Hi Guys, I'm facing some strange issues. My disks do spin down, but spin up again after a few minutes. I did try turning off docker and all scripts, but it still behaves the same way. VMs are not even installed. I have no clue how to track down the issue. I tried the SAS plugin, but nothing changed there. natasha-diagnostics-20210524-1829.zip

My issue seems not be the same, as the drived do spin down, but spin "magicly" up again after a short while... and spin down again... Tried the SAS PlugIn, but hasn't changed much. Shall I post in that thread you linked?

diags are at my first post. I'm using an adaptec (1100) controller for all the HDDs. No clue how to find "the criminal". Disks are getting pretty hot as they are spinning non-stop

Update: I tried turning off docker, all scripts, etc. Nothing changes. The drives keep spinning up and down. Not sure how to proceed from here...

There are no VM on the machine and not even a share on the pool atm.

I'm not certain those are the same issues. My issue only effects the disks inside the pool - the array works fine. The drives do spin down, but are spun up again on a regular basis.

Any Idea about the spin up/down?

Hi Guys, I'm facing some weird issues with a BTRFS pool. I am using 6 HDDs in RAID10 mode. Issue #1: the pool isn't beeing used atm, but the drives keep spinning up on a regular basis. Issue #2: I was using 4 drives and added two new drives. I tried also removing the Pool and creating a new one, but nothing changed. The capacity is being displayed wrong. Is says 20TB free, 3GB used (no data there!) and 30TB total - it should be 30TB free. Diagnostics are attached. Thanks! natasha-diagnostics-20210522-1221.zip

Nope, I meant raid 10. It's already up and running again.

Hello, I'm running a 2x 2TB BTRFS Cache with RAID10 setup. After reboot a disk is gone. How do I rebuild/restore the Cache with a replacement?

Or find out if Viewpower is based on one of these protocols

I'm always getting the pro licences to support unraid a little bit. I could run all (but one server) with basic tro. Dropping a small disk or flash to backup the virtlib and boot-flash isn't a deal breaker I'm a bit concerned what happens if a VM will be running at 100% cpu which is required by unraid. Isolating the CPU, basically means losing a full core...

"The devil I know" is basically my thought... just wondering if unraid will run without an array with just a pool or some unattached devices..?

Hi Guys, I'm running a few unraid servers and am very happy. Now I need to add some hardware just for virtualization (windows 10 VMs). I don't need an array or raid as the data and backups are stored on another unraid server. Can I / Should I setup a box like that on unraid or rather go for another OS?

Hi there, I have got that NIC and it seems unraid detects it (appears as eth and can be configured), but I don't get a link and can't see the port beeing used on the switch. If I boot on windows, it works fine. I assume It's a driver issue(?)... anything I can do? Or: which 10gb NIC should I get?

I'm thinking of getting a Threadripper for Virtualization (Windows VMs). Does anyone has some experience and can compare with Intel? Right now I'm using some Intel HEDT which I oc by 30~40% (allcore!) and that setup performance very well - but the amount of cores is quite low for what I need I also do use nested virtualization (not sure it matters). Soooo... should I give AMD a shot or just keep adding more Intels?

It's been quite a while since passthrough has been an "real" issue. I've been doing it with Nvidia an ATI no-stop. Why would you add an additional GPU for plex? Unless you have many clients and the server is quite "busy" most of the time, transcoding on the CPU is just fine. You might run into lane limitations with two GPUs - I'm an Intel fanboy, so I barley know anything about AMD CPUs. However, keep in mind if you want to stream the games, you are limited to 60Hz and the client still requires a "powerfull" machine (able to decode whatever resolution you wanna play at 60Hz + forwarding.

I recommend Bluewalker if your server is in a separate room. They are quite noisy, but features, compatibility and price are amazing (~200USD for VFI with huge output and battery). Check this link.

Using the native USB driver - I did not setup anything special.

what version of unraid are you running? I'm on 6.9.x. I just plugged it into an USB port (2.0!) and could detect it via the USP settings. I'll be testing LAN soon...

so on the first server I have the data, the initial snapshot and one delta? or can I get rid/avoid the initial duplicate/snapshot on the source server?

I don't mind scripting but I still need a full snapshot on the source server?

Could you elaborate a little bit or send me a resource to read up please?

Hi, is it possible to work with BTRFS snapshots across two server? I'm running a cache on one server and would like to create snapshot backups (+ deltas) on the other one.
