I could send you some results if you describe a little further. i9-12900T here.
4k h264 -> 4k transcode? or 4k h265 -> 4k transcode?
As far as i tested for my needs, it can handle a lot! 4 streams at once from 4k h265 -> 4k h264 transcode without any problem.
Send me some infos.
thank you. Typically 4k h265 HDR to 4k h264 -> don't see a reason to go lower
Following the thread at a clance it seems tone mapping only recently started working.
any detail is welcome! thank you sir
-
can anyone confirm how many 4k transcodes the 12900 can handle?
seeing mixed results online, and are looking to see if what combination of hardware would give a cost effective amount of streams. Power usage not that important (<400watt under load should be fine)
my alternativate would be to rather go nvidia gpu, but then HDR tone mapping needs to be supported

hi guys
just checking if this is normal behaviour :
somehow, when mover is activated, it writes to multiple drives at the same time. i don't think multiple drive writes is good, especially for the resulting write to parity.
any ideas what could cause this?
*i understand this might not be related to the scheduler plugin at all -> let me know if it should be moved. -
Running in a bit of a challenge here, where mover only seems to move a certain percentage of files.
Expected operation -> cache share hits 95% usage, mover then moves all files to array. In stead it only moves roughly 20%.
on the 23rd i did a manual move(Main Menu, the Move button) which took it down to +-10%.
24th and 25th was the automaic moves once it hits 95%, but it only moved about 25%
configuration as follows :
Any ideas? should i enable mover logging and/or test mode for further troubleshooting?
Thx!

Now this will be interesting.
thank you DZMM -> i must admit. trusting your script to perform its magic is really something
owe you a beer or three by now!

Same issue in 2021 - > Kaspersky security cloud (free) , Web antivirus was causing log file pop up not to work (showed a spinning icon, but log file wont display)
https scanning was disabled (and dont have https running on unraid) without effect. Had to disable protection -> web antivirus.

My setup is a combination of local + cloud storage using this setup. I'm using Unraid as an OS. Recently, I've encountered some issues with my CPU maxing out due to my Unraid use + the number of transcodes I have. Instead of upgrading the chips or adding a graphics card, I chose the less expensive solution of grabbing a dedicated plex box for transcoding using Quick Sync. The main reason for the decision was the setup was far cheaper ($80) and the overall power usage is low, so total cost is significantly lower. Also allows you to run other things on this box if you choose.
Box has Ubuntu with Plex on bare metal. I mounted my local unraid drives and mounted the gdrives. I haven't maxed out my transcodes yet but looks like the box can likely support 15+ (although I would bet probably 20+). I'm only allowing transcodes on 1080p content.
For people who are using a similar setup to me, I think this is a good solution. Just wanted to let everyone know this is an option!
i might be interested in this -> which solution is $80?!?!
also currently running plex on unraid , but no amount of explaining can convince the users to not use transcode...sigh. upgrading cpu will only get me so far, and no slots available for an nvidia card (or probably i believe it will limit bandwidth on other slots if i install one)
-
i unfortunately cannot give 100% answers. I do know i had similar issues (to a lesser degree, but still) with a bad quality SSD (was the cheapest drive i could afford , but i brought the system to a halt everytime large write/read actions was running on it. Dockers didnt crash, but a plex database query for example timed out in many cases.
Maybe see if system stability increases when bypassing the cache( guess it is a given that it will), and test from there onwards.
maybe check if your PCIE bus is not being stressed? (eg all the drives pushing through one x16 slot?) -> low chance, but it happened with my 24-drive system. (see the diskspeed docker)
my ideas so far. would love to know what the cause ise

AM I GOING CRAZY?
i saw a post yesterday saying that mergerfs did not install after a reboot (have me quite scared lol since we have regular power problems.)assume it resolved itself?

Hi guys
i might be 90 pages late on this.
can someone give pointers on what i should configure the script in the following scenario :
have /mnt/user/Movies and mnt/user/Series which still contain files (and will be for the forseeable future)
i also have /mnt/disks/google/Movies and /mnt/disks/google/Series (rclone mount) which contains a portion of my data which i loaded the last year.
using a variation of the upload script to copy from /mnt/user/Series currently , where i will then selectively delete data on the local share once i am happy full series has been copied over.
Plex obviously has both folders added (so some series might show two copies of an episode, but that doesn't affect usage)
Sonarr is linked to the local folder only.
question:
How to move to a mergerfs solution?
will i need to create a usershare called "local" and move both my movies and Series into that? or is there a way to use my current folder structure(preferred)?
I have a feeling the answer is very simple, but looking through the script i just cant seem t
thx team!

i am using CA appdata backup
it does however seem to be focused on appdata, but includes backup options for flash as well as vm's
works very well

/bump
anybody have ideas i could try?
i attempted to switch to a pre-installed windows 10 with drivers already loaded, where some progress was made, but it still seemed unstable (no crashes, but was unable to get any software/games started that required 3D)will try to install drivers again , or if all else fails, see if i can get a secondary card installed (challenge being that i need to sacrifice an 8 port SAS card which will reduce my array capacity by 8 drives
)

Hi Ryzen team
hope somebody following this thread have advice. I am having a challenge, where passing through the only ATI card to a windows VM on a ryzen system is working (Seabios without UEFI) , but then the $%$^ hits the fan when i install the ATI drivers (crash during driver install, and after that VM wont start again.
anybody encountered this and maybe have a possible thing i could try?
more details here :thank you team!

Hi everybody
i am running at wits end here, and hope somebody with a similar system/setup can provide guidance - especially since it seems like with an ATI system i should not be encountering this
I am trying to get a stable windows 10 VM running for gaming purposes, in an attempt to save on buying additional hardware for two machines.
some notes
- Asus primce X370 Pro (latest bios loaded)
- Ryzen 2700x CPU
- HIS ATI RX 480 GFX ( only card installed, no onboard graphics available)
- 2 x 8 port SAS cards ( thus utilizing all three PCIEx16 slots)
- 64GB ram (Corsair LPX 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit for DDR4 Systems) - i believe the bios with default settings is not running this at 3000mhz yet. (will play around adjusting this one i get a stable solution going)
- No ACS multifunction enabled( alll devices i want to pass through is in separate IOMMU groups) - ACS multifunction was tested however with no changes in the below issues.
- 64 bit radeon software adrenalin edition 18.10.2-oct25 was utilized
First i tried with a UEFI setup ( UEFI enabled in bios as well as Unraid Flash, and then creating an OVMF windows 10 template with graphics card passed through (including a captured bios- the one downloaded from techpowerup didnt work). Starting the VM on OVMF bios did not produce any output on the connected monitor - not sure why.
Reading through a few guides, recommended disabling UEFI and creating the VM using Seabios(i also disabled hyper-v as part of my troubleshooting)
this presented me with the normal windows installation, which then allowed me to get into the desktop and install the Virtio drivers for the three unknown devices (network especially), and disabled windows UAC.
after this i restarted the VM, downloaded the ATI drivers, and installed. roughly on 60% (usually where a normal computer display will go blank for a few seconds before resuming the driver install), the Passed through display switched off, and never returned.
KVM XML and diagnostics attachedto match time entries in Diagnostics syslog, please see below :
- 19:35 start VM (default VGA driver only - RX480 passed through)
- 19:44 - installation started Custom. Graphics and audio driver only
- 19:47 : roughly 60% - screen goes dark, no further output from VM
-
19:52 - attempt normal VM stop via unraid web gui- spinning icon for 20 seconds, then shows normal started icon again.
- nothing on VM logs or Syslog to indicate any issues.
-
19:54 force stop and start VM
- windows logo is shown, spinning icon, then freezes
- no error on VM or system log.
- have to force stop. not recoverable.
I am really not sure what i could be doing wrong here. any body have some additional pointers i could try?
Thank you team!

Just another option, I'm running the Asus Prime X370-Pro and same here, been extremely happy. I'm using an LSI 9211-8i as I'm starting to run out of SATA ports. More details are in my signature... any questions, feel free to ask.
hmm ok that looks more like what im planning. are you doing passthrough though? your mb/cpu does not provide onboard graphics capability.
and then another question about headless passthrough i am trying to figure out. what happens if you shutdown the VM? will the unraid-host remain on and then display unraid CLI? -

Check out the ASUS ROG Strix X370-F and see if it will fit your needs.
I have been happy with mine.-Michael
thank you! That looks like it might fit the bill
care to share your build? (eg what cards installed, and if you are able to do headless passthrough?)
-
sorry for jumping in here , but hope you guys can help.
i am planning to upgrade to a ryzen build - possibly 2700x, but i am having a challenge to select the MB.i have a 24 slot chassis, using all of the drives + a cache. I have currently 2 x 8 port SAS cards PCIe, and then a combination of onboard sata ports and older generation PCI cards providing the remainder.
i want to go the passthrough route (ie one main system that performs both unraid and dialy usage)
thus i will need :
PCIex16 for main system graphics (im currently running an RX480) - my wish would be to have this passed through and unraid on headless as it will save a previous PCIe slot for a secondary GFX card2x PCIex8 for SAS cards 8 ports
at least 8 onboard sata ports (or alternatively, 3 x 8port SAS cards)
cache drive?
32/64GB DDR4 3000 RAM
the following ThreadRipper board seems to have enough PCIe slots, but i just cant seem to locate a AM4 socket that fits the bill:
https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/X399 Taichi/index.asp
obviously i would prefer to select a system that is proven to be stable

Even slow fans would normally manage better - is it all drives that gets that hot, or do you have a some drives that have the air circulation blocked or isn't in the direct path of the moving air?
must admit - stubborn me did not want to believe it, but seems like temperature was indeed the cause. just the stubborn, errr i mean loyal old server, wanted me to remove it from the server cabinet and put it right next to my bed before it started to complete a parity sync (combined with a massive 75 cm fan for the warmer times of day.
i believe there is other possible issues afoot - possibly some of the controllers, as i had 4 drives drop out of the array yesterday during fan troubleshooting, which required me to run xfs_repair before i could mount them again. will monitor it closely
i am getting a fan controller in the next week to see if i can manage the temperature a bit better as well.
Thx for the help team!
-
thx guys. i will put a temporary measure on to see if i can drop the temperature.
currently air is being sucked over the drives and pushed through cpu and then out, so shouldn;t be an issue. might be that the fans is a bit low CFM, but will try to manage/upgrade witha controller. -
Hi team
any ideas as to why a parity sync will all of a sudden drop 50% in speed?
i am trying to complete a parity rebuild to a new 8TB drive (tested with preclear before the time), and for the first +-13 hours it was performing admirably (roughly 35MB/s). since this afternoon however, it dropped to 10MB/s
I dont have anything writing to or reading from the array, so it is really strange to see this :
I have disabled anything extra (cahcdirs , and now for troubleshooting even the docker and VM services). No details in syslog as to a caused. can anybody maybe give an idea?
not willing to wait 7 plus days for a parity sync to finish at current speeds
, but also dont want to give up on 25% / 24 hours alread completed...
TIA

you had me saying "DUHHHHH" out loud in the office. (although i always base it on a percentage). will balance/move some data around tonight to test, but i believe this is definitely the answer!

What Split Level do you have for the share in question? Split Level will over-ride the Allocation method if there is any contention as to which disk to use.
didn't touch split level for a long time (data equally distributed across the other 18 discs). believe it is level 2?
sample directory under a share :
share name : Movies
Folder 1 : " A" / "B" / "C" etc
Folder 2 : "Movie name (year)"
currently all the drives contains "Folder 1", with "folder 2" being unique on all the drives.

Hi Tom /Team
10 years plus user here (struggling to find that email where i bought my pro license).
Difficult choice you guys are facing, but a business has to remain afloat.
a possible option, for lifetime pro users, is to donate to the limetech project. ie have a website track the upcoming expenses for the year, and showing how much of that total has been met?
understand it is a bit of a shift, but i will 100% support your product, witha bit more visibilty on where the money goes (wnat what you are short)
even if it is a small amount of maybe 10/20/30USD per year (user choise), i believe it will fill a few holes.
keep up the good work!
Regards
