  1. Ok... I'm trying to get Plex up and running and could use some help :)  It's a little more complicated than the Windows install!  I just don't understand the config at all for installing the docker package.  What goes in Container Volume and Host path?  I have my videos in a share called "Videos" and then each one is in it's own folder underneath.  Thanks for any help.

    Still to this day - 1 year on almost - so happy with these drives. Still don't understand those who are not choosing these for Parity drives and or are choosing H/W RAID1 (2 x 4TB) to work as Parity! They are just perfect for unRAID as a Data or Parity disk IMHO!

     

    Because I'm an idiot that thought I needed 7200RPM ;)  Honestly with the problems I'm having with the controller card I'm going to pull the 4TB drives and use an 8TB as the parity and then fill the other 3 Silverstone bays with 8TB as well.  56TB with parity is craaaazy in such a small space.

  3. I've got a 4 post controller card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115114) that shows fine in the BIOS.  I can see the drives and all appears good.  unRaid however isn't seeing any of the attached storage devices.  I'm guessing it's driver related?  Anyone have any advice on what I can do for this?  Is there any way to get it recognized or do I need a different card (and if so what card).

     

    Thanks,

  4. I'm building a new unRaid server to replace my old stable one (that of course went boom a few days ago before I could finish this one!) and having an issue.  I'm using an ASRock E3C226D2I Mini ITX Server Motherboard with known good supported RAM and a Intel Xeon E3-1231V3.  I can't get past the system startup.  Never even get tot he BIOS screen as far as I can tell, it's obviously not happy about something.  I tore it apart and checked the CPU pins, it all looked good.  Reset all the wires and tested the RAM in another system, no problems.  I don't have another board to test the CPU with so I'm stuck between it being a CPU issue and a MB issue.  ASRock support is of course saying it's the CPU ;).  Any ideas which is the more likely?

  5. Yes on the BIOS for the controller cards they each actually show as detected without issue.  I'm guessing it's a controller problem.  I agree that the disks should be recoverable, once the new system is up I'll pop them one by one in an external enclosure and copy them over I guess.  Just a pain in the ass while I figure out why my new one isn't working either ;)  Got a hardware issue somewhere.

  6. My poor unRaid went boom last night.  When we recovered from a power outage things didn't spin up too well :(  It went down gracefully (I use a UPS) but when it came back up 6 of the 14 drives are saying they are missing.  I'm not sure why, they all show on the controller cards.  I tried rebooting again and got the same.  It's still running on unRaid 4.7.  I was in the middle of building my replacement box for it but having some issues with the new build.  Sooo... I'm guessing I will need to pop the drives and manually try to recover them one by one once I get my new box up and running? 

  7. Ordered 5 to go with 2 of the 4gb HGST and a 500GB SSD Cache drive to go in a Silverstone DS380B.  Still have room for 1 more 8TB.  That will put me at 48TB, more than what I have in my current Norco 4224 fully populated with 2TB drives ;)  The Norco can become a backup/offload server I guess.  It's ticked along for so many years I feel bad putting her out to pasture!
