Hi so atm I have 4x4Tb drives one as parity, now just ordered a 18tb drive and I was planning on using it as parity and then would have the 4tb drives as array but wondered about running without parity till I can afford to get another 18tb drive (couple of months) and then use this as a new parity drive. Opinions please ? Thanks

Thanks I have now upgraded the hardware and it all boots as normal

Hi so i am looking to upgrade my drives from 4x4 ironwolf to start off getting a 10-16tb exos drive, how noisy are these really. atm my server sits in a spare bedroom cupboard with the door fully opened and i cant hear it but i will need to move it soon and it will be moved into the hall cupboard, so are they really noisy ? Thanks

I made sure my download client was off and mover had run, guess I was just impatient, I deleted the torrent share as I thought as it was in media share it was that, so new downloads share and sending files to cache Thanks

just to see my power levels do i just install the script from post 0ne ? Thanks

hi when qbittorrent is running i have one disk and parity running but everything should be on cache, i followed an online video to set qbittorrent up with the atomic moves video. any help on why it is writing to the array ? Thanks broxi-diagnostics-20230604-1049.zip

thanks its just i went from an A10 6700 that showed 45w at idle with no dockers running and all disks spun down and i thought this new processor would be more energy efficient

Hi with all disks spun down what should I be looking for in power draw, currently showing 45w on mine ?

solved

sorry they weren't lost in that sense, my bad phrasing, my old mb had 8 sata ports and i was using 7 of them, in a rush to upgrade to new mb i then found out that it only had 6 ports. Got round it by connecting one of the ssd drives by a usb adaptor and when up and running i used mc to move the files onto the nvme and after removing that ssd and running a parity check everything seems to be okay. Thanks

should have said running 6.11.5 Thanks i hope i solved this. i plugged the ssd into a usb port using an adaptor, and using mc moved all the files off it onto the new nvme, changed all the shares to point at this new disk and rebooted the system and it rebuilt parity ( think this was because i deleted the ssd after moving everything over) and everything appears to be working okay. Does this sound okay ? Thanks broxi-diagnostics-20230525-1050.zip

Hi so got in a mess upgraded my motherboard and found it had less sata ports, so ordered a nvme to replace one of my ssd drives. So I have a 1 Tb cache ssd with app data drive and a 120gb ssd with vm/docker on it and only one spare sata port, any help on how to do this ? Thanks

Sorry just seen this, it’s a z690 and I went with a nvme just to get the system running

Hi all upgrading my server and discovered that I am losing sata ports 8 down to 6 , so I am left with a 1Tb cache ssd and a 120 Gb vm/docker ssd to fit into one spare port. So wondered if I should just get a nvme and problem solved or go for a pcie-sata expansion card, any help ? Thanks

Sorry i did look but couldn't find anything. so got a pile of new hardware and only keeping my disks, so best way to swap the disks over after building the rest ? Thanks

Thanks plex also lost its libraries at this time so decided to uninstall and delete everything relating to plex, clean install and rescanned with fix common problems and all clear now and all plex files in the appdata in cache_ssd. Thanks

fix common problems reports this "Invalid folder cache contained within /mnt" had a look at my shares and they all point to cache_ ssd or vm_cache so where to look now think its plex as its appeared in /mnt/cache/appdata and also in /mnt/cache_ssd where it was supposed to be,and plex lost all libraries after this, any help please broxi-diagnostics-20230519-0754.zip

can i ask does appdata change in size when you download files or stay the same

Hi so i just seen that my appdata is in the array and not on a cache drive, i found out because one drive was always spun up when qbitorrent was running, so should it be on my cache drive ( 1TB) or on the vm/docker ssd (120Gb) ? Thanks

Hi just noticed on my dashboard that one of my discs had an orange thumb down and i found this, any help on what to do, have tried reseating the cables and checking they aren't kinked or tied together ? Thanks broxi-diagnostics-20230508-1040.zip

Hi just wondering how you all have your shares set up, currently rebuilding my array after starting again and want to get this right as I think I have made enough mistakes in the past with tinkering with the shares, this will be the final build, so follow what the unraid forums say and have separate shares for your different types of files (movies,tv,music) and the like, or use ibracorps with data/media/movies. Data/media tv. Data/media/music type setup ? Thanks

Thanks tower got it although i was trying the old ip address with no result, but all sorted now. Thanks

System reset plug-in rebooted the server but sitting with no access to it for an hour now, is something wrong as I can’t find out how long it takes to finish? Thanks

Hi so i did a lot of stupid things in the recent past since starting with unraid and have learned. so i have removed all my data from the array although its all still there with disks and would now like to wipe everything and start anew but if possible keep my one vm (home assistant) to reinstall in the new set up. is this possible and any pointers on how to achieve this ? Thanks

thanks i have moved the first files you speak of ad i changed the shares as i thought i would keep all movies on disks 1 & 2 and tv on 3 so that i could keep tabs on them and also thinking is the files were spread out i could end up having more than 1 disk running. all i want now is to be back to defaults. So i created a data share with media and then the films, tv inside that and atm i am using mc to move the movie files to /mnt/disk2/data/media/movies. i have also cleaned up the lose files back into the file share is there a way to delete all shares and start again keeping the files ?
