  1. MrGrey

    Preclear

    No. It's your choice to test your drives before putting them in your server. Exactly as it should be. MrGrey.
  2. Never download to "THE" array. Use an old drive for downloading and make it cache only. Do the same for an open share within your house, so family can share things (internally) without it being on the Internet. MrGrey.
  3. How did you make this happen?... (I want to make sure I don't?)... MrGrey.
  4. It's impossible for a proper memtest to "pass" in the time we've been talking. When did you do that?... Did you do it when the server was still crashing? Just trying to help... Slow down. MrGrey.
  5. You didn't run memtest in less than a day, unless you have 1Mb of RAM? Let's start over... I run ASUS, I run Ryzen. They work fine so far (knocking on wood). Not being facetious... Is the power to your server absolutely, positively the best power in your entire house? MrGrey.
  6. Spotify?... You will never access Apple through or via anything without giving up more than you wish to give. In case I wasn't clear... Don't use Apple. MrGrey.
  7. That's probably SAAS (software as a service) and there's nothing you can do about it now, accept maybe cancel the service. Welcome to the new world. MrGrey.
  8. As good as anyone here. Ignore the thread rippers. MrGrey.
  9. That topic lives here... It's not. You can VM BSD and ZFS to your hearts content. Why don't you like BTRFS?... I really want to know? MrGrey.
  10. BIOS must show (be set to) the USB as the boot device. Saying that... my MB will only do it every 2nd/other boot. I can NOT consistently boot UnRaid, but I can consistently boot it with multiple attempts. *shrug* I have my "drive/flash" in a USB2 (as recommended). Do you? You mean UEFI?... and I don't understand the " - ". Maybe I have it good. MrGrey.
  11. Try Firefox. Chrome sucks and Edge is worse (at collecting your personal information and sharing it with everyone). Firefox also sucks, maybe that's why UnRaid uses it as its "default" browser. I don't know? MrGrey.
  12. I'm late too... Parity is only meant/used to have services continue to run when there's a true/real HD failure. Backups are everything and rsync is the best. I wish Windows had rsync, but that would ruin everything that Microsoft has planned to make our lives better. MrGrey.
  13. Make sure you have a backup. Parity is only to make sure things keep running. MrGrey.

    Preclear

    Don't buy used drives. I don't believe Binhex makes a preclear. A proper preclear on a 14tb drive takes about 3 days (you do the math compaired to 90 hours). MrGrey.
  15. Anything on the Internet can be self hosted... email is very diffucult. Don't use Zoho; very expensive. (jmho) MrGrey.
  16. I would wait for JorgeB to reply, but I think you have a failing drive. MrGrey.
  17. That's what I was going to say... And I'm still thinking the same thing... You're beyond me there. Maybe just ignore me. Then all is good? MrGrey.
  18. MrGrey

    is it me?

    My bad... MrGrey.
  19. Do you have a USB drive(s) in your array? MrGrey.
  20. That's how I setup mine. Then I realized CA Autobackup is backing it up... but just now I see it's depricated? Best to not use community and backup ones self. Who is KluthR? My bad... Guess I can't keep up. MrGrey.
  21. Overclocking doesn't just effect what you're overclocking; your mainboard has to handle it as well (all those connections trying to deal with the heat/power). I don't have an answer, but I wouldn't trust anything after overclocking. MrGrey.
  22. 500W + (all Video Card requirements) + (5W * HD) = Your Power Supply Requirement. It's better to have more power than less because the PSU will never provide more than needed. MrGrey.
  23. Disable SMB1 (if you haven't already). I don't know what a Raven Document Scanner is, but I suspect it's a device attached via ethernet cable, or a device attached via USB to a device attached via an ethernet cable. If it's WIFI, you might just ignore me... How are you accessing UnRAID for management? I'm guessing WebUI, but that could be "local" (ip address) or through "MyServers" plugin? Windoze or Mak (or Linux) or directly plugged in monitor and keyboard? UnRaid is tightening security, as it should, and 6.10 to 6.11 is quite a leap. I'm sorry I don't have the answer yet... That is the most true error I've seen in a long, long time. MrGrey.
  24. You can run anything... I'm going to recommend ECC RAM and your motherboard won't support it (why?). What are you going to do?... Just build and learn. I know... (no one has the money to do that anymore)... ghost protocol. MrGrey.
  25. I suspect there is, but I wouldn't recommend it. How do you backup data that's important?... Think about that? To each their own... MrGrey.
