Yeah I think that's how it worked in previous unRAID versions. But in 6, I don't have the option of manually editing that field. How can I test this in unRAID 6?

Your question does not help my problem in any way but I'll answer it anyway. Disk4 is for the shares that usually get updated daily (btsync, dropbox, developement files, etc), Disk1 is my "backup" share wich is updated rarely and has extra space, disk2 and disk3 are for all my multimedia files (movies, tv shows, music, photos, etc). There, now you know my layout. The point is I want the array to only need to spin up disk4 and parity when these disk4 shares are used. The other three disks are used far less. My understanding of the "Fill-up" mode was that it would continue putting new files on to the disk that has the share, and then expand to another disk when the original is full. It doesn't appear to be doing this.

I would like one of my shares confined to disk4 until it is nearly full and then move on to disk1. But every time the mover moves the new additions off the cache drive it recreates the share on disk1 and moves it there. My settings for the share are; Fill-up, min free=5GB, included disks=disk1,disk4. Is there no way to have it this way? I guess the workaround would be to remove disk1 as an included disk and just make sure disk4 never gets full?

BTSync 2.0.82 Crap ok, thanks for the answer Save me the trouble of updating to find out it doesn't work with anything anymore.

Thanks for the replies and info. Since you responded, gfjardim, I am wanting to back up your btsync container before upgrading in case it upgrades to sync 2.0. Sync 2.0 is incompatible with the old 1.4 clients which all my other devices run. Which version does it update to?

Is it possible to back up my existing docker before updating it? As it runs on btrfs, can I just snapshot it somehow?

I am just curious why there is an included and an excluded disk list in share options. Isn't having both of these redundant? It seems if I include certain disks then it should mean the remaining are excluded should it not? Just curious as having these two redundant options really confuses me. Is there something I am missing?

Something ran out of space......Is your flash drive full?

Is your Dropbox staying linked on restart? I have to go to the dropbox website and allow access to my unraid server every time I restart the dropbox docker. How can I fix this? Also, the plugin version of dropbox will tell you whether it is indexing/syncing/idle, how do you find this out with the docker?

That is an awesome post WeeboTech, you should sticky that somewhere with best practices for moving files between disks.

Too bad, the web gui dieing and everything else still working has been a problem since way back in the 4.0 days. It is still an issue on 6.0b14. There needs to be a way to restart it as everything else remains working just fine (ssh, samba, etc).

I would recommend against using "--remove-source-files" as you will be formatting the drive at the end anyway. No need to delete the originating drive. That way you can compare the sizes of the two drives just before you format it to make sure sizes are about the same. That's the way I'm doing it but I am using this command: rsync -ac --progress /mnt/user/disk/* /mnt/user/disk2/

Haha I get it, because House is your avatar. lol.

Sorry for the delay, here are the two command outputs attached. 1.txt 2.txt

That's a good idea considering the app tells you when there is a newer version out anyway.

Every time I launch this Dropbox docker I have to reconnect it to my dropbox account.

I am trying to get btsync working but have a few questions. I first tried the one from the hurricane repository. Certain settings such as enabling upnp would not stay on. BTSync would just disable that option again - I assume it is broken in his build? Then I tried gfjardim's which seems to work a little better. The upnp setting stays on. I had set it up in host networking mode but it still lists port mappings on the docker page. Why is it doing this when that is not the way I set it up? Any way to remove these port mappings and put it in host mode? Also, both were telling me the btsync app is outdated. How can I tell it to update btsync when a new version is out? EDIT: Just learned they went pay on this app. Guess people will stop using it.

Quick question, how do I prevent the mover from moving my docker.img off the cache drive? Does it still ignore .files? Should I create a specific file name or folder for the image? Also, why store all the config files on a user share? Wouldn't that prevent your drives from spinning down? I'm new to this docker thing so forgive me if I missed something.

Please post the result of this command: find -L /sys/class/hwmon/ -maxdepth 5 -iname "pwm[0-9]" 2>/dev/null Here you go: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm3 Those are the three possible pwm controls from my it87 board.

This is not possible the way kernel and module versioning work, unless I want to bypass the checks which is something I would recommend never doing. In any case, it87 has been included in unraid for a while now and there is no need for me to compile my own module anymore.

Slight bug in the Temp plugin. When my fan is off and should be showing 0rpm, I get "##rpm" at the bottom of the web gui. Also, while the fan is off, if I go to that plugin's settings page the fan field will show "Not Used". Othwise if I set my fan to any speed other than 0, it will show up at the bottom as well as in the settings page. It appears that the plugin is auto-hiding any fans that are powered down or appear not connected. Wouldn't it be more useful to have all possibilities listed and then let the user pick the correct one? But main issue is the "##?rpm" erroneously showing at the bottom when it should be "0 rpm". I love the work you have put in to this web interface and hope that helps!

Yes. You have to make sure that the appropriate drivers for your motherboard are loaded, then autodection should work. I'm using the plugin and it is working well for me. Thanks PeterB, as stated I am using my script still which implies I already have the module loaded and can control my fan on this system I even listed my fan device "/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2". I'll look around at this plugin and see if I can fix it because having it in the web gui is an awesome idea!

This autofan plugin looks like it should work similar to a script I wrote several years ago to control the fan based on hdd temps. Is that what it is supposed to do? I installed it but it will not detect my fan (/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm2). Would be really nice to have this in the web gui, I guess this addon is still a work in progress? Until then I guess I'll stick with my script.

Wow thanks for all the replies guys. Got 5 people saying the same thing over and over again lol. To answer the question on why I zapped the partition tables (zap through gdisk, basically deleting it all). That disk was still showing as mbr-unaligned and it was the only way to get it aligned again as simply formatting to btrfs through the web gui did not change it. OCD I know I was also thinking the web gui might change it over to gpt on a fresh new format but I was mistaken. I guess it doesn't for 2tb drives. For the other disks I'll change them as you guys state, only through the web interface, as to not invalidate parity. Thanks again! EDIT: Man, it's checking and correcting parity at 11MB/sec and will finish in 3 days. Is there no way to make it go faster? I seem to remember the initial parity build being faster.
