Awesome will do that now

One of my drives, SDD is always spun up and I cannot figure out why. It's got the same default spin down delay as the rest. I spin it down and then a few mins later its back up... I cant see mover or anything else running either. Jan 24 17:10:31 Namek emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdd Jan 24 17:11:06 Namek emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdd Jan 31 09:53:31 Namek emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdd Jan 31 09:56:06 Namek emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdd Jan 31 10:17:03 Namek emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdd Jan 31 10:21:07 Namek emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdd Jan 31 10:30:26 Namek emhttpd: spinning down /dev/sdd Jan 31 10:31:07 Namek emhttpd: read SMART /dev/sdd This was me tying to spin it down manually. I cannot see anything in the logs at least anything that I understand. namek-diagnostics-20240131-1058.zip

Thanks it does a bit. I did manage to figure out the compatibility tab and got that sorted. Clicking Apps then System then Software never yields any updates available. Its always you're updated. Even tho I know there is like 650 updates pending if you do apt update... I *Think* I figured out no4 - I believe its to do with my P2000 not really being compatible for gaming, so will get a proper GPU and test again.

So few things... I've just spun up this container and so far nice! Got Steam up and running. For games that say 'Runs on Windows' do you just go into force compatibility? Secondly, I was looking at installing some bits, but it needs to do a apt install, I noticed there are a ton of updates to do right out of the box. Is it safe to do this? I tried to apt update, but it just hung at 22% *edit*: I saw in unRAID logs: Nov 29 16:31:08 Namek login: pam_unix(login:auth): check pass; user unknown Nov 29 16:31:08 Namek login: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= Nov 29 16:31:10 Namek login: FAILED LOGIN 3 FROM tty1 FOR full-upgrade, Authentication failure Not sure if it helps diagnose the upgrading? I was running the command as sudo apt-get full-upgrade Thirdly, I was trying to get steam to install games onto my NVME but it took forever to 'Reserve Space' - is this normal? Fourth, I launch a game, seems to be fine, but it never actually loads or plays, it says Launching and then Changes to STOP, but nothing displays, there is no game. Then eventually it just goes back to 'Play' like the game gets stopped automatically. I have noticed: Nov 30 14:46:55 Namek kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Unable to read EDID for display device DP-0 In unRAID logs. I do have a DP dummy plug installed. Even trying Steam-Link play nothing happens, games dont load. For reference I have passed through a Quadro P2000 to test. I know it's not a gaming card, but I wanted to check before I purchased a GPU just for this. But so far no luck... Games dont load and I just get kicked back to desktop @Josh.5 any help would be massively appreciated. I would join Discord but the link for whatever reason doesn't work

Ok so I dug into this more... Ran safemode, didnt help either. I then looked if there was a new Firmware for my 9300-16i and funnily there was, but also I noticed that I hadnt flashed BOTH sides of the controller. Num Ctlr FW Ver NVDATA x86-BIOS PCI Addr ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 SAS3008(C0) 16.00.10.00 0e.01.00.03 08.37.00.00 00:19:00:00 1 SAS3008(C0) 05.00.00.00 05.00.00.01 08.11.00.00 00:1b:00:00 So I flashed them both this time to the latest 16.00.12.00 & BIOS. Restarted and testing seems good now. Voila:

Hey thanks. I will post again if it happens with wrong drives. For spin down I have stopped that app and no change in behaviour. I have restarted multiple times and no change there either. Will try safe mode tonight and report back. Thank you

Bump @JorgeB do you have any ideas?

If anyone at all could help further that would be amazing. Here is the disk logs for one of the drives not spinning down:

So good news, I shut down all dockers, and VM's and did a restart. It restarted and array came to life and no missing disks So thats good... now just to figure out why some drives are not spinning down... Can anyone help with this?

Is there any specific bios settings I should check? It's the first time I'm having this after running OMV for ages. Also any help from anyone on the drive spin down? I just tried to stop all dockers, and shutdown my only VM. Clicked spin down and same thing, no dice.

I mean they are all formatted and part of the pool, so if its changing thats hella scary. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Is it something to do with BTRFS or needing scrubs or something? I mean all I did was click restart and it came back and array wouldnt start multiple times and different drives.

Hi all, So I have spin down delay set to 1 hour, and all drives on default. For whatever reason a subset of mixed drives will not spin down, they are all connected to the same SAS controller, and they are not on the same breakout cables either. Diagnostics attached. Screen shot too: Also I am suffering from a random issue where I restart and some drives show as Wrong, even tho they are the exact same drives selected in the drop down so the array doesnt start. Fortunately its only been 2 drives so I've been able to rebuild parity. Once when I just set it up, it was EVERY drive. Nothing changed hardware wise. I literally just rebooted. Really hoping to get these 2 issues ironed out... namek-diagnostics-20230910-2114.zip

Hi all, I'm spinning up a new unRAID server and starting a new Win11 VM. I'm torn between Q35 and I440FX, and what the differences really are. I've read a bunch of post but nothing clearly states one over the other or the benefits/drawbacks.

I guessed, is there any way we can get a plugin to overrule this? I love the new dashboards but it needs to be manually adjustable and maintainable through cookie removal.

Hi all, How can I get my dashboard to force 3 columns? I have plenty of white space so would like to force 3. Also if I wipe my browsers cache or whatever I lose where each section was assigned, can I lock it in place for good, no matter which device accesses the dashboard?

Ok, so not ZFS as the drive format. Rodger. BTRFS? I have the server hooked up to a UPS so hopefully unclean shutdowns wont be an issue. Are there any good tuning settings to adjust nowadays?

Hi all, I'm about to roll a new unRAID server, and with ZFS I am wondering if its better to format the drives as ZFS or maybe BTRFS or something else? I dont want to use ZFS as it is (in a ZRAID), as it doesnt make sense for me for my home server, but would ZFS still be the best drive format to use? Basically I want normal unRAID, different sized drives, and so on. Also other than the best drive format, anything else I should know for a new start in 2023?

Yeah but I dont get how... I've literally changed EVERYTHING

sorry just saw this. it was 10am I believe

So I changed from OPNsense to pfSense - no fix Changed network cables from 1gb port on my switch to 10gb SFP+ - no fix Changed network cables - no fix Changed the 10gbe NIC on the server itself from eth0 to eth1 - no fix Set to fixed IP - no fix I'm still getting these time outs where unRAID isnt responsive I'm desperate for a fix here, as its hella annoying Latest syslog added... All bios is up to date syslog-10.0.0.10.log

Anyone?

Hi all, So I have spun up a new VM on my unRAID box, for clairty without a GPU assigned. I gave it 26 cores and 16gb RAM, but its hella slow. Like trying to run an app, it just hangs for awhile and then does something. It is running on a m.2 NVME SSD too. Could the molassis performance be because it does not have a GPU and so required cpu rendering? If so I'll get a cheapo GPU and stick it in, just dont want to waste money if I dont need to. Or if I have something else wrong. For clairty I have: Xeon Gold 6148 CPU @ 2.40GHz 64GB ECC DDR4 on a 10gb link

I dont unfortunately, only noticed it around 10am

Unfortunately still happening. Although when I noticed at 10am it never came back even after 30mins, so restarted and went out. Came back and still could not access... Any other thoughts I can do to fix this? syslog-10.0.0.10 (2).log
