I have been receiving Docker image disk utilization warning between 3 and 4 am for the last 10 days. It usually jumps up to about 70-75%. I'm not sure why this is happening. Is there a way to change the warning setpoint? Sometimes I get like 10 warnings a night. I would prefer not to expand my docker image which sits at 66% of 20Gb all day long.

I considered doing that also but I would prefer to change the warning setpoint.

Did you figure this out? I have the exact same issue starting on May 21. Always between 3 and 5 am roughly.

I am not sure if this applies to you but the only time I have seen this is when I tried to move appdata off the array to the cache. If the data is being used by VMs or dockers it will not allow mover to move the data in that instance. If this is the case disable docker and VMs and then run the mover. After mover is done enable dockers and VMs.

You can shrink your array. https://wiki.unraid.net/Shrink_array Unbalance plugin is helpful to move the data off the 3TB drives to the 10TB drives. Then you can clear the drives and remove them as per the instructions.

You could set each share under "Use Cache" to No for the shares that you don't want to use the cache. Most prefer to set "Use Cache" to yes then schedule the Mover which will move the files off the cache and into the array. If you don't use cache for your shares the corresponding array drives will spin up everytime you write to them. Vm's and Docker image are better off to run off the cache and should be set to "Prefer".

Ok so if I disable VPN it seems to work. I guess I will try another end point.

Did you find a solution? Mine stopped downloading yesterday. I restarted the docker and now I can't even access the web UI.

Download the plex player under "Apps and Device" on plex.tv be sure not to download under the Plex Media Server section. When you load plex player for windows you will be greeted by a sign in screen. If your Plex media Server is working correctly on Unraid it should automatically link you up. If it doesn't you can check the server by clicking on the docker tab. Then click on the plex server logo and a menu will popup. Click on WebUI and login to your Plex account. Assuming your server is setup correct you should see all your media listed here from the server backend side.

Have you used these units without issue before? Just trying to avoid headaches. The plan is to preclear 10TB WD Red drive in the enclosure and then remove them to be install on sata in the server once preclear.

Can anyone recommend a good external USB enclosure that I can use to preclear drives? Then I could remove them from the enclosure and install in the server. I am getting close to capacity in my case and would like to start replacing old small drives with 10TB drives.

I have had my shares disappear twice before. One time was due to USB corruption and the other was due to my USB stick dropping offline. Try and powerdown the array and plug the USB into a windows PC. If windows detects problems let windows scan and repair the USB. The other time was due to a flaky USB port. Try another port on the server preferably a USB 2.0 port.

Your USB is corrupt. I have had the same thing in the past every so often. Windows was always able to fix it for me when this happened. If it happens again in the future try doing a format (not a quick format) and recreate the USB from a backup before replacing. Also after the USB is fixed be sure to take a backup. This is what fixed the corrupt USB permanently for me.

Try and reseat the ram first and run memtest. Sometimes that is all it is. If it doesn't fix it you can pull ram chips until you don't get errors on memtest to eliminate the bad chip.

OK so I pointed to the forge file and it worked and also created the mods folder for me. Everything is working as it should. Maybe I had a typo in the long forge jar name. Thanks

I pointed it to the forge jar file first but didn't seem to work. I will take another look. If I point to the forge jar file no extra setup should be require for the docker to see the main server jar? Does the mod directory require setup in the docker container?

I have been running MinecraftBasicServer for quite awhile now for my son. He asked me to if I could switch Minecraft Forge. I downloaded the two jar files required and changed the docker to point to minecraft_server.1.12.2.jar. What extra setup is required to start adding mods?

SPACEINVADER ONE on Youtube has a series of great UnRaid tutorial videos that will anser alot of your questions. I recommend installing Dynamix SSD Trim plugin from the app store to help take some wear and tear off your SSD. When creating shares hit the help (? top right hand corner) button and it will explain the allocation method and the split level.

Power down and plug your USB into your PC and run chkdsk. Fix any errors if found. Also install your USB into a USB 2 port on your server. I have had a USB port go wonky and changed it to my other USB port and it fixed my issues

I get a warning if my UPS loses connection. It would be nice to get a warning when the Unraid boot USB loses connection.

I found the Unbalance plugin works very well for moving the files off the old drives to a disk or disks of your choosing. That way you can maintain parity the entire time with the "Clear Drive the Remove Drive" method.

When I first built my unraid my USB would get corrupted every few months. Putting it in a windows PC and running a chkdsk would fix it. One day I took a backup of the USB and re formatted it (not a quick format) and it never corrupted again and its been years. That stick is 7-8 years old. May be worth a try to run a chkdsk.

Ok so just an update. Memtest ran for 24 hours with 0 errors. No incidents since changing usb to another port. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks guys!

Ok thanks it was in a USB 2 port. I will move it to another USB 2 port tonight after the memtest. I booted unraid into memtest and am letting it run. It lists all 4 ram sticks and started running as soon as I loaded it. I assume it will automatically check all 4 sticks?

Is there anyway to verify if this is the case? Or is it just trial and error and see how it goes with another port?
