I too am having this issue as well... I tried the nvidia-persistenced --persistence-mode and it didnt change a thing... still have yet to get hw transcoding to work... so maybe it's something on my end... +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 470.94 Driver Version: 470.94 CUDA Version: 11.4 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

I an not an expert... but when your preclear states that it failed on 2.1 tb of data... and this is a 8tb drive... kinda makes me wonder... are you 100% sure you cleared the correct drive? else... I would return the drive... no reason to keep/troubleshoot a drive that is acting funny from the start...

Hello all... Came across this HDD that seems to be a good deal... But I have never shopped at this site before... Seems to be a good price and it's an SATA drive... seems like it would work with unraid... but maybe im missing something... Do any of you have thoughts on the HDD? https://www.macpartstore.com/huh728080aln600-hgst-huh728080aln600-ultrastar-he8-8tb-7200rpm-sata-6gbps-128mb-buffer-4kn-ise-35inch-helium-platform-enterprise-hard-drive-with-mfg-warranty.html?gad=macpartstore

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if any of you are still able to update your docker apps. When I check for updates I get 'Not available' that is the result for all 8 dockers I have. Thanks, mathomas3

with this new HDD heavy blockchain coming online it seems like a bad time to buy any hdd while im currently on 8tbs.... im about to fill out my current array... I will need to use my only spare HDD to extend the array... hope that i dont have a failure/fill the array till the prices come back to normal...

Hello I have been resisting posting about this issue... in short Plex will be in the middle of playing a video and then become unresponsive for about 60 seconds... my current setup... plex official docker UnRaid 6.8.3 16gb Ram 8 core AMD CPU 384gb Plex DB on 512 SSD inside of Array 11 Disk Raid 48.9tb used of 66.5tb total size Eero 2019 Mesh Network The unresponsiveness happens randomly it seems... I dont think it's my network setup being bogged down due to one stream pausing while the other continues to function but also using that logic the plex server wouldnt also be at issue because one viewer is still streaming... could this be an HDD I/O bandwidth issue? im scraching my head into where the possible issue might be... or really where to start... I will be wiring my Mesh Routers together in an attempt to rule out the network side of it... anything that you could suggest to narrow down the issue would be of great help.

my DB is sitting at 394gb...

ATi... Preclearing is hard on drives... and given the age of these drives... that might be right that they are failing... I doubt that these drives have had to do anything this hard for a while...

Ended up finding out what the issue was... this video explains it all... https://youtu.be/fnISM_LMuss but in short... these sas drives are designed in a way that when they are receiving power on the 3rd pin the drive understands this as power off... that's why unraid was never able to see the drive... and the drives never spun up like I thought that they were... I just used a small bit of tape to cover that pin(very small bit of tape) and the drives came up... these drives are HGST HUH728080AL4200 3.5" 8TB SAS 12Gb/s 7.2K RPM 128M 0F23651 4Kn ISE Enterprise Hard Drive https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X8Z77W8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 also using the following adapter cable Mini SAS Cable with SATA Power, CableCreation Internal Mini SAS 36 Pin to 4 x 29 Pin Cord with SATA Power, SFF-8087 to SFF-8482 Cable, 3.3 FT https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013G4FEGG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Welp... Just got in the new cables... And those drives are not showing up... So i am lost as to what my next step should be... 2 dead drives new out of the box???

Something like this? BTW thanks for the help... Dealing with sad is a little out of my wheelhouse... Have a feeling that some of my questions must seem very basic to you

im 90% sure that they are spinning up... (not a strong feel that I get from my other drives but still a vibration of it starting) In this Diag... I connected them to a known good serial cable that's also connected to the two 5tb drives... If I can make any sense of the logs... I would expect the drive to be sd 11:0:9:0 I guess the next thing to try is to pull the drives and test them in a different box? tower-diagnostics-20200806-1256.zip

tower-diagnostics-20200806-1243.zip Reran the Diags after checking physical connections. I can feel the drives spinning up... They are connected to the LSI controller on their own serial connection

at the time of the diag report... the SAS drives were connected the the LSI... which would suggest that perhaps I have a connectivity issue... I will recheck the physical connections... on a side note... I am using the following adapters for the drives... chenyang CY SATA Hard Disk Drive Raid Adapter with 15 Pin Power Port 7 Pin + 15 Pin to SFF-8482 SAS 22 Pin Converter

tower-diagnostics-20200806-1220.zip Diags are attached

Hello... I have a little issue that I have... Currently I have 9 SATA drives and 3 SSD SATA drives using LSI SAS2116... I would like to add SAS drives... Problem is that they are not coming up in unraid... I have tried... 2 sas 2 sata on the same serial cable 2 sas on it's own serial cable 2 sas on a completely separate sas controller 3ware 9650SE SATA-II RAID PCIe (rev 01) (untested in unraid) I have not gone into the setting for the controllers as of yet... so my questions are... Is there a setting that I need to change in the controllers to enable SAS drives? can you mix and match SAS SATA on the same contoller?

30 Bucks? that's alot cheaper then the route that I went... Searched on amazon for your card and it came out at 400+... newegg refurbish shows your card for 50... Nice! Here is what i got $240 16-PORT Int, 6GB/S Sata+sas, Pcie 2.0; In The Box: Lsi Sas 9201-16I, Qig, Driver

We use our drives the same... I just wanted to write to the disk one time and get that part over with... before when I was using WD greens... I would have a high failure rate with them... Im hoping that using this method will yield better results... at one time I had 3 6tb drives... All failed.. and to this day I have 2 5tb still up and running... strange these HDDS are... I have had good luck with 8tb drives though... havent had a single one go bad yet.

Hello, Wanted to gather your thoughts on a little plan that I have... Plan is to chuck a seagate drive after preclearing it twice... and after which doing a one time copy of data to it... Plan is to replace one of my full HDDs with the chucked drive and then use the non chucked drive as a "new" data drive... The process that I think that would work easiest is to 1. remove Drive 1 (to be replaced drive) 2. Start array to have it "see" a missing/failed drive 3. stop array and assign chucked drive in it's place 4. start array and have it rebuild the chucked drive 5. stop array and assign Drive 1 as a new data drive The goal of this is to assume that this chucked drive is "weak" and to give this drive the best chances to surviving, write all 8tb of data to it at one time... so the rest of it's life is spent just reading data and not writing it... Does this logic hold water? have any of you done this before? I just cant ignore the fact that this drive was half the cost of a normal WD red(which I have had good luck with) BTW since moving to only Reds I havent had a HDD fail on me in over 1.5 years now... normally for me I would have 1 or 2 die in that time... so am i going down that path again of failure or does this little trick of mine have some hope... Thanks for any input you have Mat

no... BOTH CACHE drives need to be = or larger then any data drive... so one 12tb and a 10tb parity with a 12tb data drive... that 12tb data drive will be limited to 10tb...(or not work at all... Iv never done this... so I dont know what will happen)

Relink, Hello... im not going to be a big help to you here... I can only share what happens with my system... I have the ryzen 2300g and 8gigs of ram... I run there dockers only... and after nearly a year running with out issues I started to notice that my ram usage was 80%+ I would shutdown/reboot my dockers and it would bring things back inline to about 50%... and within a few days it would be back up to 80%... So I dont know it's it's like a memory creep of unraid or not... but I just elected to buy more ram and since DDR4 prices have dropped so much I bought 16gigs more... So what your describing is a bit more extreme then my situation, but i hope it might help

I havent done NFS with unraid... I would be of little use

my array has 8 disk with 2 cache and 1 parity... the bottle neck in my system is the 1 parity drive... and I have never had that much of a lag in deleting files... you might try deleting those files from the unraid box itself and see if the lag persists... I wouldnt expect it to... you can open us a console in the web browser and using basic commands to navigate to your share... normally it would be something like cd /mnt/usr/ ls (will list contents in your current directory) cd (name of your directory/share) rm -rf ./* (please note that linux expects you to know what your doing... you can delete some important files... and it will let you...) that can give you an idea how fast things can be deleted in your current setup... given that it goes well there... I would explore How you are accessing the share with your windows computer... your issue might be there...

Given I dont have the time to go into alot of detail... I will try to be brief... 1. Docker is it's on OS if you will... think of it like this... you can have many dockers that all "share" the same OS files... but each run in their own "sandbox"... where as a plugin would have access(can modify) the host OS of unraid 2. cant really help you with this subject... but i believe that unraid is using "Zen" as their VM engine... 3. I dont know of unraid "sleeping" but the times that cause heat mostly are the HDDs and the CPU... if nothing is accessing the HDDs... they will spin down when not in use... and the CPU wont have a load on it at the time... 4. there are dockers that might be able to help with downloading these things... there are dockers for everything it seems... one or two of them might be a fit for you... also you can have unraid mapped to your computer like a local HDD so when downloading something it could go directly to it vs your computer then unraid. 5. Trial... while I havent seen someone do it... I would expect that you could... Try using a rasberrypi to give unraid a spin... just use a few external HDDs Or just one external HDD to poke around with... You talk about having a 24bay enclosure... that's alot of hdds... might I ask why... that type of system would require a Large PCU and a SAS controller... many people here have a wide verity of disks in their array... but at some point it's cheaper to upgrade a 500gig hdd to an 8tb vs adding many more hdds...

given that you dont have a parity drive yet... I will note that having the files local on your computer vs having them on a network drive are two different things... things to consider are bandwidth... wireless/wired connection... SSD vs HHD... and protocol... these are are few things to consider when trying to figure out what is normal or not... depending on your needs... perhaps a normal raid might be a better fit... unraid files are written to a single disk ie. slower on the read and write... normal raid will write files to many disk... thus when you wait to access a file... you have 2+ hdds to read the file(twice as fast) but also twice the cost for 2 drives vs 1... just some things to consider when choosing your storage solution
