I installed a brand new WD Red 6 TB Pro to replace a very old 3 TB parity drive. I installed it and selected it as the parity drive. It got through about 12 percent of the process, when I realized I did not preclear the drive. So I canceled the parity synch. I've tried many times to preclear in a screen, using this command: ./preclear_disk.sh -a /dev/sde I get the following: BLKRRPART: Input/output error Sorry: Device /dev/sde is not responding to an fdisk -l /dev/sde command. You might try power-cycling it to see if it will start responding. I have power-cycled the drive and the computer many times, with the same result. When I run: fdisk -l /dev/sde I get: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sde'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. Any suggestions as to how I get past all this? Thanks.

I went ahead and installed the script you pointed to. It works extremely well. You'll want to probably play with the value of "set mirror:use-pget-n". For me, a setting of 8 maximized downloads. Also, you may want to put single quote marks around the parameters you set at the top, particularly for each of the directory values.

I believe lftp is part of the NerdPack plug-in. Install the plug-in (enter https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eschultz/unraid6-nerdpack/master/NerdPack.plg in the GUI plug-in page), and you should be good to go. Good luck getting your seedbox sync going. I'm interested in doing something similar.

Thanks gundamguy. Verbosity did the trick. I noticed it got stuck on a certain, non-vital, directory. I deleted it and rebooted. Back to a peaceful rsync.

I followed this thread quite closely. Before even starting the RFS to XFS copy, I set move to a monthly schedule, to be invoked next in 30 days. I also shut down docker. I have no backups going into unraid and no plug-ins installed. I am using Beta 13 (did not run into the cache format bug). I was able to get about 2TB of a 3TB RFS drive copied to a 3TB drive using screen and this command: "rsync -av --progress --remove-source-files /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disk3/" But then the process stopped, and all disks stopped spinning for more than an hour. So I shut down the screen session and started again using the same command. It never restarted and the screen is now stuck at sending incremental file list ./ That's what the screen has looked like for a couple of hours. How to finish?

Thanks Squid. Just about an hour ago I decided to give Binhex's Plex a try, and following the directions here, it went installed without a hitch. Post a screenshot of your XML screen (ie - click on the words PlexMediaServer). Also, where it says either "up for xxx hours" or "Exited xx ago," Click on that and post what it says.

Excellent guide, thank you. Everything works for me, until the end. The WebUI (http://192.168.1.99:32400/web/index.html) never opens, no matter how long I wait. This is a basic UNRAID beta 12 install with nothing else added. In installing, I created a share called "docker" and made it cache-only. I installed the image file (docker.img) in that share. I created an "apps" folder within the docker share for containers, and put Plex at /mnt/user/docker/apps/plexmediaserver. Clues?

So, if your CPU has 8 cores (an AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core - 3.1 GHz), and the only VM you are running is the ArchVM appliance, fully loaded with SABnzbd, Plex Media Server, Handbrake, etc, you would assign 8 to vcpus, correct? If so, wouldn't activity on UNRAID itself cause a potential bottleneck?

I've driven through these very informative pages quite a bit, but could not find a direct answer to these questions about the vm config file. Is #vcpus supposed to equal the number of cores assigned to the VM? If someone has an 8-core CPU and the ArchVM is the only VM (running several tools, including Plex Media Server), what should be assigned to #vcpus? Should it be all 8? Or 7 leaving 1 for dom0? Also, why is the line commented out anyway? Similar questions as to memory: On the "memory" line in the default config, does the "2048" mean that 2 gigs are assigned to the ArchVM? If someone has 16 GB or RAM, would they be wasting the remaining 14? Thanks.
