    Nice build but I have a question. I checked the specs for the Asus PRIME Z590-A motherboard just now and it seems to only have 6 SATA ports. Just curious how you were able to get 7x WD Reds connected?

     

    Hi, I also use a IBM ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA RAID Controller with 8 ports.

     

    In total I have 9 discs installed: 8 WD RED pro's 16TB and a 2TB SSD for cache.

    Hi @Teejoo! I would love to hear how that build worked out for you! Do you happen to run any Windows VM's on that machine? Really interested to hear about your experience as I am also considering this motherboard.

    Hi, The server is running perfectly! Not much to say about it actually. Ripped all my 1350+ movies, partly using the built in Pioneer UHD-drive and MakeMKV docker. Also added another WD drive, so it's 8 in total now.

     

    I'm not using VM's, so can't comment on that. BTW, also very satisfied with the Define 7 XL case. If you are looking for something with space this is a very nice one.

    [Plugin] unbalanced

    in Plugin Support

    Posted · Edited by Teejoo

    I need some help!

     

    I want to move files from one disc to another using the unbalaced plugin. The drive I want to copy the file to belongs to a share where I disabled the cache (for the time being). The drive I copy the file from also used to be part of the same share, but I de-selected it.

    What I don't understand is the fact that unBalanced still uses the cache drive and I can't copy to the selected disc directly. Where do I change that?

     

    Edit: somehow it works now as it should. No idea what I did wrong.

    This just affect new add file do not write to that disk.

     

    Thanks for your help. After doing this I still can see the files from that disc in the share. So it really only affects new files as you say? Is there no way to 'update' the share that these files aren't there anymore? That would make more sense to me. Or do I have to make a new share?

     

    Edit: I found this helpful topic that explains it.

    Assume the share name "xxx" and in disk4

    cd /mnt/disk4

    mv xxx yyy

    rsync -ah --stats /mnt/disk4/yyy/ /mnt/user/xxx/ -n

    Check if transfer size match and any "Number of deleted files:" show, if all seems normal then remove -n and go

     

     

     

    I'm not so into the command lines thing, but I think I understand what you mean. But as far as I can see I can use the Unbalance plugin to do this? I believe the unbalance docker checks size automatically.

    Hi, I want to remove one of the disks from the share because my rips didn't take as much space as expected. The disc I want to remove from the share (but leave it in the array) has files on it that I want to copy to the original share.

     

    Can I simply uncheck the disc in Share settings without losing the data? And, if so, what's the best way to copy the files to the other shares? Use the Krusader docker? Or is a tool like unbalance better?

     

    Just double checking before I do something stupid! ;-)

    Looks like a enclosure power supply issue to me.

    Letters should only change on a reboot, if ever.

    My UHD-drive letter changes on reboot IF I have an external drive connected that I already connected before I installed the internal UHD-drive. My theory is that Unraid remembers the drive and assigns the same SG number as the first time the drive is connected.

     

    Already deleted the external SSD drive in Historical Devices, but somehow Unraid keeps changing the UHD drive number. Rebooting without the SSD drive attached resets it to the original value. Any ideas how to fix this?

    I bought an internal Pioneer drive and just like the first time with my external drive when I tried to retrieve the /dev/sgx info from the drive I don't see it.. The first time it fixed itself when I made the previous screenshot, no idea how. 

    So here is the current screenshot: No info in the second sg row, and the drive is not recognized by the docker.

     

    Any ideas?

    I’ve had lot’s of other errors before when I used a flashed UHD friendly drive. I used a Windows pc for ripping at that time. Those issues  even paused the whole ripping project.

    All the problems are gone since I bought the Pioneer drives that are now compatible with MakeMKV. They work perfectly out of the box, using both USB or internal SATA. I have 3 pioneer drives now, one connected to my Unraid server and 2 for my PC and Laptop. Even ordered another internal drive for the Unraid server. They make less noise and rip even faster.

    Another question for the experts! 🙂:

     

    I'm succesfully ripping discs now using the docker. The output destination is the shared folder I put all my movies in. 

    I was wondering if you have activated the cache drive option for the folder you rip your movies to or not?

    I didn't activate it until now because I'm also transferring lot's of rips from other computers where I'm also ripping my collection.

     

    The thing is I noticed that ripping causes a lot of writes on the HDD connected to the share, or on the cache SSD if I select to use the cache drive. I don't know which is worse. I would expect using the cache because it's an SSD. Using the cache also has the disadvantage that you have to use the mover afterwards.

     

    So what's your opinion?

    Hi all,

     

    I'm a new Unraid user and built a server for my movie collection that I'm ripping at the moment.

    I copied about 90 rips yesterday from ssd drive using BINHEX - KRUSADER. It looks like the copy was successful,  but looking at the log file I see some errors that I can't find a solution for on the forum:

     

    error 3: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) request 20 minor 0 serial 502

    error 3: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) request 15 minor 0 serial 503

     

    error 3: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) request 15 minor 0 serial 463882

     

    etc etc.

     

    What does this mean and how can I prevent them? I'm using Unraid Version 6.9.2 2021-04-07, Krusader latest version.

    It's normal filesystem overhead for xfs with reflink support.

     

    Because it can be handy to access it over the network, it's disable by default on newer releases, and you can change that on shares settings for the flash drive.

     

    You can set the minimum free space for shares, not disks.

     

    Correct.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi all,

     

    I finished the built of my first Unraid server for my movies and I'm impressed with Unraid. It's quite intuitive to manage, gives a lot of info and is very flexible. (I'm just getting started. I mainly use the standard settings until now.)

     

    The system looks like this:

     

    - Asus PRIME Z590-A

    - Intel Core Intel Core i3 10300 boxed

    - Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600

    - 7x WD Red Pro, 16TB (incl 2 parity drives)

    - Samsung 870 Evo 2TB (cache)

    - Corsair RM550x PSU

     

    Everything went well with setting up Unraid. I temp disabled the parity drives (after pausing it first) because I noticed it takes a long time and want to transfer the data first. Copy speed from a windows PC to the share is much faster as expected. Have to test transfer speed by USB drive.

     

    I do have a few questions:

     

    - What I don't understand is why from every 16TB drive there is already 112GB Used?

    - Why is the USB drive where Unraid on it shared?

    -- And where can I find the setting where you can tell what the minimum free space is per disc?

    - Just to double check: activating the parity drives after copying the files doesn't have any impact on the files on the other drives?

     

    Thanks!

    It seems you did your research and are aware of numerous other system builds that have been discussed on this forum.

    Therefore you must be aware that Unraid has been shown not to have generic compatibility issues with any common hardware.

    Do you have a particular concern?

    No, I don’t. I just wanted to check in case I missed it. Good to hear Unraid works with all common boards. Thanks!

    Hi all!

    I’m planning to build my first Unraid server for my blu-ray/UHD collection (1350+ discs) that I’m going to rip, so I need a lot of space.

    The idea is to start with 7-8- discs, including parity & cache disc. I already have a IBM M1015 6Gbps SATA/SAS HBA Controller (IT MODE) for 8 extra Sata connections that I want to use.

    I will be using the Fractal Design Define 7 XL so I have enough space for future discs.

     

    I need some advice on the motherboard/processor. I’ve read about a lot of builds on the forum, but a lot of boards you can’t get properly in Europe, or I think they are a bit over the top for a file server.

     

    I have a preference for an Intel based MB. I was thinking an Intel i3 processor will be enough, but it is possible I will move my music to this server too at a certain point, and then I need to be able to run iTunes and some other stuff in probably a windows VM. Not sure what this means hardware wise, so some advice would be helpful.

     

    I have seen the Asrock Rack C246 WS https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C246 WS#Specifications

    or

    Asus PRIME Z590-A https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-Z590-A/

     

    But perhaps there are other interesting options?
