Does someone know where to get a Slackware package for rmlint : it's a great CLI tool to get a list of duplicates - and remove them. It's one of the 3 programs I was using through NerdPack - along with iperf3 and iotop.

I'm using Unraid on a QNAP device - with some strange performance issue (slowness in listing directories and running find command on shares). At a time I did some SFTP tests and saw also better performances compared to SMB access. I really think sftpgo should be integrated into Unraid - I tried the Docker version but it would be best to integrate it.

Thanks primeval_god & trurl for your valuable information. Initially,I looked for mount in All Apps, and didn't think about looking for Unassigned / use that keyword. I installed the Unassigned Applications ! I thought such feature would be made available by default. I tried to use the rmlint Docker image but it provides the Graphical interface / I prefer to use the CLI version. I use it so far through the terminal in the Web admin interface - as root to identify and remove duplicate files on external disk or a specific share. Detecting duplicate files on NAS is a frequent requirement. I now understand the Unraid approach/philosophy way better and will create a Docker image based on Alpine Linux with rmlint and yt-dlp for my specific needs - seems like I will need to create a Github repository. Out of curiosity, did I miss to read an Unraid primer or other Introduction document that would have saved me|you some time ? Other topic : I upgraded to 10.6.3 - smooth upgrade and will buy an Unraid license for sure 🙂

Many thanks for your post. Unfortunately my device has no USB 2 port - it comes with 4 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports. Anyway, the issue got solved and full USB3 combination works fine - even with 64 Gb sticks. I didn't see the Help global button - thanks for highlighting it. Thanks for your explanations about Unraid advantages over systems. I installed the Nerdpack so I can using rmlint to find duplicate files. I will install yt-dlp manually so I can download some videos without resorting to a Docker image - so sad Nerdpack does not propose it. Not sure, if it is a 6.10.2 bug, but plugging an external USB disk, I see no disk listed and I had to manually mount it through CLI. I was expecting to have a graphical way to mount as in QNAP/Synlogy/OMV. Weird as the disk was recognized by system - as I can see through Tools/SysDevs URL : [0:0:0:0]disk USB DISK MODULE PMAP /dev/sda 515MB [1:0:0:0]disk SanDisk Ultra 1.00 /dev/sdb 61.5GB [2:0:0:0]disk ATA ST6000VN001-2BB1 SC60 /dev/sdc 6.00TB [3:0:0:0]disk ATA ST6000VN001-2BB1 SC60 /dev/sdd 6.00TB [4:0:0:0]disk ADATA HD710 PRO 9203 /dev/sde 2.00TB Unraid is stable and I'm now moving a lot of external disks/CDs data on it.

Greetings from France all. I bought a second-hand QNAP TS-253A (8GB RAM,Intel Celeron CPU N3160 @ 1.60GHz; 2 bays, USB3 ports) which is compatible with Linux NAS distributions. Initially, my plan was to go with OpenMediaVault 6 but the encryption plugin is not yet ported 6 - I found it after configuring! Disk encryption is a requirement for me - for privacy reasons (if your disk needs to be replaced, don't you mind someone potentially reading its content ?) Therefore, I decided to give Unraid a try - with release 6.10.1. It was not easy but in the end it works. 1. I tried to use the USB Creator with 2 different USB2 keys but it failed. The program displayed an error - and even some weird messages in Chinese or other foreign language. I tried a 3rd USB2 key (ENUODA brand) - I used just once. This time the USB Creator was successful. 2. I installed Unraid and tried to configure it. As a new user, I had to read forum posts, to understand what is required for a mirroring/RAID1 configuration (1 disk + 1 parity drives). The array creation took more than 11 hours (6GB drives). I found it hard to understand how encryption can be configured. Based on forum reading, I understood that the whole disk has to be encrypted - contrary to classical Linux which is partition based, and Synology/QNAP which supports volume based encryption. I decided to go with xfs-encryption based on forums suggestions. I was really happy with Brtfs on Fedora and Synology but looking further after forum readings I noticed a Phoronix article which scared me a bit : https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.16-Better-Btrfs 3. All of sudden I was kinda stuck in the web interface. I clicked and nothing changed. I decided to check the logs and the forum. I noticed a bunch of Unraid kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Directory bread(block NNNN) failed errors. I tried to check the content of /boot/config and this directory was empty. It's weird as this USB stick was close to brand-new and running badblocks -w -s -o /tmp/usbstick.log I saw no errors in the generated log. 4. I decided to use a 4th USB stick - SanDisk Ultra 64 GB Dual Drive. Windows refused to format it as FAT so I had to format it on Linux - I created a 2GB partition. This time I used 6.10.2 which got released on that day and I copied the content of the zip file - manual USB disk set-up. 5. I booted the new USB stick and everything went well. I had to do the Array configuration again (11 hours, 30 minutes again), and format the disk so I can create Shared - it took me some time to figure out - this was missing. THis time I backuped the configuration quickly just in case I face some new issues - I don't want to wait for close to 12 hours for the array creation. To summarize: - the USB Creator really needs some fixing making it easier to install the set-up program on a USB drive. I'm pretty sure many people will not give Unraid a try because of that. - mirroring configuration required having a look at forum post. Mirroring or even any configuration could be simplified by an assistant, asking the number of disks, the need for redundancy or not and explaining what is to be done. - disk encryption configuration is a bit limited and confusing at first (I was expecting the passphrase on the Disk settings). I really hope this is something that will be improved in the future. I still wonder if some people go with brtfs-encrypted which was my initial idea - but as the kernel is still 5.15 based it might not be a good idea - I really wonder if there is not some weird thing going when using USB2 sticks on USB3 ports I'm using a 64 USB3 key for the time being - a bit overkill but my 3 USB2 sticks were not ok for Unraid USB disk creation or usage. - The web interface is fine but could be improved (modernized look, it is not as polished as Synology, and help pointers could be added on each menu parts to clarify further) I will continue to get familiar with Unraid (disk tuning - I've a feeling the disks don't spin down after 1 hours) and play with the Apps.
