  1. I tried NUT and this gives the same results, but thanks for the suggestion.
  2. This model firmware v 03.5 is the latest according to APC tech support and the SMC UPS do not support modbus only SMT and SMX UPS models. None of the cable or UPS type settings make any difference. this UPS is one week old and the latest model from APC manufactured in march this year.
  3. So I decided to change my existing UPS an APC BE700G-UK 400w to an APC SMC1000i-2UC 600w as Im running more hardware now and I wanted the extra power. I have always run my old UPS on the default settings of USB for ups cable and USB for ups type and would always get a load reading. The new UPS which is the latest model of smart ups only has a display and a few buttons to change the display to volts or watt reading etc and will not show the load reading. Nominal power, ups load and ups load % just show a blank white line. I have read through the forums and it looks like a few users with this UPS are having issues. I don't get a NOMPOWER or LOAD reading at the bottom of the page and I have tried all the settings, smart, modbus etc. I can't find out of this UPS has modbus built in or if it has if it is turned off, so Im stumped. Its crazy that an £85 UPS works fine but a £550 one won't. Okay my server is very low power and doesn't show anything on the load LCD screen of the UPS or the smart ups software over the internet but APC said this is normal when you have a 600w UPS and are only drawing 50w maximum load, it needs to be higher than 10% load so the software will show that its drawing something. Has anyone actually got this or the 1500i version of this ups to show a load screen. The smart ups software shows the firmware on the UPS as v3.5 and no updates are showing as available.
  4. BradJ did you ever get this working? Im on the latest version of Unraid with the APC SMC1000i-2UC and I can't get any load readings.
  5. It's set to scan automatically and run a partial scan when changes are detected.
  6. Squid I think the docker.img file may have been on disk 5 as you suggested. It crossed my mind so I deleted the docker and downloaded the Plex version of the docker as I was always getting a warning about a newer version being available for download on the plex home interface and I was running the limetech version which probably runs a little behind on updates. Maybe I should have deleted the plex folder from the cache appdata but I didn't and after setting up the paths including Plexpass, disk 5 seems to be spun down. How it would have got onto disk 5 I don't know. Anyhow thanks for the suggestions guys, hopefully it is now sorted. Does anyone still use cache dir these days?
  7. I have 6 x 6TB drives, a 500GB SSD Cache and Im running Plex docker, CA Auto Update, Fix common problems, Community Applications and Dynamix SSD Trim. My Appdata and system are both set to only use the cache disk but Disk 5 won't spin down it is constantly being read and the SSD cache disk written to. Can anyone help with this. Im using XFS and the latest stable version of Unraid 6.6.7. I have checked Disk 5 and all it has is Movies on it. Thanks
  8. Im using a Brontastor Server which has an LCD display and buttons which was originally designed for use with open-e (The display and buttons). Can we add support to use this with regards to temperatures, drive status, capacity used/free etc. www.armari.co.uk Thanks Guys The display is a Crystalfontz 631 LCD, so Unraid would have to provide support for it. https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/usblcddriver https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/linuxexamplecode There is a free linux based monitoring tool available here - http://lcdproc.org/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdproc/files/lcdproc/0.5.6/lcdproc-0.5.6.tar.gz/download in unraid allows you to add stuff to it, you could try to install lcdproc
  9. Thanks for this guys. I got it working on my ASRock E3226D21. and thanks for dgaschk for spotting the typo. Great help.
  10. Thanks Leifgg, thats a great help.
  11. I was thinking about using unraid v6 on my new server and using XFS but I have had concerns about v6 still being in beta. This is the sort of thing I have been worrying about and it would be nice to know what may have caused this.
  12. If you have 16GB by the look of your profile then that is plenty. User shares are designed to work around user names for access and not share names like documents, photos, movies etc. I have my user name set to private and read and write access to all shares. I have another called guest which has only read access to movies and TV Shows for guests staying over. it always takes a few seconds to access my share folders but it takes much longer if Im writing to shares from the same machine and trying to access other shares at the same time. I would have a folder for e-litrature under a documents share and setup a user share for whoever needs access, be it read only or read and write.
  13. It looks fine to me. All the Data disks and parity are green and the new 6TB drive is assigned okay. Start the data rebuild and after it is done do a non correcting parity check to ensure the new data disk was rebuilt okay. Keep your old data disk for now until it has finished the rebuild and you have done a Non Correcting parity check, i.e. untick the box. Any problems you still have the old data disk.
  14. I have one user share for myself and one for guests that is read only. Across my drives I have Movies, Kids Movies, TV Shows and Concerts. All my Movies have a structure like this: Movies/The Hobbit/ The Hobbit - Blu-ray.mkv TV Shows/24/Season 1/24 - 10.00am - 11.00am - Blu-ray.mkv Its works fine for me and I have 24TB.
  15. No Parity check then it was a clean shutdown and is working fine. Unplug the UPS from the mains to test it while at the CLI and see what it says.
  16. Im running UnRAID 5.06 with APCUPS, Dynamix and cache Dirs. Im looking at adding another Openelec box, i5 Intel NUC and the option for using My SQL and possibly PXE boot looks favourable but as I will need to get a SSD for central storage of the My SQL DB and fan art etc Im wondering if I should look at moving to V6 and using the SSD for PXE boot, My SQL DB, docker Apps and fanart storage. I would also move to the XFS file system. My NUC boots off the internal MSATA disk in 10 seconds so how much slower would it be booting over the network and is the fanart, poster loading etc still fast enough. If not I would stay with just internal NUC storage but use My SQL for central storage of the DB and fanart etc, but is it worth a move to V6 beta at the moment or should I wait. Also how big should the SSD be. I know Peter B has a lot of experience in this area so maybe he could give me a few ideas and answers as it all looks very complicated to setup but having a central storage location for my fanart and DB seems like the way to go as at the moment all my fanart, posters etc is stored in my movie folders except one share on unRAID which stores my movie collection fanart, posters and logos.
  17. I think the danioj is correct, I doubt My SQL is running as you are in safe mode so no plugins have been loaded.
  18. Looks like trurl answered your question. I have never installed Apps to anything other than the USB Flash. If you install Apps to another location other than the Usb Key where should you place them trurl?

  20. As I said all my plugins are on my USB flash drive/card. I don't install them anywhere else. Are you saying you install them on a cache drive?. If so then you need help from another user. I know a lot of people install them on the cache drive because of the worry of wearing out the USB key but as I use a USB flash card I don't worry about a cache drive, its not going to make my system any faster as its just a media server and if the flash card fails I just pop in my spare and buy another without the worry of having to contact Tom for another license code for a new USB key.
  21. It depends how long the power was off for, if it was only off for a few minutes then it would not have shutdown. The default time is run for 5 minutes on Battery. If it was longer than that then it must have shutdown. I have my server bios set to not restart after a power failure but you must have it set to restart, unless you done it manually. There is an advanced info section in the APC plugin that shows you information about the last shutdown. If after a restart it didn't run a parity check then it must be okay. I tested mine by unplugging the UPS from the mains while watching the unraid command and it shows it stopping and unloading the array, and then shutting down.
  22. You need to start it in safe mode with no plugins. If you are having problems with hanging in safe mode then you have a hardware problem. Run memtest to see if thats okay.
