Just wanted to share the HP Gen 8 microserver offered on EBay. The seller offers 90-day return policy. The server works perfectly and has bios and iLO firmware updated. You will need to find drive caddies and front door if you want but other than that this is a great Unraid platform. Highly recommend. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305052253909 Bill

Can you download the syslog?

Thank you for helping. Plus I learned something new about using ssh with rsync. Bill

It appears there is something in the Photos share that rsync does NOT like. Perhaps something got corrupted, I don't know. So what I have done is copy all the files from the Photos share to another share (test-photos). Then I renamed the Photos share to "Old-Share-For-Photos" and removed it from export ability. Then I renamed my "test-photos" to "Photos". I will just move on......

I have some interesting clues. Today, I used rsync to copy all the files from my Photos share to a newly created share (test-photos) on the same Prime server. I successfully copies them and successfully used the --delete option. Then I tried to copy all the files from my Prime server share "test-photos" to my Backup server (Secondary) rsync -avh /mnt/user/test-photos /mnt/remotes/Z-SECONDARY_test/Photos --delete This ran with no errors.

rsync -avh /mnt/user/Photos/ [email protected]:/mnt/user/Area-for-Prime-BU/Photos Finally got around to trying this command and it worked great. Yes 209G is correct. I'm gonna copy the pictures on my Prime server to a test area - if I lose these pictures my wife will kick me in my b@lls. LOL

rsync over ssh is way over my head - let me see if I can figure out how the heck to do that. Thanks, Bill

rsync without the delete works. I'm a little confused on why rsync only lists 5 folders - I must have several hundred folders in the Photos share. But it did work.

All the shares on both server WERE set to High Water. I have since changed them all to Fill-Up and will re-test Results after changing all shares to Fill-up: same results rsync: [receiver] write failed on "/root/==delete/Photos/2004/Microsoft Clip Organizer/2005/2005-Yellowstone/2005-06-12-155132.JPG": No space left on device (28)

SMB shares from Secondary server

Here is a screen shot of my drives:

That was my bad - I copied my command incorrectly. It was -- delete rsync -avh /mnt/user/Photos /mnt/remotes/Z-SECONDARY_test --delete I will correct my post - thanks.

I've been running Unraid on 2 HP microserver: Z-Prime and Z-Secondary. I use the Z-Secondary for testing. And I wanted to get some experience running rsync but ran into this: rsync: [receiver] write failed on "/root/==delete/Photos/2004/Microsoft Clip Organizer/2005/2005-Yellowstone/2005-06-14-083555.JPG": No space left on device (28) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(380) [receiver=3.2.7] rsync: [sender] write error: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at io.c(848) [sender=3.2.7] Here is the command I entered: root@Z-PRIME:~# rsync -avh /mnt/user/Photos /mnt/remotes/Z-SECONDARY_test --delete Background: 2 Unraid servers running 6.12.3. The Z-Prime server is an HP microsever gen 8, the Z-Secondary is an HP microserver Gen 7 The share Photos is set primary storage Cache, secondary Array, High Water The share test is set primary storage Array, Fill-up. It looks to me that it is trying to delete a file on the Prime server but can't find room but from what I can tell there is plenty. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Short Story: I wish I had discovered Unraid 2 years ago! Long Story: Background: I've had an HP Mediasmart Server EX-485 for many years. Last year I decided that it was time to upgrade. I bought a used HP Gen 7 Microserver and proceeded to build a Windows Home Server 2012 using StableBit DrivePool and StableBit Scanner. I kept using the HP Mediasmart as a backup NAS but it was really time to dump it. 2 weeks ago: I "discovered" Unraid. Downloaded the trial and used the HP Mediasmart as my test bed. I was absolutely amazed at how easy it was to get the server up and running. All I want or need is a NAS box. After 2-3 days of playing around I purchased the Unraid license and started looking for a new server box. 1 week ago: I found a used HP Microserver Gen 8 from a very nice guy in Texas. 2 days ago: I simply moved the USB stick from the Mediasmart to the internal USB port on the Gen 8 and moved the drives from one box to the other. That is all I did. The new server came up immediately - I was pleasantly amazed. Present day: I have tons to learn. I did learn the importance of having a parity drive. And I've just started to look at the software community. My next venture will be to add an SSD cache to the Gen 8 box. I just wanted to share my little story and how pleased I am to find Unraid. I'm 73 years old and only mildly technical - if I can build an Unraid NAS anyone can! Thanks for reading Bill
