Unless you are having issues, I wouldn't go through the trouble. A wired connection can run fine with any additional overhead that samba might have.

I've got a Biostar A760G M2+ board that has a Realtek 8111C built-in and when I try upgraded to RC9 from RC8 I no longer have network.

Nope, for me that's not the problem. Because I can write to my shares (however files are now getting written with that user as owner which should not be happening, should be set to owner of nobody) and it is only certain files that I cannot overwrite/delete.

It's an issue with the SAMBA version included with rc8a. See the rc8a announcement thread for more talk about it. There is a current workaround by manually installing a different version. It's in this thread where the discussion is: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=22604.0

I've experienced the issue with deleting files through SAMBA and the problem has exhibited itself when I try to delete the file through both a user share and a disk share. Also, I'm able to delete when I telnet into my unraid box through /mnt/user/sharename/file However I noticed something strange... when I do that and then rewrite the file through SAMBA, the owner of the file (instead of being root or nobody, I forget which it is supposed to be offhand) that particular file will actually be set to the actual user I used to write the file as the owner.

Not quiet fair to blame poor planning when the unraid wiki makes build recommendations with boards that have a realtech nic built in: budget build for example http://www.lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Compatibility#Recommended_Builds

I just followed the upgrade method posted by limetech from 4.7 to 5.0RC4 and all went well.

Yeah, I noticed that, must be something with windows but my script doesnt have the problem, built it using vi.

OK, used this post to get things setup, made one change, I replaced "/usr/local/sbin/mover" with "/bin/sync" since i don't have a cache drive and this way the discs sync before sleeping. So, if I understand this correctly, with my script config, if none of my 4 media clients are on and all the hard drives are spun down (I have my drives set to spin down after 1 hour), my unraid box will go to sleep. Do I have the correct logic? s3.txt

Ok, forgive me if this seems elementary but new to scripting. So I've got my server working with S3 sleep and all my xbmc boxes are now configured to wake the server when they come out of sleep. I've testing sleep using the sleep script in unmenu. So what I'd like to do is configure my unraid box to go to sleep after say about 2 hours of inactivity. Do I have to put the script in one of the cron folders? Also, how do I configure things so the box doesnt sleep when doing things like a parity check or when something is streaming from it or I'm writing to it? Just trying to automate all this and this should be the last step.
