But will the 7 pin SATA connector support 12Gbps when connected to a SAS drive like in my use case? Or does a 12Gbps connection require a different cable? I’m thinking the SATA connector is a “bottle neck”. It’s called SATA for a reason but I don’t know and therefore, the reason I’m making this post.

I am trying to google the answer but I don’t I’m uncertain of what I’m finding. Just because SAS drives physically fit in the cage I’m thinking sellers are saying it supports SAS 12Gbps speeds as in the backplane has a the connector for both SATA and SAS drives.

Can SFF cables like SFF-8643 to SATA breakout cables support a 12Gbps connection? Being they connect using a SATA 7 pin connector, wouldn’t that mean it will “work” but at a 6Gbps speed? This is how mine is currently setup: LSI SAS9300-16i —> SFF-8643 to SATA —-> Samsung MZ-ILS3T80 3.84TB SAS SSD inside a NORCO SS-500

What does the UI use when you change "enable docker" to no in docker manager?

Is there a guide to do this?

I'm attempting to make my own backup script. This is my script: /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop && sleep 1m && tar -zcf /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/appdata_backup-$(date +%Y%m%d_T_%H_%M).tar.gz -C /mnt/user/ PC\ Drive && /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start && sleep 3m && find /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/* -mtime +45 -delete This is the output: Tower# /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop && sleep 1m && tar -zcf /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/appdata_backup-$(date +%Y%m%d_T_%H_%M).tar.gz -C /mnt/user/ PC\ Drive && /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start && sleep 3m && find /mnt/remotes/TRUENAS.HOME.ARPA_truenas/appdata_backup_script/* -mtime +45 -delete stopping dockerd ... waiting for docker to die ... starting dockerd ... Tower# It doesn't get past the stoping docker. Can anyone help? This is my first script BTW.

I'm trying to resolve nextcloud.home.arpa locally, to the docker container. I can access nextcloud from anywhere via the my WAN domain. I want an internal domain.

For the past few days I have been attempting to make so that if I type in the browser address bar, for example "nextcloud.home.arpa" pfSense would resolve that domain to a local IP, 10.10.111.3:8666 in this case. I feel it's possible but I can't get it working. I just want to use domains because I can't remember all the IP's and port numbers. Domain override works but you can't enter port numbers.

Yeah I forgot about that tab. It is indeed even slower.

The thing is, there isn't a problem with it being "slow". I was just attempting to see if I could make it "faster" when clicking different tabs and such. The slowest is when I click the docker tab. Again its not a problem per-say but I didn't know if I could move what resource to SSD based storage to make it load a bit snappier.

I added another SSD pool with the intention of putting whatever files the Unraid webUI uses on it to make the webUI pages as fast as possible. What files can I put on the new SSD pool to accomplish this? I'm only aware of the system share but if there are any other files, please let me know?

Thank you

I want to have a 10Gig connection between all 10Gig capable devices on my network without creating any other issues. Currently, pfSense and Unraid are the 10Gig devices persistently connected but I'm anticipating adding another server as a backup. I'm asking what the proper structure of a network should looking like.

If I provision a myunraid.net SSL certificate I can't access my Cloudflare app using cloudflare tunnels. Is it possible to have both work like they should?

Ultimately I'm wanted to know if I have my network setup "correctly"? I have read about "layers" of networks and also about "pyramid" network setups. I'm nearly certain that I'm overthinking it but that's the point of the thread; I'm asking to how should a network be setup? There are going to be folks in the same situation that will be able to search and find this post but this thread is getting off-topic. The reason I added a 10Gig switch is because I'm planning to add a backup server to my network and that requires a fast connection.

Switch Aggregation - https://rb.gy/stzpv Intel X520-DA1 fiber to Unraid X520-DA2 pfSense, switch, Unraid and computer I want a more capable network. Not sure what to make of this?

So right now I'm running a fiber line (10G) from my pfSense box to my switch (Ubiquiti 10G).

I have trying to optimize my network as I feel it might not be the "proper" way to set it up. I'm just looking for some information on where network devices should be placed. I don't understand the levels of a network and that seems to be what I see a lot. For example: should my LAN go directly into my fastest switch then branch off from there to slower devices? Or should it go to slower devices first then the faster devices?

I'm getting into SFP+ switches and NICs and I would like to know how everyone goes about buying these transceivers? I know RJ-45 is not efficient but in certain cases it's required. ie. I need to connect an old 1 GBE switch to my 10G network. I'd like to know what to look for and as I'm finding out now, what transceivers don't heat up so much.? I imagine some have their go to brand but I'm relatively new this area and don't know the ropes per-say. So far I have been buying fs.com transceivers and I have no issues with them but if I can save some $'s maybe the community can share some insight on this?

@JorgeB This is a new thread relating to this https://rb.gy/07pff thread. I thought this should be started in a new thread. I had a pfSense VM running without issue and decided to use some hardware I had laying around to make a dedicated pfSense box. After finally getting the VM to work (explained in linked thread) and pulling the config file, I took out the two port NIC (X520-DA2) and put it into the new setup but it wasn't recognized as an available interface during the pfSense setup. I never got it to work so I decided to take the two port NIC and put back into my Unraid server and take the 1 port (X520-DA1) and put it into the pfSense box and it worked with no problems. So I'm using my onboard (Intel) port for WAN since I only have 1 gig service to my house and the 10G NIC for LAN. When I put the two port NIC back into my Unraid server, that's when I realized that it only works in certain slots (H12SSL-I) but not others. I started from the bottom slot and if it wasn't recognized, I just rebooted the server with it in the higher slot until it was recognized. It ended up being recognized in the 3rd slot from bottom and I just left it there before I lost more hair trying to make sense of it. This is baffling to me. What are your thoughts on this?

I think the 4 ports are enough me especially at the price they are currently at. I can always use a port to add a switch if I need to more 10G. I have my Unraid server, pfSense box, computer and 1 open port to expand if needed. All other clients will get 1G. If I can find a deal on the QSW-M1208-8C, I'm definitely willing to pay a bit more. If I'm overlooking something, feel free to let me know. When I was looking, I found that some are listed as unmanaged and some are managed with the same model number?

Do they ever go on sale? All the ones I can find are $700+

is this router quiet?

I have tried everything I can think of but I cant get this NIC to be recognized.

Now I cant get the same NIC to populate in the new setup. I shutdown the Unraid server pulled the NIC put it in the new one and pfSense doesn't recognize the interfaces. Do I need add a driver? I know this isn't a pfSense forum but it related to this thread and I know a lot of Unraid users use pfSense.
