    PhilipJFry's post in Settings -> Scheduler -> Custom. Is it possible to be even more granular? daily? was marked as the answer   
    The first time I installed it @itimpi, the disks overheat function kicked in... which is great.. (really like that feature).. except.. post the end of the accumulation duration, all drives are on and running (this is some 2hours post the end duration/time) with nothing connected to the server.
    I have since shutdown, and reorganised the hot WD drives into a position next to a fan.
    My wish list for the "Parity Check Tuning" would be to have different start/end times per day (rather than a 1 size fits all approach).
    Perhaps a future feature? would be to "watch" the activity of the server say over 24x7 and to suggest a schedule based on periods/blocks of inactivity...

    PhilipJFry's post in Quadro M2000 as just a transcoder. Possible? was marked as the answer   
    @ich777. I tried unmanic and well... nothing happened.
    According to the docs: "Simply point Unmanic at your library and let it manage it for you."... Yer well..  ahem!.. that did nothing.
    Watched a year old youtube video, and installed some plugins. But again.. nothing. Pressed the "RESCAN LIBRARY NOW" button (why is it all in caps?), and I can see it looking at the library, but all that comes up in pending tasks are a couple of mp3 audio files... like.. what the.
     
    So sadly, gave up on Unmanic or every using NVIDIA on Unraid.... on well.. cheers anyway @ich777 👍🏻

    PhilipJFry's post in Unraid ruined my external (usb) toshiba 2Tb drive!. Not happy rant! was marked as the answer   
    Sadly power cycling did nothing. The drive no longer mounts. As far as Unraid is concerned, its a 2TB drive with 0 bytes.
    Plugging into an iMac was similar, in that Disk Utility shows the external usb 3.0 media, but the physical volume remains unmountable.
    I'm not saying that Unraid did it, or damaged the FAT. Its just very coincidental that it happened when plugged into it and during a parity check.
    This is not the 1st time i have seen this. Had similar with a 4TB WD drive on an alternative NAS software and different hardware.
     
    Yup, the USB interface in general for serial comms is somewhat....  less robust that say direct SATA. Sadly, the USB interface in this instance is part of the whole HD circuitry.
     
    On well, lesson learnt.... I should have copied using an iMac across the network 🙂
