Boot

Thanks so much! Glad to hear its on the roadmap. I have been incredibly impressed with this company's continual feature improvement and will happily wait as long as they need.

Hey guys, I've had a pretty elaborately setup Unraid server for about a year and would like to do some & cache / pool overhauling while I also explore 6.12. I currently have a 'scratch' share, with a dedicated NVME drive pool, that I use as a generic network drive. My 'media' share has it's own SATA SSD cache that feeds my array. This works great 95% of the time, as there is little overlap in their use; with the 'media' share being used almost exclusively by Sonarr, Radarr, and Qbittorrent. However, sometimes I'll have non-torrent media on the 'scratch' share, and the 'scratch' drive pool, that I need to move to the 'media' share & drives. This always results in a 'media' share folder being created on the 'scratch' drive pool, where it will stay when mover runs. Which means I have to go and temporarily change the 'media' share cache settings to the 'scratch' drives to get it to move to the array. It's annoying Is there any way to get Unraid to simply move files between shares AND their assigned pools / cache? Or are my only options 1.) the manual acrobatics I'm doing now 2.) have one cache / pool for both the media share and scratch share? I'd appreciate any thoughts!

Makes sense! I have plenty of nonsensitive content I can transfer to the drive to fill it up with new data. I'll go with that approach. Thank you so much! You've been a big help. 🍻

Thank you for the advice. You're always super helpful! Would love your thoughts on the below & attached. I've attached my system log after a reboot, I don't recall seeing the last 2 warnings before, but it's been a while since I've looked at the logs and could be unrelated. As for the file system check, I don't know what the results mean. I see steps being skipped, but don't know if that's good or bad haha. The share was isolated to a single 18tb drive. Is there a better way to clear it than shrinking the array, clearing / reformatting the drive, and re-adding it? Thanks again!

I wasn't thinking and tried to delete a share, that had 4tb of data, with Krusader. Krusader hung for several minutes, and I hit cancel hoping to go do delete it the proper way (also probably dumb of me). However, the data appears to be gone from the drives, and the share is gone from the UI. There was still a boot config file, and after removing it, I'm not getting any errors in the log files. Is there anything else I should do or look into? It was pretty sensitive data and I want to make sure it is truly deleted; without any lingering files or references. Thanks!

Thanks! Using that as my plan B. Was pretty slow when I tried it, but will be a good option for future files if I do it while they’re still on the cache. I’m going to play around with some shell scripts this weekend. Thanks again!

Hey everyone! I'm new to Unraid, and have been putting in a lot of time and $$ into building my machine and learning this OS. I love it! I've been able to learn a lot from what's already on the interwebs, but recently hit a snag. I have ~500 photo gallaries in .zip files. I need a way to batch extract them where each file gets extracted into a new folder / directory named after it. Example: gallery1.zip > gallery1 (folder/directory) gallery2.zip > gallery2 (folder/directory) gallery3.zip > gallery3 (folder/directory) Does anyone have advice on how to do this? Krusader doesn't work (forces manually naming the folder). I'm comfortable with code, so I'm open to any options here, even the less newbie friendly ones. Thanks!
