  1. Disable, I understand but is it too drastic to require a rebuild every time? Is there anyway to avoid it? I mean all it can be is just a wonky cable. Yeah, but even if it was "just a wonky cable" the contents of the drive that could not be written to will still be out of sync with the rest of the array...
  2. Looks like the drive was formatted around Apr 25 21:13:15.
  3. See Need help? Read me first! regarding Diagnostics. What speeds do you get over the network when reading files from the unRAID server? Did Turbo Write make any difference?
  4. Not really enough info, post diagnostics. I would assume that you have a parity protected array with at least two disks and that the bottleneck when writing is due to parity generation rather than the network. Turbo Write or a cache drive could be worth checking out. If you transfer FROM the unRAID server to another machine, do you get decent speeds?
  5. Yes, they are wrong in a way that would align perfectly with your symptoms. The thread you linked contains more details if you are curious.
  6. Well, of course it supports static IP addresses, they are not magic or even difficult to handle. The problem for you is that you would need someone to assign you a static IP, and that is not likely happen. Forget about a static public IP for now and explore the dynamic DNS solution first.
  7. If you look at the first image i attached, on the far right, you might have to scroll sideways, side there's the terminal of my client. The user accounts are not intended for login through SSH. Go for root instead. Edit: It is not clear if you tried root after removing the plugin or that the behavior is perfectly identical to your non-root example.
  8. If you need a static public IP address you need to ask your internet service provider about your options, or get a subscription with a VPN provider that offers a public IP address. Both options will likely cost you, though. Most people settle for a dynamic DNS service that maps a domain name to your dynamic IP and where some client software updates the IP address behind the scenes when necessary.
  9. Looks to me like the read verification phase found something that was not all zeroes although it should have been. You should absolutely not add the drive to the array in that state as it was not properly precleared. Mostly cleared is not enough. If you add the drive, your parity will be incorrect. You should also figure out why it failed. Bad disk perhaps?
  10. Wouldn't that make it extremely likely that the mover kicks in while you are in the active process of transferring files to the server, slowing everything to a crawl?
  11. My numbers were including upped allowed CPU usage unfortunately. And backing up the same set of terribly incompressible files to another computer on the LAN with CrashPlan is at least 30-40 times faster than it was backing up to CrashPlan Central, so the bottleneck is likely somewhere between my LAN and CrashPlan's servers.
  12. Reading RobJ's post might not be the solution, but it would certainly be a good start
  13. Depends on your definitions of "good workaround" and "not complicated". I use a FTP client to transfer data to my server and keep all SMB shares exported as read-only. For me, this is the definitive solution; No risk of accidentally deleting files through the Explorer and no disk trashing since I've set the FTP client to queue transfers and only transfer one file at a time.
  14. Never heard about a clone disk plugin for unRAID, probably because most people settle for backing up the contents of their disks rather than duplicating details that rarely matter. If I were to make a clone, for example to experiment with potentially invasive file recovery, I'd simply use dd. Pro: No need for breaking the array. Con: Not for the faint of hearth, easy to cause a monumental mess. Why do you want to clone disks?
  15. Absolutely. 100Mbit/s network connections would max out at roughly 11MB/s as there are 8 bits in a byte.
  16. For virtually any practical purpose the short answer to your question is no. Upgrade to gigabit.
  17. Northern Europe here, just trying out Crashplan (free trial) using the docker version so my short feedback might not be worth that much yet... Pretty consistent 4-6 megabits/s speeds to their servers throughout the first eight hours of upload. My connection is a 100/100 megabit/s connection and not much was competing for bandwidth during those hours, so probably as good as it gets for me. Haven't tried restoring anything yet. Uploading everything on the server will take more or like "forever". I would of course have preferred 4-6 megabytes/s over 4-6 megabits/s, but if it works reliably in the background I might just continue using Crashplan anyway. The vast majority of data on the server would just be inconvenient to lose, not disastrous, so a reasonably cheap cloud backup is very tempting.
  18. Yes, switching file systems will require formatting. No, parity won't let you get data back like that after formatting a drive, it won't help you change file systems. See the sticky thread "Format XFS on replacement drive / Convert from RFS to XFS" in this forum. If you insist on changing file systems, you need to have a copy of the data on the disk in question somewhere else and copy it back after formatting the drive.
  19. I'm running a Plex Docker (not the LT one) with a reasonably large library, and CPU utilisation is negligible when Plex is doing nothing (i5-4570S @ 2.90GHz). Are you sure Plex isn't rendering Video Preview Thumbnails/Media Index Files or something? What does the Plex log say? As for your signature, keep in mind that "b" is bit and "B" is byte. I assume you have 24GiB RAM and 2TB drives.
  20. Security update, yay! 6.1.9 checked. Now patiently waiting for 6.1.10. April 8th perhaps?
  21. User shares are perfectly fine to use if you have them enabled, but they are located at /mnt/user, not /user.
  22. The second command is wrong. You probably got the [/font] part by mistake when copying quoted text... Ahh ya, but still didn't work when I fixed it. The question mark is part of the text signaling a question, not part of the command.
  23. The second command is wrong. You probably got the [/font] part by mistake when copying quoted text...
  24. Can you show me the output of $ find "/mnt/disk3/Media/." ! -name . -prune -exec du -bs {} + ? Also a simple $ du -bs "/mnt/disk3/Media/" ? Its showing that there is no command found, am I doing something wrong? Im not the best when it comes to command line stuff. I completely deleted the downloads folder from disk 3 and it still does the same thing. $ is not part of the command, just du -bs "/mnt/disk3/Media/" should do the trick.
  25. Does the time look accurate? How did you adjust the server's date and time? Manually through the web interface? Or by enabling NTP? Or through bios? If manually, make sure the time zone is correct also. If through bios, make sure it is set to UTC time and not local time (if I recall correctly)
