If anyone is using large fileio images in the future with Windows NTFS make sure you uncheck 'quick format' when formatting. Takes a lot longer but unraid see's the total space as used. Formatting NTFS at ~110 MB/s right now. If you use quick format Unraid only accounts for the directory structure size until you start to fill it up. Which in some circumstances might be nice, but your image could run out of space if unraid fills the drive with other shares. I think the plan is to restrict all imgs to one drive and leave as fileio, that way I have parity protection. Main reason I'm using iscsi is for sons game collection (Steam) doesn't like network shares.

Ya, it doesn't seem right. all fileio img's are formatted NTFS. On a 3TB (disk3) unraid has a 1TB img, 1.9TB img, 537GB img and other shares. Disk3 says it still has 1.83TB free, it doesn't add up. When browsing disk3 all img file sizes are correct. I didn't know you could basically mount an existing drive as iscsi, thats cool. I have a 4TB drive I could set as block, but it wouldn't be parity protected. If I did that I might as well just mount it in my sons PC. Just looking for any reason to use unraid.

Hey guys, I've been using Unraid for a couple months and set up a few fileio luns but have a question... I notice fileio seems to thin provision the img. Unraid does not mark the space as used until the fileio is actually filling up. If anyone is using fileio are you putting them on a separate drive or is everyone using block?

I had something like this happen, in my case it was caused by my pci/e sata card disappearing and taking the drives with it. I had 3 of my 5 array disks on that card. I ran the fixes you did and only lost one share, had to restore from a second backup. Well, I shouldn't say 'lost' the files were put in a 'lost and found' directory but without proper names so they were useless (my sons steam games, was just 100's of random files) Not unraid's fault. Good reason to always have at least a second backup. Not sure if you're using an add in card.

comet424 New to the forum, so not sure if this has been discussed a lot but my NAS always has cpu problems with linux. I've had problems with 1 or two cores stuck at 100% usage, tracked it to usb auto suspend. usbcore.autosuspend=-1 disables autosuspend and after reboot its back to normal.
