  1. Cool right on, Thanks. yes I have a few 4TB red's in my array already, no issues. In regards to preclear, we don't have to use the -A command with preclear on drives larger then 2TB anymore right ? perhaps refresh my mind with the EXACT preclear command on drives larger then 2TB going off memory i think it is preclear_disk.sh /dev/sdX (where X is the drive letter a-z) I recall having to do preclear_disk.sh -A /dev/sdX
  2. Hello all, I was just looking around doing a computer quote for someone and saw WD has 6TB Reds out on the market. I thought to myself, hm new parity drive, however I was unsure if UnRAID supports the 6TB models / size as of yet. Thought I would post a new topic on it to find out if there is support for them or future coming support, perhaps in future versions Here is a link to the drive, as well as drive description... Thank you for anyone that can shed some light on the matter. http://www.ncix.com/detail/western-digital-wd60efrx-6tb-red-22-99935-1493.htm Western Digital WD60EFRX 6TB Red SATA3 6GB/S 64MB Cache 3.5in Hard Drive Part #: WD60EFRX
  3. Hello, I am drawing a blank with the pre-clear and the bigger drives again (sorry) With the 4TB and 3TB Western Digital RED drives, when pre-clearing do I still use -A or -a ? I.e. preclear_disk.sh -A /dev/sdX (x being the drive) || preclear_disk.sh -a /dev/sdX (x being the drive) Thank you :-)
  4. OK right on, thank you :-) yah I did two parity checks to see if the errors corrected on the second pass and got the same write and error stats on the disk, however parity check itself reported no errors , guess ill pull a SMART tomorrow.
  5. I was just doing a preclear on another unraid system (not mine) and noticed something odd. 2 TB 1.77 TB 227 GB 13,936,475 1679 (writes) 1679 (errors) However when the parity check was complete it stated no errors... Last checked on (today), finding 0 errors. > Duration: 9 hours, 52 minutes, 28 seconds. Average speed: 56.3 MB/sec The disk reports errors, however the parity check complete status does not, any reason for that ?
  6. I am looking for a way for FORCE DELETE a directory that windows will not allow me to remove off a disk the folder is under disk 11 /mnt/disk11/OLD/ (has approx 20mb in it of files and folders) an old plex index/library folder. I tried to telnet and remove the directory but had no success, is there a way to access and remove it from console?
  7. Thank you everyone ! Unraid keeps getting better and better, I did post about having a 'TOTAL' row within there while back, and now it's here. Always looking forward with what's to come :-)
  8. Plugin/webGui/Upgrade webGui Awesome, new GUI looks excellent! Thank you!
  9. Is there a download / update to install or use the new menu system?
  10. Yah I use 'TheRenamer' seems to work fine. It is a rare show '24CH' All about montreal canadians. Just seems odd it added one show but not all of them. And I have tried to rename them 2 different times as well directly point the folder into my 'TV SHOW' section in PLEX. Not a huge deal, I can always manually browse to the files via explorer and watch that way :-)
  11. Thank you for all the help regarding this topic, the community here is absolutely helpful with questions and concerns. I think I got most of everything running smooth now. Now I am just trying to understand how to force episodes into the show name. For Example, I have a show here, with 8 episodes, yet only one is showing up in PLEX, not a huge deal just another learning curve
  12. Yah, that is exactly why I grabbed a 60gb SSD today, for plex, cause I noticed it would keep my 2TB disk spinning which I didn't want. This way seems alot better, I will just keep it as cache for now with just PLEX folder on it, see how it goes :-)
  13. Nice awesome, yah well maybe I should set this drive up as an APPS DRIVE and not cache, most plex posts always had their lib and temp pointed to cache. I could always change it to an apps drive, and toss a bigger disk in for cache, because yes I have done large file xfers in the past, baby steps :-) awesome response, I am just copying PLEX as we speak.... then going to reboot and test.
  14. So I add the cache disk, format it via GUI, and parity check as well. It becomes part of the array or does it stay outside of the array ? Copy over my PLEX folder from disk11 to cache, and point plex to cache, and should be good to go ? (going to try that anyways) Do I need to use any add-ons now that I have a cache drive, I like to keep things simple, is mover part of UnRAID and using the cache drive functionally or do you need to add it as a specific add-on
  15. OK I am going to pick up a small SSD drive for Plex, I think I will probably move my path to the new SSD (cache) drive for plex and just rebuild my library, I feel if I move the 6gb of metadata to my new path something might go funky. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this?
  16. Alright so how big of a cache drive do you suggest. I am going to be away for 3 weeks, so I won't be able to install something until November. Would a 120GB SSD work alright for cache and plex ? As well all the plex stuff on my disk11 (about 5GB worth of metadata etc) could I just move that to my new 'cache only' share, once I install a cache disk ? Or am I probably going to have to rebuild my plex database ?
  17. Hm, I dunno, did I miss something in regards? Going to look into that now I guess on how to do that. I have a share setup for PLEX on one of my disks, but I don't see anything to adjust it to cache only :-/ Been looking around to try to find out what this 'cache only' share it to setup, I have seen talk about it, but I have nothing in my share settings in unraid that allows me to make a cache only share Even when I stop plex media server, and spin down all drives, withing a few min, that same drive is spun up again , hm
  18. I have my PLEX /Library and /Temp on disk 11. It would seem even when I manually tell my server to spin down all disks, they do. However approx 3 - 5 minutes later disk11 is spun back up. There is no one accessing plex or my server shares at all. I was just testing it for self knowledge if the disk stays spinning with this new addition of PMS. I don't want that disk to be spinning, so I am thinking the solution may be to add and SSD into the array to avoid wear and tear ? Is there a way to have the PLEX Library and Temp on another USB Flash drive? Or can that not be mounted ? Let me know thoughts, or suggestions. Thank you.
  19. Hm interesting idea, So channels like Netflix and Hulu will be there on the Windows / Mac installs. I noticed I installed channels like ABC / NBC etc from PMS (unraid) when I go to access them, it tells me the channel can not be run on windows, I didn't know if it was because it was running on my UnRaid box or what. I'd love to get netflix chan in plex just to make it a one stop interface. I saw this http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/77294-how-do-i-get-netflix-on-the-plex-app/ Also saw this comment, Misc compared to MediaPortal: 1) Netflix plugin/channel for both PLEX and MediaPortal are far from ideal. Developer support is limited, the PLEX UnRaid version of Netflix doesn't work due to the need for Silverlight (although maybe when Netflix move to HTML5 we'll have a solution!). The developer of the MediaPortal Netflix plugin has abandoned development.
  20. Thanks yes, I was reading that. Perhaps that day in the future will exist, I don't really use netflix much, mostly my NAS but it would be nice to have everything right in one interface. Seems like netflix has its issues with Windows/Apple PMS anyways too.
  21. Anyone know how to manually add channels to PLEX for UnRaid I have the bundle files, netflix / hulu / citytv / crackle / cc and would like to add them to my plex server. Suprising PLEX doesn't have them there already.
  22. So because I am putting my library and temp dir's on disk11, disk 11 and parity will be running 24/7? Library = /mnt/disk11/PLEX/library Temp = /mnt/disk11/PLEX/temp Cause if need be I will purchase an small SSD like you did for this sort of thing... currently trying PLEX for the first time on UnRaid, its just scanning all my media.
  23. Quick question before I get into this. Does plex allow you to use mouse to function everything, or do you HAVE to to a keyboard or IR remote. Reason I ask I was just testing media portal, and mouse functionally was weak, I didn't like it really at all, It was a glorified windows explorer it seemed.
