    Could this docker be run on a server that doesn't have an RTL-SDR installed? Ie: I have my main computer i work on, and then my unraid server which is stored in a server closet. My HT is in my main room which i hook up to my UHF/VHF antenna from time to time. Could i connect my antenna cable to the RTL-SDR on my system and send the data to the docker while my main system is online?

    Unraid Calculator

    Please correct the calculator, it is not usable as is, the number of parity drives is not limited to 2, and it allows invalid configurations to be entered. If someone is relying on it for accurate results they will be disappointed when Unraid won't allow them to configure their array as depicted on your page.

    If you first fill out the Number of Drives section to reflect number of parity and data drives and then fill out section 2 for the sizes and then calculate....it works....image.thumb.png.4e15d36ddfe6ba888b4993852a4e0984.png

    You have to have enabled Exclusive shares under Settings->Global Share settings, and addition there must be no remaining files and/or folders relating to the share on anything other than the pool set as Primary Storage. 

    Thanks got that done, Ill update my original post with your helpful info...

    So what are the benefits to doing this?

    There is (optionally) a step 8 where the appdata share is set to use Exclusive mode to improve performance..

    Cool thanks! I just wanted to throw this together so hopefully some poor soul in the same situation has a solution. With the wording change of the Share options no longer saying "prefer" i figured a step by step with updated language might help

    Added info

    So I have been on a mission to optimize my Unraid setup. Final action that I need to complete is moving my docker containers to the cache drive(as recommended by "Fix Common Issues").

     

    I found this thread which I think is the right course of action for me...with some modified steps below:

     

    1. Stop all running Dockers
    2. Settings -> Docker: disable Docker and click apply
    3. From the shares tab, click on the appdata share. Set Primary storage to by Cache. Set Secondary Storage to Array. Mover action set to: Array --> Cache.
    4. Check that there's enough free space on the array and invoke the mover by clicking "Move Now" on the Main page
    5. When the mover finishes check that your cache has all the data.
    6. Start dockers
    7. From the shares tab, click on the appdata share. Set Primary storage to by Cache. Set Secondary Storage to None.
      1. Running backups of my appdata folder on a schedule
    8. (Optional) - Enabled Exclusive shares under Settings->Global Share settings (thanks to @itimpi for this info)

    6.12.3 - bzfirmware Checksum error

    in General Support

    Posted

    So yesterday I was updating some dockers and items in my system. I am on 6.12 and 6.12.3 was available for update. Never had any issues with the stable release updates in the past. Well this one downloaded and went to reboot. Never came up so had to dig out a monitor to hook up to the unit to check, and got a firmware checksum error. Hit Enter to reboot and same issue.

     

    Ultimately I had to revert back to my 6.11 backup. Seems like 6.12.3 needs some more polishing.
