Perhaps it can give a X-days reprieve by allowing it to downgrade to trial\temporary license before it can reauthorize? I get you... I was gonna say that nowadays just about everyone has access to cellular internet and that most people would already find alternative ways to access the net if they experience outage for more than hours... But then again, personal\smartphone connectivity is very much different than a storage server's.. not to mention that some of these servers found their use due to the unavailability\unreliability of internet connection in the first place. So yeah, point taken. Anyway, this is just a feature request.... and I think a (reasonable) online licensing model today is much more acceptable than it was a few years ago.. and things will continue to move toward that end of the spectrum (everything is hyper connected).

They could leave the current (offline) licensing alone with v6.9 and just switch to online from v6.10 and onward... What are the argument for offline licensing these days? I mean, you still need to go online to get updates, addons, do online backups and whatnot. I never thought of hosting pfsense\firewall on a VM, but for my case... my unraid server seems to be the most 'available', since it has dual PSU, ECC ram, a higher quality supermicro motherboard, etc.... so in that sense, I'm leaning toward putting mission critical stuff on the best hardware that I own...

I see, now I understand more. I don't mind a different kind of licensing scheme to enable this feature, even one at higher price and with online activation... if you can think of a good way to implement it

Found out what was causing the problem... The ARP table on my managed switch has that particular ip set as static for another mac address (previous server)... after I cleared that mac address entry, everything is working as expected.

I'm on v6.9.2 ... and when I set a static IP from the web interface, the broadcast address is set to 0.0.0.0... I have to go to console and issue a manual ifconfig eth0 broadcast x.x.x.255 to fix things, but where can I define the broadcast address from the web interface? to add some info: I set my static ip as : 10.10.0.100, /24 subnet gateway as 10.10.0.1 Logically, it should calculate the broadcast address to be 10.10.0.255, but for some reason, it sets it to 0.0.0.0 I didn't realize it at first, and the machine just lost network connectivity (plex not working, app updates just called up the last cached version, etc)... until I went to console and checked (and corrected) with ifconfig. Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Thanks

With multiple arrays, I hope they let us turn on/off arrays individually.. I'd make a simple RAID-1 for the mission critical VMs that runs 24/7 that I don't mess around with.

Nice. I'm also ordering a few things to quiet my main 846... (those green caged supermicro fans and the quiet (ps or qs series) psu.

+1 to VMs that can stay up during array maintenance. Some disk maintenance can take awhile before the array becomes available again, that's the reason I'm still keeping my home automation VM on a separate VMWare machine.

Which motherboard\cpu did you pair with that case if you don't mind me asking?

Just vpn-d home and installed this plugin. Love it! Will have to wait til I actually get home and check the labels on the server to actually map the drives to the slot location I'm thinking of additional column in the 'data' table… 'Controller' and 'Port'. I'm not sure if you can derive this from the 'path' field or not? One more question… is 'drive light activity' possible?

Wow,mjust found out about this plugin and i love the idea of it! I'm gonna install it as soon as i get home. Btw, just throwing this out there, what about making a mapping for the sata-sas controllers too? It's useful to keep a mapping of the ports/controllers assignment, especially if you use multiple controllers and expanders... In case of troubleshooting and identifying performance bottlenecks.

The dashboard screen shows the number of open (active) streams for each share in real-time. What about the part that lists the open filenames and the ip/friendly name?

@bonienl: I love your plugins! One question: is it possible or is there a plan to put Active Streams in Unraid v6 dashboard screen? Cheers

Hi Rick, so far so good with the G4? I'm looking to get another mobilelite (already have two G3s) but the G3s are not available anymore. PS: How does Tom know whether a GUID is unique or not? Buy more than one reader and compare?

As I need to copy data back to empty disk, I took the time to convert some of them to xfs and found this post as the guide. Prior to reading about this rsync method, I was running diff -r on the two drives and was not finding any differences, but when I followed this rsync method, I quite a long list of files in the verify.txt dump. I was quite surprised and I compared some of the files with diff but it didn't show any difference. What did I do wrong? I'm on 6b15, the files were copied with mc, and I did compare the file permission and ownership and they look the same. Of note, I'm running the rsync while also copying files (to/from completely unrelated disks/paths); but they shouldn't interfere with one another, right. Edit: Fingers crossed, it was a trailing slash issue. Edit2: It WAS a trailing slash issue. Thank goodness.
