Is there a way to update from the latest stable version to the beta version without uninstalling and losing all my settings?

To answer the last question first I started using NFS with Windows 11 because of my issues with SMB. It’s not a new install- and I’m using my NAS solely as a media server. I think this problem started happening one or two updates ago, maybe when I first started going the non-stable branch route. I’m also having issues with the File Manager pluggin- I’m not sure if all these problems are related. I’ll take some screenshots later- I’m also unsure if all my issues are solely with files created thr NZBGet docker. I’ll try and write some files to the NAS from another source and see if they’re visible over SMB. The file names have no special characters and appear to be completely valid.

Tried that and it seems to make no difference even if everything on each share/drive is full permissions, all new files/folders just aren’t seen on all my shares.

Not sure what’s happening here- I see the files on my shares from the Unraid GUI and are even able to copy them with the File Manager, but whenever I look at my SMB share from another device I only see older files. Any ideas? Also, probably a separate issue, but all of a sudden from Windows 11 on my NFS shares I am getting a “Need permission from Everybody” error when I try to copy files. monster-diagnostics-20230625-1315.zip

DFM is totally borked for me under 6.12. Anything I do hangs up DFM- if I try to refresh the webgui takes a while to reload- sometimes the action (ie- rename) is completed, other times not. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling DFM, but it didn’t help. Anyone else experiencing this?

I want to give you a huge thanks here- I don't really use my UnRaid server other than to manage a lot of rather large media files, and without the internal file utility it is pretty much useless to me. Rather than transfer one file at a time, wait 15mins, then transfer another I can setup all my jobs at once and walk away. This is what makes the UnRaid community special- on other NAS suites I'd have to run a docker to do the same thing, and this is so much easier and takes up a lot less resources.

What does the "sparse" option do?

I recently swapped out a ConnectX3 to a Solarflare S7120. The Solarflare works fine, both ports showed up but now I'm having problems with DNS resolving properly. I tried swapping ETH0 and ETH1 multiple times, I'm pretty sure I have it configured properly. It was working fine for a little while after I changed the port's MTU to 9000, but I powered down and now I'm having some strange problem. On one port I can access Unraid through http://monster.local/ on the other port I can access my server through http://192.168.50.2/ (static address). Only the port that works with //monster.local can resolve DNS, but that's not particularly helpful because I need the static address to work so I can get Docker working properly (among other things). I can see on my router's status page that ETH0 is showing up as 192.168.50.2 (but can't be accessed) and (even more strange) there's a dynamic Unraid entry for 192.168.50.238 that I think is the MAC address of the ConnectX3 (which isn't in my setup at all anymore). It could be something else, but that MAC address is definitely not currently in my setup. Any ideas? BTW, I picked up the Solarflare for $15 off eBay and I actually think it's slightly faster on my setup than the ConnectX3 (which cost me double). monster-diagnostics-20230131-2343.zip

Smart extended test seemed to be OK. I disconnected the Mediasonic external drive bay, rebooted, and now everything looks good. I suspect it's the USB controller. It's been a bit flakey and as I said it takes forever to boot/shutdown with the drive bay connected. The disabled drive is empty, all of my data is still on Disk 1, it's not even full yet. Should I reconstruct the array anyways? What's the best way to re-enable the drive? monster-diagnostics-20221101-1548.zip

I noticed that. I think it's just the tower in general. Old Lenovo setup- I upgraded to a Seasonic 650W PS which should be more than enough for 4 drives and I run them right off the PS. I'll recheck, I don't think I'm splitting them. It's possible those drives are on the same power cable. I don't expect there is anything wrong with the drives. It might have something to do with the SATA/USB controller- it takes forever for the system to post when the USB bay is plugged in. Extended SMART self test on the drive seem to be working now so I'm running it. I'm going to upgrade my main PC eventually and migrate my Unraid array to my old one.

Disk 3 in my array is disabled. It's a relatively new array, with new drives, and SMART shows them all to be healthy- although the SMART Extended test seems to end within secs of me starting, I'm not sure why. It could be the controller, I'm not sure. The Unassigned Devices are in a USB Mediasonic drive bay I intend on copying over, I don't think that would cause a problem but the bay isn't always recognized by the array on reboot for some reason. monster-diagnostics-20221101-0721.zip

I agree, this app is great. It's a nice and quick way of transfering files within the NAS. I use my Unraid setup as a very basic media server so I use this plugin quite a lot to move files around.

Would really like a queue option- so you can add multiple jobs to the queue after the first has started rather than just one action at a time.

New build, I have Pairty set for the 1st of the month and I notice it’s been “stuck” around 35% for the last few days. I have no error messages, it just seems to be paused there for whatever reason. How do I resolve this?

Having the same exact issue. FIOS Gigabit connection, downloads to my Win10 machine ~110MB/s, yet to my new Unraid build I'm limited to 60MB/s with dockers writing to an NVME drive. 6.10.0-rc2. New build. I haven't paid for a license yet- I really like Unraid, but if I can't resolve this issue in the 5 days left of my free trial I'll have to move on to something else.
