part1 -> ../../sda1 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee6aae38270 -> ../../sdb 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 21 16:24 wwn-0x50014ee6aae38270-part1 -> ../../sdb1
  7. Yeah I don't know why it shows up like that in the server layout, but everywhere else it's fine. serverlayout.json.txt
  8. I'm using the latest plugin version: 2015.06.15
  9. I installed the plugin and tried to use it but it doesn't seem to save the information. There is also a bunch of php errors when the plugin first loads up the layout page: I am using Unraid 6.1.2 and Firefox 40.0.3.
  10. Interesting....guess I'll plan my build to include hardware for the WMC VM, but it's clear that it'll take a bit of effort to get it to work right. Thanks for the link, I've saved off the file in case their site ever goes bye bye.
  11. Well that's disappointing. Looks like I'll have to scrap my WMC VM, which will adjust the parts list I'm compiling for the server upgrade.
  12. Hmm, yeah perhaps the 1246 would be better, that way I can test out various setups without having to pick up a discrete graphics card until I'm ready or when it's finally necessary. The $35 bump in price is reasonable. So question, what are the tradeoffs with going with a server motherboard like the one I'm thinking of picking up and say one of the new Skylake Z170 desktop boards? I know the server boards support ECC RAM but only have 16 pcie lanes, while the z170 boards don't support ECC but have more pcie lanes (up to 36? if I'm reading correctly), which would allow for multiple SAS controller cards and discrete graphics. Is there anything else I'm missing? Is ECC just that much more important in this type of setup?
  13. Oh right, been looking at too many motherboard specs. Definitely would need a video card then.
