I have attached my Diagnostics report. Yes, I ran the DiskSpeed docker, but as far as I can tell it only benchmarks read speed, which it benchmarked at 1,502MB/s the whole test. I'm not terribly familiar with iperf so unsure what to run, but I figured my network wasn't the issue since I always maxed out network speed with my previous SSD. nas-diagnostics-20200330-1001.zip

I recently switched out my cache drive from an older 250GB Crucial SSD to a 500GB Samsung Evo 960 NVMe SSD using a PCI-e to NVMe adapter. The weird thing is, even though the NVMe drive is faster I'm seeing slower speeds from it, particularly when I transfer files to it over my gigabit hard-wired network. With the SATA SSD I could saturate my network every time transferring at 113MB/s both read and write. But with the NVMe SSD the fastest I can write to it over the network is 84MB/s and I still get 113MB/s reads from it so I know it's not the network. Here is the hardware I'm using: Asrock 990FX Extreme9 w/ latest firmware - I'm using PCI-e slot #1 which is a PCI-e x16 slot This PCIe to NVMe adapter - which is capable of 1500+MB/s write Samsung Evo 960 NVMe SSD - which can easily max out the adapter I enabled jumbo frames in Unraid's settings but that didn't make a difference. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, I'm using ethernet. Yes I'm in a cold climate with dry air, what could possibly be causing a bad ground?

This build worked fine for a few months then started exhibiting this issue. I just unplugged and re-plugged every power connection in the case, guess we'll see if that resolves the issue.

Yeah, I have some SATA power splitters to be able to power all the hard drives.

Yes.

Can somebody please try and help solve an issue I've been having the last several months that's driving me crazy?! For some reason my Unraid server will hang whenever my tower is touched, we're talking placing something on top of it or even something as simple as the Roomba bumping into it. If that happens it becomes completely unresponsive even though I can still hear the fans running. There is nothing on the monitor and trying to access webUI fails. This has happened about 20 times in the past few months and it's driving me crazy because the only way to fix it is to hard shutdown with the power button which causes me to have to do a parity check when starting up again, putting lots of unnecessary read time on all 7 of my disks. I opened the tower and checked all cable connections to make sure they were secure and re-seated my 2 sticks of RAM, but it's still happening. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed! Thank you.

Actually the worst thing that can happen is frying the motherboard leads going to the CPU fan header due to high current draw, but the odds of that with only 3 fans total is pretty slim.

Yeah, I had thought of that but researching online several people warned not to use a splitter on the CPU fan header, but I think I'll go ahead and give it a try since I'm only going to be running 3 fans total off it (CPU, 120mm, and 140mm). Thanks!

Yes, the fan attached to my CPU will automatically adjust speed based on CPU temp, I was just hoping I could have my chassis fans adjust based on CPU temp as well.

I've got Dynamix Auto Fan Control working for my PWM chassis fans, but I was curious if it were possible to have it monitor and adjust based on CPU temp instead of HDD temps? The reason I ask is because my HDDs usually remain relatively cool but my CPU can get pretty hot when transcoding for Plex so it would be nice to have the chassis fans ramp up based on that instead of HDD temps. Thank you and sorry if this has been asked before!

Sure, here are all 3 hard drive SMART reports ST3000DM001-1CH166 SMART Report.txt WDC #1 WD30EZRX-00MMMB0 SMART Report.txt WDC #2 WD30EZRX-00MMMB0 SMART Report.txt

Update: I'll pay for the shipping. So $40 per hard drive or $100 for all 3 shipped.

Just upgraded to a couple 8TB HDDs so no longer have need for these. I bought all of them new and most have only seen a couple hour spin up time in my NAS each day. Never had any errors reported in unraid with any of them and all have just been zeroed and succesfully precleared. $40 + $5 shipping per hard drive or $100 + $10 shipping for all 3 HDDs! I prefer PayPal and US shipping only please. Model #s: Seagate ST3000DM001, Date: 13201 Western Digital WD30EZRX, Date: 08 OCT 2011 Western Digital WD30EZRX, Date: 23 NOV 2011

What's the best way to erase all my EPG grabber settings and start fresh? I had Schedules Direct working but then I was messing around in Kodi and accidentally changed my Schedules Direct default lineup and then my EPG in TVH stopped working. I have tried re-running the Schedules Direct setup in TVH from the beginning but I'm still not getting any EPG data. I even tried deleting all the mapped channels in the EPG Grabber Channels tab but nothing shows up anymore when I force an internal grabber run.

Nevermind, I figured it out! I had to go to the Channels tab and map each channel to the correct sdjson value in the EPG Source column like so: Thanks for your help, saarg! Merry Christmas everyone!

Well I think I did everything correctly, but for some reason it's not pulling data from Schedules Direct. I ran the command instructed on github and used all the default responses: root@NAS:~# docker exec -it -u abc tvheadend /usr/bin/tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure Name "Params::Validate::NO_VALIDATION" used only once: possible typo at /usr/bin/tv_grab_zz_sdjson line 238. Cache file for lineups, schedules and programs. Cache file: [/config/.xmltv/tv_grab_zz_sdjson.cache] If you are migrating from a different grabber selecting an alternate channel ID format can make the migration easier. Select channel ID format: 0: Default Format (eg: I12345.json.schedulesdirect.org) 1: tv_grab_na_dd Format (eg: I12345.labs.zap2it.com) 2: MythTV Internal DD Grabber Format (eg: 12345) Select one: [0,1,2 (default=0)] As the JSON data only includes the previously shown date normally the XML output should only have the date. However some programs such as older versions of MythTV also need a time. Select previously shown format: 0: Date Only 1: Date And Time Select one: [0,1 (default=0)] Schedules Direct username. Username: ******* Schedules Direct password. Password: ******* ** POST https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/token ==> 200 OK (1s) ** GET https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/status ==> 200 OK ** GET https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/lineups ==> 200 OK This step configures the lineups enabled for your Schedules Direct account. It impacts all other configurations and programs using the JSON API with your account. A maximum of 4 lineups can by added to your account. In a later step you will choose which lineups or channels to actually use for this configuration. Current lineups enabled for your Schedules Direct account: #. Lineup ID | Name | Location | Transport 1. USA-OTA-46077 | Local Over the Air Broadcast | 46077 | Antenna Edit account lineups: [continue,add,delete (default=continue)] Choose whether you want to include complete lineups or individual channels for this configuration. Select mode: [lineups,channels (default=lineups)] ** GET https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/lineups ==> 200 OK (1s) Choose lineups to use for this configuration. USA-OTA-46077 [yes,no,all,none (default=no)] Select the channels that you want to receive data for. root@NAS:~# Then I enabled that module and disabled OTA ATSC Grabber like so: And it appears to have automatically correctly mapped everything according to this tab: But then no data is showing in the EPG in tvheadend or in Kodi. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong or step I missed? Yeah, I used that for awhile but I always found the data to be lacking and not always correct. To me Schedules Direct is worth the $20 per year.

I think I finally figured it out. First off, I deleted the PVR setup in Plex but I forgot to remove the dvb passthrough parameter from the docker so thank you for that advice! Secondly when doing initial network scan I had to only use 1 ATSC-T tuner, for some reason if I used multiple tuners it would fail, so I now have all the channels listed! Now my next question, I am a complete novice when it comes to linux and tvheadend (I was using nextPVR with schedules direct on Windows before). Is there a good step by step guide anywhere for how to setup an EPG grabber for tvheadend in unraid?

I'm hoping somebody here can help me out because I've been trying all day with no luck. I live in Indianapolis and I'm trying to setup TVHeadEnd for the first time to get my OTA channels, but for some reason it won't scan my local ATSC-T channels. I think I've setup everything correctly with my Hauppauge quadHD but whenever I perform a scan it doesn't find any channels. I know it should be able to see all the channels because I setup the DVR in Plex and it found 35 channels and they streamed fine.

Sorry for the size of it, my uptime is 113 days right now. syslog.txt

So I went to access my unraid server running 6.3.5 via webui last night and I got the following popup: It gives me the option to Install or Dismiss. If I choose Install, I get the following output: If I click Dismiss I just get the top bar with the Dashboard, Main, Shares, etc. tabs but nothing shows below them and if I click on any of the tabs I just get the Install Statistics Plugin popup again. Therefore I can't access anything via webui. This led me to start troubleshooting and I went to access the flash drive via smb but if I try to do so nothing shows up. I can access all of my array disks and cache disk via smb but not my flash drive so I'm almost positive the boot flash drive is dead, which wouldn't be surprising because I've been using it ever since I initially setup my unraid server 6 years ago. So now I am in completely uncharted territory since I've never had the boot flash drive fail. Can somebody please suggest the next steps to take? The good news is I have a backup of my flash drive from 10 months ago when it was running 6.3.2 and I have screenshot of my array configuration so I should be able to get back up and running without too much set back I'm just not sure the best way of doing that. Since the array is still up and functioning is there anything I can do to try and recover the data off the flash drive? Since unraid transfers everything to RAM during startup, can I safely unplug the flash drive while unraid is running and try it on another computer to see if it's truly dead? If not, how do I safely stop the array and spin down the disks since it probably won't be able to write to the flash drive and I don't have access to webui? Once I've shut down safely, how do I transfer my license to the new flash drive? Is there anything I should be wary of when booting up my 10 month old backup off the new flash drive (I can't remember but I may have added a disk since then so the array config may be different than what's stored on that backup)? Thank you in advance to anyone who helps!

My server running 6.3.5 currently has an uptime of 112 days and I haven't changed anything recently and then out of the blue when I tried to access it tonight I'm getting the following popup in webui: It gives me the option to Install or Dismiss. If I choose Install, I get the following output: If I click Dismiss I just get the top bar with the Dashboard, Main, Shares, etc. tabs but nothing shows below them and if I click on any of the tabs I just get the Install Statistics Plugin popup again. I can still access all of my shares via Windows Explorer but I can't access anything over webui. Can somebody please help?

I just wanted to take a minute and thank the creators and dedicated forum members of this amazing software. I purchased an Unraid license 5 years ago and my array has grown from 3 drives/6TB to 9 drives/41TB with nothing but mostly smooth sailing. Well last night I had my first disk error and after a single read/write error Unraid automatically took that disk offline to prevent any data loss and went into emulated mode. Now it just so happened to be my most crucial disk because it had 10 years of irreplaceable data on it (tax records, work documents, wedding photos, computer backups, etc.) but luckily I had enough free space available on my array and I was able to easily transfer all 2.8TB of data to another disk without losing a single byte. So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved for creating such an amazing piece of software that is extremely easy to use and makes it so I can sleep soundly at night not worrying about losing any data. Easily the best $50 I've ever spent!

I'm having the same problem as tabish121. I was preclearing an 8TB Seagate and it went perfectly through the pre-read and zeroing and then at 95% of the post-read it just stopped and the timer is frozen at 15:09:01 and now unraid shows the disk as spun down. I also noticed that 1 core of my 8 on the cpu is maxing out at 100%.
