NAS-newbie

Replying to an old thread but I am having a similar problem but with NordVPN set up as a "proxy server" in UnRAID and it is not the bandwidth but rather the "latency" when going to a new page that is the problem - bandwidth is 200MBit/s or more but each time I go to a new page it takes like 5 seconds until the page renders... Feels to me like it could be DNS that for some reason is EXTEREMELY slow. Any suggestions on what may be wrong?

Thanks for the info - I found information here https://www.openhab.org/docs/installation/docker.html about creating the openhab user but I am not very knowledgeable about docker (I just install ready made containers in UnRAID and have not had this problem before) so I do not understand how to follow these instructions - should this be done in UnRAID before or after installing the container (I have already done a lot of setup in openhab already so do not want to re-do the installation) or is it something I should do inside the container somehow?

I noticed that the OpenHAB appdata is owned by root:root - is there a reason for this and will it stop working if I change this to the UnRAID "standard" nobody:users????

I am trying to pass in my DVD burner to a Ubuntu Linux VM to be able to BURN DVDs/BDs with data from the array. The burner is on the same controller as some of the array disk. "lsscsi" and "System devices tab" lists it as "[9:0:0:0] cd/dvd Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200A 1.08 /dev/sr0" Executing "cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info" in UNRAID shows: CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17 drive name: sr0 drive speed: 48 drive # of slots: 1 Can close tray: 1 Can open tray: 1 Can lock tray: 1 Can change speed: 1 Can select disk: 0 Can read multisession: 1 Can read MCN: 1 Reports media changed: 1 Can play audio: 1 Can write CD-R: 1 Can write CD-RW: 1 Can read DVD: 1 Can write DVD-R: 1 Can write DVD-RAM: 1 Can read MRW: 0 Can write MRW: 0 Can write RAM: 1 I do not know KVM virtualization very well so trying to follow various answers in forums and is right now trying: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='no'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host9'/> <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <address type='drive' controller='1' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </hostdev> but I am not sure if this is right or how to find what to specify for "controller". The commands "hwinfo --storage-ctrl" and "hwinfo --disk" is not avaialble in UNRAID. Anyhow this setting do result in the DVD to show up in the VM but NOT as a writer 😞 In the VM "lsscsi" shows: [1:0:0:0] cd/dvd QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM 2.5+ /dev/sr1 [4:0:0:0] cd/dvd Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200A 1.08 /dev/sr0 [9:0:0:0] cd/dvd QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM 2.5+ /dev/sr2 and "cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info": CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17 drive name: sr2 sr1 sr0 drive speed: 4 4 1 drive # of slots: 1 1 1 Can close tray: 1 1 1 Can open tray: 1 1 1 Can lock tray: 1 1 1 Can change speed: 1 1 0 Can select disk: 0 0 0 Can read multisession: 1 1 1 Can read MCN: 1 1 1 Reports media changed: 1 1 1 Can play audio: 1 1 1 Can write CD-R: 0 0 0 Can write CD-RW: 0 0 0 Can read DVD: 1 1 0 Can write DVD-R: 0 0 0 Can write DVD-RAM: 0 0 0 Can read MRW: 1 1 0 Can write MRW: 1 1 0 Can write RAM: 1 1 0 Any suggestions on what I can try to make it available with write capability?

Seems to have solved the problem. Just wondering why the disk1 file access did not show up in the file activity plugin....?

Thanks for the help ands explanation - will try your proposal!

Any thought on why it behaves like this or what I am supposed to do to fix it and avoid it happening again? Do one in general need to disable dockers and VMs when running the mover and in that case how to automate that (and why is it not done automatically by UnRAId if needed)?!

Here it go - happy for all sugestions.

I have all my shares set to either cache:prefer or cache:yes but I still see some periodic activity is causing one disk of the array to never spin down and also causing the parity drive to remain spun up (so seem to be "updates of some kind"). Naturally I want my disk to spin down so need to figure out what is causing this... Are there any type of disk update activity (changed ownership/permissions or anything else) that is not cached and instead go directly to the array or any other thoughts on what this may be or how to debug the problem further (when file activity plugin seem to be "bypassed" showing no activity what so ever)?

I have a backup share with a number of folders under UnRaid 6.11.5. Most folders in the share seem to work as expected but I found one folder (my Image folder) that when I look at the content using the UnRAID terminal or by navigating to the share content using the UnRAID web console contain 192 subfolders but when viewed from Windows 10 only show 7 folders and the content of these folders are not even correct (one folder does for instance seem empty from Windows but contains a number of files on the UnRAID system). I have not changed any SMB parameters (just enabled sharing) and I have tried setting all permissions and ownerships for the share to the default using the "New Permissions" tool. The share uses caching Yes. The only unusual thing I can think of is that I have some folder names with space and international characters but it is not consistent that these are the folders that are missing and other folders that also contain this kind of names do work as expected.... I can also mention that I have now tried mounting the share with NFS and then all the directories and files are present and that I tried the SMB share on another computer and it shows the exact same wrong content so it does not seem to be a problem with the client computer. Edit: I received help by UnRAID support - after disabling "Settings->SMB Settings->Enhanced macOS interoperability:" the problem disappeared and all files now seem to show up,

Found the problem - my deluge thin client was too old so it refused to connect to the newer version installed on my UnRAID server.

I had NOT commented out the default one (for localclient) nor have I done so on my raspberry Pi where I currently run deluge and where I CAN connect to 58846 remotely without any problem. Just to verify I tried commenting out the default line (and restart the container) but this did NOT make any difference except that I then cant log in using localclient either any longer in the connection manager of the web gui). Should it not be the point that you CAN have multiple deluge users by having several lines in this file?!

As I mentioned the user name and password I have provided in the auth file do work when I connect using the connection manager in the web interface to 127.0.0.1:58846 so in my view that file cant be the problem - and yes I am sure there are no other lines in the auth except the default one and the one I added.

I have manged to get deluged to work perfectly with my VPN provider (NordVPN using custom setting) and can connect through the web interface, download torrents with good speed etc but cant for the world get remote connection over port 58846 to work (I am trying to connect over my local LAN not through Internet/VPN). I have added a line to "auth" file ("user:password:10") and using the web GUI preferences deamon enabled "remote connection" and verified that the port is indeed 58846 but still no luck... Using the connection manager in the WebGUI I can connect to 127.1.1.0:58846 with my defined user name and password so that part seems to work but if I use the servers real IP it does not work from the GUI either suggesting to me this could be a networking issue with the container but I do not know how to debug it further...

Sadly I have not seen any indication that you can buy this Asrock board anywhere (at least not as a private consumer - maybe you can ask for a quote for 100 of them if you are a system integrator etc)... The same goes for the other W680 boards announced in Mars this year. The only W680 board I have found that can be bought is the Supermicro X13SAE...

I am looking at building a home server for TWO main functions UNRAID and Plex Server (including transcoding for mobile devices, due to this I intend to go Intel CPU with built in GPU for hardware assisted Plex transcoding). I would like a motherboard that can handle 6+ SATA3 and at least one M.2 (for UNRAID cache). Will start out with 3 HDs and add more as my need grow (and disk prices drop). With the crazy electricity costs I would like to find an as low power CPU / Motherboard combination as possible.
