I might use the "old" drives for "download" tasks. When I say, "download tasks" I mean temporary storage that might work hard, but not really matter too much because it's just a download drive. Read in to that what you will. MrGrey.

Be careful. The people that don't understand nothing about computers are wearing computers that know and search everything about every network that they are near to and might exploit every vulnerability in those networks hoping to be an admin and control everything on that network... sorry, just a phone, it can't do nothin' MrGrey.

Trurl is much smarter than I. I haven't looked at your diagnostics because I wouldn't know what to look for in them. That said, I've been through dozens of drive failures. I'm lucky enough to have not lost anything. Do you have, or can you buy, a USB drive large enough to hold what you need to save? Or, do you have some way to connect a drive large enough to store what you need to save? It seems, from your post, that your parity disk is failing. IMHO, In my humble opinion, that's better than a data disk failing. I hope you have a backup/location/disk, anything that can take any data that might be in jeopardy. MrGrey.

I didn't look at your diagnostics, but if you own a domain then you have absolute power over that. Check the DNS, check the SSL/TLS certificates, in Cloudflare (I assume). You built it, you own it, it's your domain. I might ask what you're using as your router? MrGrey.

I've read that there are many things that windows 11 demands that windows 10 doesn't provide/require. I would love to write a novel on the (in/un)security issues, but I'm pretty sure, to satisfy the, "(in/un)security issues" of Windows 11, you'll need to rebuild things so that they are, "more secure?" I could be absolutely wrong. MrGrey.

I'm planning to remove a 6tb and replace it with a 12tb. I'd like to shrink before adding/replacing. I'm not helping at all, but I'm most interested in the answer. MrGrey.

It's my understanding that HA (Home Assistant) is trying, very hard, to be more stable. As of this writing, I can't make it run longer than a week on bare metal (Rpi4). HA changes very fast, as does home automation in general. Thread/Matter/IPV6... Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't read anything to suggest that Thread/Matter require IPV6... Maybe its a MAC/iOS thing? MrGrey.

In a VM (I hope) or a Core Docker?... Correct me if I'm wrong, but *NO* one can reliably make Mater work over Thread on "various" bare metal as of October 19, 2024. I could be wrong; educate me, please. I don't want to "diss" Unraid, but running Home Assistant in Unraid is like running pfSense in Unraid and it simply isn't was Unraid was built to do in a production environment. Again, I could be wrong, I'm not the sharpest tool in the drawer. MrGrey.

I think Home Assistant is looking to make things stable. They've been burned by "people" having misconfigured setups for many years. I might muse they want to garner favor to their nabu casa expedition, but I haven't felt that. I think it should be hard to make a secure network. I'll probably regret that statement. 😂 MrGrey

I wish I could help more, but I never want my drives to spin down and have never looked into this ability. I must admit, I don't know what green dot you're referring to. The QNAP TR-004 has limited function within Unraid. It is what it is and UnRaid will accept it as whatever it is (you make it) for it to be. You can make it single drives. You can make it a RAID. It won't show drive temperatures. Where is this green dot?... And don't be sorry for anything, or for, "reviving an old thread." Everyone here is happy to help any way we can. That damn green dot is haunting me now... MrGrey.

You need to make sure your firewall rules (in pfsense) allow "communication" between subnets. That said... ...implies you have proper communication, but don't have permissions setup properly. You might want to explain a little more... (local, webhook, http, https, ???) MrGrey.

I think Home Assistant can be as complicated as UnRaid. I run both on different bare metal. Yes, I know, the HassOS and addons are just dockers, but... can you get a reverse proxy to work with it/them? I know many can... all the power to those aficionados. I can guarantee that you don't want to build a smart home on HomeAssistant_inabox. I'm pretty sure Space Invader One hasn't either. Space Invader One overstepped a bit on this one. I was looking forward to it as a backup server of sorts. Oh, well. MrGrey.

I remember this being "documented" for the homepage as a very good feature. I comment because I had to find it (again) for the docker page? MrGrey.

And if you forget, or fall and end up in the hospital for a day or two? Come on... Make stuff nice for your family. They won't give a crap about your "ghosts" when you're gone. I hope that wasn't too harsh. I meant it in the most thoughtful way. MrGrey.

If ZFS makes people feel safer then bring on ZFS. If ZFS makes UnRAID compete more with *NAS then bring on ZFS. If everyone wants ZFS then bring on ZFS. If you don't want to use ZFS; don't. MrGrey.
