Unison File Synchronizer docker container
[email protected] replied to lionceau's topic in Docker Engine
Did anyone ever find a way? I see older posts about this, but I am running version 6 and would like to use unison instead of rsync. -

tHE COPY STARTS, RUNS FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES, THEN GIVE ME THE SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPAce and needs 2.4TB to complete the copy. Sorry for caps. unraid-diagnostics-20170417-1652.zip -
MOVER is full and won't move the files?
[email protected] replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Support
I read this and set it to 2.5TB, and I have about 3 drives that could handle a file of that size. Still did not work. So, I am using WinSCP to copy the file to a big enough drive, and it is taking its time, but appears to be working. I don't have many files over 2TB, but I do have a few. This has stirred a question about unRAID in general. Let's say you do have large files, everything over 1TB, with some files in the 3TB range (think video editor). I guess the way unRAID stores files, you would need to buy drives larger than the biggest file you hope to create? While I might have 25TB free, I cannot currently write a 10TB file to any of my shares b/c none of my drives are over 4TB? In 99% of the use cases, this would not be a problem very often (except big backup files). However, if this is a limitation, it would be nice to know. If I use a backup program to stream backups to the array, I wonder what happens when Acronis starts to write a file, to 1TB drive, and then the backup goes to 2TB? I could test this, but I wonder if others have had this issue? I guess the backup would fail? A workaround would be to use Acronis Backup Splitting, where it makes multiple 4GB files for large backup jobs, so if a drive fills up, it can spill over to the next drive? I might need to start another thread. I love unRAID, so I am not changing. My server is about to have its 10th birthday. David -

I changed all my shares to YES and it works now. I still have the problem of not being able to copy large (1TB) files to my array, I will keep looking for answers for that. David -
Hello, I bought a 2 pack of the max edition unRAID back in the 5.x era, and I have been upgrading it ever since. I had the 6 BETA for the longest time and finally upgraded to the full 6. I have had the same system for years now, but upgraded the hardware about ever 4th year. My last upgrade was to an ASRock Z87 extreme11 a/c board and i5 CPU, which has been great (the board comes with 22 SATA ports and an internal USB port, so it looks nice.) I have 15 devices and 32TB, running dual parity. Over all the years and upgrades, I have never lost a file! Now, my problem is the mover seems to be stuck. I have included my log files, I have a 15k 73GB SAS drives, everything else is SATA. Everything is green, and from what I can tell rsync runs but never moves the files off of the cache drive? I SSH'd into the box and ran top, I see rync running. Of course I have rebooted the box several times. When I ran ps-ef grep rsync, it looks like it runs these commands: root 10420 10301 23 14:42 ? 00:01:07 /usr/bin/rsync -i -dlDIWR --inplace -pAXogt --numeric-ids ./share1/AcronisImages/1366BLK/My_partitions_full_b1_s1_v1.tib /mnt/cache root 10421 10420 0 14:42 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/rsync -i -dlDIWR --inplace -pAXogt --numeric-ids ./share1/AcronisImages/1366BLK/My_partitions_full_b1_s1_v1.tib /mnt/cache root 10422 10421 4 14:42 ? 00:00:12 /usr/bin/rsync -i -dlDIWR --inplace -pAXogt --numeric-ids ./share1/AcronisImages/1366BLK/My_partitions_full_b1_s1_v1.tib /mnt/cache IS there a way I can look at what rsync is choking on? The only other problem I have noticed is when I tried to copy a 2.5TB file to my array, I would get the disk full error. I tried changing the share settings, that did not work. Not sure if that is related? The only other thing I can think of is I recently added a Mellanox ConnectX-2 10GBe card, but I disabled that during my troubleshooting. I was thinking of powering down and pulling the card? Could a NIC really cause this issue? Thanks for the help, the community looks better than ever! I have several people at my working looking to switch toi unRAID from the Commercial NAS'es. David unraid-diagnostics-20170415-1429.zip

[email protected] started following proFTPd , MOVER is full and won't move the files? and 10GB Ethernet?

Thread Necro time. Those 10GBe Mellanox cards are $20 in 2017 on eBay with a cable. So glad the driver was added, makes my life much easier. Only question: are the cards smart enough to do auto-crossover? MDI-X or whatever it is called, I am going from workstation direct to server, no switch. Thanks, David

Hello, Well, things didn't go well trying to install the latest ProFTPd on my 6.0Beta4 install. the OEM ftp worked, I just wanted more than 1 user and more security. However, now I would like to revert back to the original config. I know proftpd puts files in various places, and makes directories and log files. So my question for the group is: How can I completely uninstall proftpd and remove all traces of it? I tried the obvious: /boot/config and /boot.packages. After removing all the files that look like they belonged to proftpd, I still have the ICON in the GUI, and the stock FTP does not start. It was easy enough install all my add-ons, so maybe it would be easier to make a fresh config? If I need to do that, will the typical UTILITIES-NEW CONFIG work for this, or will there still be leftover parts? I am confident that my data survives through this process, I have reset my config several times. Other than the unMENU, I run the SMTP server with the daily status email, and the APC powerdown add-ons. If there is another FTP server I can use, I am all ears. I have the GCC complier install, and I think my Linux knowledge is workable (I work for Sourcefire). Thanks, Dave

Hello, I am running 6.0 BETA 4, and I am trying to get Proftpd installed. The problem I have in that I have tried many times to install, and now I would like to clean up and try again. I have tried both ways, that I know of, to install. I added the file to the plughins directory and restarted. I also tried copying the TGZ files to /boot/packages and running it that way. So now I have proftpd files all over the place, and I 1st need to clean up and start fresh, any ideas? I have the proftpd.conf file in the /etc directory, and I also have the GCC addon installed, so I can complie if I need to. Any and all help is appreciated. I have the GUI showing thev1.3.5rc3v2 in installed, but it will not start. Here is the proftod.conf from etc: Server Settings ServerName ProFTPD ServerType standalone DefaultServer on PidFile /var/run/proftpd.pid # Port 21 is the standard FTP port. You propably should not connect to the # internet with this port. Make your router forward another port to # this one instead. Port 21 # Set the user and group under which the server will run.

Hello and thanks for the reply. Before adding ANY drive to ANY array or the like, I always run the LONG and THOROUGH diagnostics from whoever makes the drive. I then use some of my own tools, like SpinRite, Crystal, HDD Tune, and a few others depending of what I think may be the problem. Of course, the 3TB was tested and burned in for 72 hours prior to being added. I actually went back to basics on this problem to hopefully find my solution. I took out all new drives, so the 3TB RED (which had no data on it) is not being used at the moment. I also saw a few errors that looked like permission problems and the volume being mounted a R-O on ANOTHER different 1TB drive, so I copied the little data that was there to another drive and removed that one too, so I am now down to 8 drives. I then made a new config, and setup the drives and began the parity sync. Hopefully this will fix my problem, time will tell with 25% complete and 7 hours est. to go. If I can finish a parity sync, I will retest, low level format, and then burn in the 3 drives I want to re-add to my array. I need to walk before I attempt to jog Thanks for your input, David

Hello, So, I am back up, mostly, after a mobo failure. I went with 6.0 BETA b/c I had an LSI RAID card (IT Mode BIOS) and 5.x would not see drives on this card. I replaced 2 of my 500GB drives with new WD RED 3TB ones after clearing off the data and doing a New Config. This all went well, but now I have the new issue that once I get to around 70% +/- the GUI is unresponsive, but I can still access everything via SMB. I can also get into the console, but if I run too many commands, the console will just hang. I tried to see the Paroty sync status via the CLI, and that always hangs up. Where to begin? Not sure what directions I should take? I guess I could pull the new drives and see if the parity will sync without them? Thanks, Dave

I can honestly say, UNRAID is THE MOST AMAZING NAS OS EVER. Here is why, and I told all my friends if I got through this, no other NAS would be worth a crap. I got anew job with Cisco/Sourcefire, and I needed to config my home lab, required for the job. I decided to use an ESX server I had lying around, all I needed was some drives. So, I went and bought a new 3TB drive to replace any of the 1TB drives in my unRAID server, figured I would upgrade whenever I could. So, I pulled a 1TB drive and paired it with another I had not being used to make the 1TB mirror in my ESX server. No biggie, I would just rebuild the unRAID with the new 3TB and enjoy the extra space. Well, wouldn't you know it, my dated nForce DFI LP4 board with a 4800+ CPU would not get past post when I tried to reboot, it would just hang after mem count. I thought crap, I have a spare board just for this case. Well, my spare board was a SuperMicro with only 4 SATA ports, and I had a 16 port adaptec I thought I would use. None of the controllers, the Adapter or the onboard SATA supported 64 bit LBA, so they would not see the 3TB drives, only the smaller ones. I was stuck, so I decided to buy a ASrock z87 extreme11-a/c with 22 SATA/SAS ports. I figured since it was such a new board, it would have to support the bigger drives, and I would also not have to deal with a controller, everything off the mobo. (my DFI LP4 had 8 sata ports, and then I used a Highpoint 4 port to cover the other drives). Well, then the Asrock arrives, and it does not support JBOD. I go through the trouble of flash the wrong BIOS with the SAS2FLASH utility, and after 3 bad flashes I get to the point that the controller BIOS no longer even shows up. I think I am OK because the flash utility still sees the card, just no BIOS is installed that works. After looking around, I find the SAS3flash util, and what I think is the correct IT BIOS for my onboard LSI SAS3008 controller. A little luck and I flash the correct BIOS, and all my drives show up in the BIOS now. Well, then I have unRAID problems. I can only see my drives when plugged into the onboard SATA controller, and the LSI card, with the IT BIOS, will not show up. This never gets solved, so I decided to go with the 6.0 BETA of unRAID. Upon 1st boot, the BETA sees everything and I begin to rebuild my volume. While it is rebuilding, I can see most of my data. I think there are a few directories missing, ones that were on the drive I pulled, and while I am doing a parity rebuild, I am not sure I did everything correctly. I reset the unRAID config when I was trying to get the drives detected, and I think this messed up my rebuild of what was on the drive I repurposed. In the end, I have about 90%+ of my data back, which is good enough. I think I lost my Technet ISO files, which I can easily re-download. Many of the important things I have backed up elsewhere, like on my Thecus N5200pro and my Drobo Pro 8 drive model. Once I get everything 100% on the unraid, I will sync my volume with the last backup I did on the other NAS'. All in all, I am surprised I went through such drastic changes after a mobo failure, and the fact I lost so little data, and could have lost none if I knew what I was doing. Happy and amazed at how well this NAS OS handled what I threw at it. My last unRAID was the 5.01 BETA, and that ran for over a year, so I guess I am good wit the 6.0 BETA.

Hello, I went with 6.0-beta4, after trying 5.0.5 and it not seeing any of my drives. I guess they added support for the LSI SAS 3008 in the new build, and I am up and running, did not even lost my data! YAY!

6.0-beta4 installed, then it saw all my drives from the LSI SAS 3008 with the IT BIOS. I did not even lost any data, and it is doing a parity rebuild now, but I can browse and see all my files. Not happy I have to use a beta, but al least my server is up with the new hardware and all my files are accessable now... Dave
