or are there another way to install Collabora on unRAID?
Just quoting myself - just got it up and running..
first, you can add Collabora docker from CA Applications with docker-hub search enabled. then just follow this instructions to see which ports/setting you need to add: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/
for me it works only on with separate sub-domains for Nextcloud and Collabora. e.g. at first i installed NextCloud at for example mydomain.com/nextcloud, and tried install collabora with similar sheme with no luck. then i moved Nextcloud to nextcloud.mydomain.com and Collabora to office.mydomain.com. You need to activate Nextcloud Collabora application and point to Collabora URL to bind them together. And then everything looks like working as expected.

I find my unraid 6.3.2 vmdk on esxi 5.5 totally unresponsive once a week with this message on the console. Any ideas fellow raiders?
maybe get rid of Riserfs and switch to XFS...

Hi, just installed Nextcloud, and it seems to work ok..
had some permission issues with data folder mounted with UD from another NFS server, so switched data folder to unRAID and looks like it works..
Any chances to get Collabora Docker? just find another request, but looks like nobody answers it..
or are there another way to install Collabora on unRAID?

Hmmm, latest slackware is v14.2 (which apparently is what unRAID is based upon), but that release is 9 months old, and has kernel 4.4.14. I guess Lime-Tech is doing some significant upgrades under the hood.
If anyone would like to recommend a distro running 4.9.10 for me to test, I'm listening.

i'm on Ubuntu, so you can install Ubuntu 16.04 for example and then update it to kernel 4.9. Instructions here: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/12/install-linux-kernel-4-9-ubuntu-linux-mint/
i did it in my test environment many times to compare hardware compatibility to unRAID..

if you are talking about prices, can you compare these Seagates? (these prices are EUR in Latvia/Europe) :
- Archive HDD ST8000AS0002 - 305 EUR
- SkyHawk Surveillance HDD ST8000VX0022 - 305 EUR
- IronWolf ST8000VN0022 - 310 EUR
- Desktop HDD ST8000DM002 - 330 EUR
Archive and Desktop are 5900RPM, while Skyhawk and Ironwolf are 7200RPM..
if you wanna low rpm PMR, then Desktop only..

First, thanks TheOne for a great plugin.. seen this one long before, but installed it today for first time..
looks like all devices are displayed ok.. some questions:
- i'm running unRAID on top of ESXi. it will be cool to manage all server hdd's in this cool plugin - so, are there an easy way to add devices manually?
- my cache drive is RAID1 array and occupies 2 slots. any ideas how to add one device to two slots or maybe another idea ?
thanks again for plugin!

Hi @theone, i'm quoting myself, may be you have and interest to develop something like that?

I lied. I don't have two EPS-12V connections on my old PSU. Just one; so I can't test.
As Gary noted, you can test it with both PSU - one PSU to each CPU. Just place second PSU near your server outside for testing..

The keying is different on PCIe and EPS-12v connectors -- there's NO chance of using the wrong ones
thanks, if i remember correctly, i had some reading somewhere when people are bricked their boards when connecting PCIe to EPS..
Edit: i'm talking about modular PSU - on the PSU side connectors are equal in most cases..
But i have offsite backup computer with PSU that dont have dual EPS connector - and i used then a transition from PCIe to EPS and it works fine.
-
Your Athena PSU have:
- EPS-12V 8 Pin x 2
- PCIE 6 + 2 Pin x 2
you need those EPS ones, they looks very similar..
-
How do you connect power cables form your PSU to the motherboard?
for dual CPU you usually need two separate cables - 24pin and another 8pin designed for CPU.
another idea is RAM - try to boot with both CPU and one RAM stick for each one.
on my Supermicro board i tried several ram slot combinations until it boots fine and sees all sticks..

Bad place to ask, but now that I have the tools installed, I had chosen FreeBSD 64-bit as the OS in ESXI, and now it is telling me to select the correct one, any suggestions as to what to select? It had said Linux 4.9.10-unRAID Slackware 14.2.
After a restart, it doesn't seem to give me the same warning. So maybe it's good now.
i think, your choice "FreeBSD 64-bit" is OK. if everything works then no probs.
unRAID is custom kernel build based on Slackware, so there will be no such option in ESXi to choose.

i bought mine (RPC-4224) from here(http://ri-vier.eu/) long time ago.. looks like they no more imports them from US.. but may be you can find something else useful..
-
@uldise - I'm not sure why yours works and mine doesnt. do you have the UPS passes thru to the vm also. I know that workaround was working for some. Have you checked your ESXI logs to verify no warnings/errors?
i have UPS usb plugged in to host, but not pass thru to unRAID.
looked at esxi logs, nothing obvious..
Does anyone know what is in the "ldlinux.sys" file or how it works?
it's part of the syslinux boot loader. see here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/puppy-71/ldlinux-sys-what-does-it-do-942097/
according to this,
"At boot, the computer loads the MBR (/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin). Then the MBR looks for the partition that is marked as active (boot flag). Once found, the volume boot record (VBR) will be executed. In the case of ext2/3/4 and fat12/16/32, the starting sector of ldlinux.sys is hard-coded into the VBR. "
looks like something with your flash as it can't read this sector?

Thanks Uldise, good to know.
Did you upgrade or clean install to 6.5?
I'm going to try to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.5 (instead of clean install) to see if that fixes my issues.
will let you know how i make out.
i'm upgrade it from 6.0 via procedure described here for example: http://www.v-front.de/2014/03/how-to-update-your-standalone-host-to.html

That's not possible, I'm using 10GbE, but some disks, especially the WD can't get to gigabit max speed (~114MB/s) without Direct_IO enable (when copying from a user share).
ok, thanks, got it..
another option to overcome some network limitations is traffic compression..
i'm using it with rsync when doing offsite backups - it almost doubles my 100Mbit internet connection speed..
i never tested it with LAN.. is traffic compression available for plain samba/nfs?
-
please let me know if anyone gets esxi 6.5 working well on supermicro x9scm board.
thanks.
hmm, i have the same X9scm-iif board on my test server, all 5 hdd's are connected to the board.. and no problems..
-
Forgot to add that in some circumstances Direct_IO can provide better performance even for gigabit users (only when copying from a user share), I've found that some disks won't deliver full gigabit speed with Direct_IO disable, some examples below (with SMB set to 2.0.2 due to the current issues with SMB3).
disk1 - Toshiba DT01ACA100 (7200rpm)
disk2 - Seagate ST1000DM003 (7200rpm)
disk3 - Samsung HD204UI (5400rpm)
disk4 - WD Purple WD10PURX (5400rpm)
so, you say, you can overcome 1Gbit almost 1.5x with Direct_IO on? 200MB/s - it's about 1.6Gbit...

No VMware tools pre installed?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
it can't be preinstalled.. every time unRAID boots up, it installs all plugins again from flash.
you can install open vmware tools from here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38279.0

Hi,
i just tried new esxi 6.5 on my test server, and for me this issue is gone for both unRAID 6.2.4 and 6.3RC5..
i removed my old HP P400 from my test server as well as it won't come up with new esxi, looks like not supported anymore.
can anyone else try this just to confirm this issue is really gone?
-
UnRaid all from V6 up to the latest one V6.2.3. are giving the same issues. every second day that problem pops up . All other VMs work fine except from UnRaid.
What ESXI versions are you guys using? I'm on v6 running on a X9SCM MB
on production server esxi 5.5, on test server 6.0 with the same MB (X9SCM-iif) - the problem are the same for both servers.
-
I'm not sure what you mean "unassigned devices plugin". Can you provide additional info on how to configure this? Attached is an image of the ESXi settings screen for my VM.
your esxi VM configuration looks ok for me.. boot on unRAID and then install unassigned devices plugin(see here for more info: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45807.0). then you can mount your second usb with this plugin in unRAID.

I upgrade from unRAID 5.0.4 to 6.1.7 back in January with no issues what so ever. In fact the system has been rock solid for the last 10 months. The last few weeks I have tried to upgrade to 6.2.1, 6.2.2, and 6.2.3, but the WEB GUI is extremely slow to the point of being unusable. With 6.2.1 or 6.2.3 it typically takes 2 to 3 minutes for one of the unRAID menu pages to refresh (Main, Plugins, Stats, Tools, etc.).
I was getting the “usb 1-1: reset” error so I tried adding a second USB to my 6.2.3 configuration as others have tried. It no longer has the “usb 1-1:reset” errors, but the WEB GUI is still extremely slow to the point of being unusable.
Current setup:
Motherboard - SuperMicro X9SCM-F
ESXi version 6.0.0 - build 4510822
unRAID boots off a VMDK drive
Guest Operating System setting in ESXi – I have tried both Ubuntu Linux (32-bit) and (64-bit)
I am attaching the log file that was collected with 2 USB sticks configured for the VM. It is not showing the “usb 1-1: reset” error, but the system is still unusable.
did you mount this second usb with unassigned devices plugin for example?
maybe that will make some changes...

Ever since i migrated from v5 to v6, my Virtualised Unraid keeps crashing:
Meaning:
- Gui stop responding
- SMB shares stop
- SSH stops
- ping works
- can login via VSphere client
- "Reboot" or "Shutdown -r" commandline fails to reboot the Unraid. it starts executing but just hangs
- Happens almost every second day
Anyone experiencing such? .. so frustrating..
which unRAID v6 version are you using?
mine is running fine with 6.1.9.
- Gui stop responding

So just to confirm -- After I download the plopkexec iso image, and put it on my ESXi server, all I need to do is change the particular virtual machine setting for CD/DVD Drive 1 to use the new ISO image, and no longer use the plpbtmycd.iso file, correct?
i think so..
I've got multiple USB memory sticks in my server -- will it give me a chance to find the correct one, or does this use the USB 1 field, as I currently have it defined with the existing PLOP configuration?
Thanks,
John
i hope so, but i have no config with multiple flash devices, so just give it a try
cache_dirs - an attempt to keep directory entries in RAM to prevent disk spin-up
in User Customizations

Hi, and sorry if this was asked and answered before.
i have all disk spin-ups with cache dirs enabled and massive read from one of the disks. for example, i have a cron job that backups some huge VM's files to my backup server. after some time all other disks spun up too. i think it's related to cache dirs, since when i disable it, all other disks spun down after 30 min. i tried RobJ's suggested vm.dirty* setting change mentioned here with no luck.. are there another suggestion's how to prevent disk spin-ups? i changed RAM size for unRAID to 8GB recently and still no joy..
