I did that with the bz files but it didn't work. Since I suspected it could be hardware, I used the RAM from my desktop and put it inside my Unraid NAS, no more bzfirmware issue, got stucked once or twice trying to boot but at different level. Then it reached the login page. I hope that was it. These were some 10 years old RAM sticks from my old desktop, RIP...

Hello, I received the new thumb drive, fresh install of 6.12.4, still stuck at bzfirmware...

Hello Jorge, Thank you for your answer. Will do, how about config files? BR, David

Hello, Yet another Unraid is not booting topic. It started yesterday, I don't even know why since it was running for two months and I did nothing to stop it. Anyways. It was not able to start again. I brought the server in my room so I could see what was going on with a monitor, plugged a keyboard etc. At first, not possible to go through bzfirmware checksum, error and reboot. I reinstalled my flash drive (sandisk cruzer fit) with the Unraid soft and copied my config files. Once, it worked and got passed the bzfirmware and got stuck there, here is the screen : I tried again, now it stops at another bz files... Strongly indicates the thumb drive. Everytime I flash the drive, it seems to work once (not sure anymore with the many attemps I did) but not twice and get stucked at checksum afterwards. I ordered a new thumb drive but in the meantime, having some feedback would not hurt. Especially to decipher the INIT warning messages. What is going on? Thanks in advance community.

You totally rock dimebag, I installed system temp and now I can detect pwm on the mobo! It's quite the mess, there is multiple pwm entries but I have to work it out. Many many thanks.

Yup, same problem. I wonder how I can get the plugin to access the pwm chip on my mobo.

Hello, I have installed the plugin to help me manage the fan speed in regards to HDD temp but the plugin is not finding any of the fan. My motherboard is an Asrock H670 mITX and the fans are Noctuas' with the PWM feature. PWM feature is activated in the BIOS. I have the latest version of Unraid and the plugin is up to date. It is probably the PWM controller from the mobo which is not recognized? Do you know if there is a trick to get fan control to recognize the fans plugged in chassis fan 1 on this mobo? Thank you in advance,

Hey everyone, I am looking for a way to add two new function to my unraid server. The first one is an hba card to add more sata and the second is a 10gbe network card. My hardware is as follows : Asrock h670 mini itx Intel 12100 Crucial ddr4 3200 2x8gb Node 304 Several hc560 I ordered an hba card already, a 9207-8i and a small fan to cool it. I would like to be able to add a 10gbe sfp+ card to the server. The mobo support bifurcation, I have only one slot but it could split 16x to 2 8x thanks to an option in the bios. How do I do that trick? I am in Europe, could you point out a few references of hardware ? From what I’ve seen, I could use a riser that goes into the pcie slot and would have two cables that goes into two pcie daughter boards where could plug the hba and the nic. I would get the nic card on the last slot of the node since there is nothing there and would put the hba card inside with a fan. I d like some feedback if this is possible. Thank you in advance. Edit : I could also transform one of the nvme slot into pcie and fit the lsi sad card there?

Hello lolight, Thank you for your answer. You're right, it makes a lot of sense going with the 804 instead. First, I'll save a few bucks on the micro ATX as it is cheaper and I won't need an expansion card. Second, and probably most important, you make a very valid point about having a better cooling over all, shall be a great thing for the disks on the longer run I guess. About the PSU, you are totally right, I won't overlook it, a good PSU will enhance the MTBF of all other components of the unit because it delivers a better current. I'll look at your link, thank you very much. About the motherboard, micro ATX, 8 SATA ports, 2.5GBe natively, would you know a reference? Is there a similar website for the tier list mobo?

Hey there, Brand new to Unraid, I'm starting this post to get a feedback about my hardware shopping list and to get some best practices. First of all, I need to install a NAS at home to isolate the HDD in a room where we are not spending our time because they are noisy. I would also like to have access to data from any computers in the house. It will mainly be used to store some media files, big one, like 1:1 mkv rip I am making from my media collection (900 blu ray, 400 dvd and 250 4k disks). I am using madvr on some other computer to do the playback, the image quality is better on a videoprojector than with my panasonic blu ray player... Also music files so it is possible to listen to my library from the bedroom or the living room. Why Unraid? First of all because it is flexible, I don't want to invest in all the disks at the same time like zfs would ask me to. I also don't want to have a giant pool like in a classical raid meaning if anything goes wrong, I lose everyting. I also want the disks to be in a dedicated hardware and software, I think it is better for them to be operated this way in the long run. Also, the ease of use of the operating system, the ability to have the data available 24/7 from a device that has a low consumption unlike the two other computers in the house equipped with recent GPUs. At this point, I have read some people are using their NAS with Proxmox and Unraid in a VM so that they can use it also for domotic purpose using another dedicated VM, I am not at that level so far But I could be interested in the future. I don't need the highest performance since the main usage will be to store massive amount of video files and make them available for the other computer over a 2.5Gbe network I've set up at home. No critical data. Here is the hardware I have chosen so far : Node 304 white Asrock H670 M ITX Intel 12100 Crucial DDR4 2400Mhz 2x8Gb I chose the Node for its form factor and also because white is WAF compliant since the NAS will be in the main room right next to the router (a freebox delta, it has a SFP+ 10gbe output, I will use a Qnap switch to convert 10gbe to 2.5gbe). I chose the asrock even if it is a bit expensive because it supports recent Intel processor and it has 2.5GBe support. I chose the 12100 because it is a solid performer and requires very low electrical consumption. Plus it has an iGPU. The Crucial is something I got from a previous pc that died a few months ago, I think it is enough for what I intend to do. I am looking for a nvme, a power supply and an extension card to get the last two hdds in place since the mobo provides only 4 sata port. I guess 500GB for the nvme is far from enough, right? For the PSU, I'm not finding anything below 300watts nor fully modular. I guess I need to go with SFF PSU, what do you guys think? For the extension card, I don't know how it works, should I plug one in the PCIE port? And then connect all disks to it or also use the mobo SATA port? If you could propose some references or any insight. About the storage and the HDDs. I own one 4TB HDD but this one will only be temporary in the NAS. I own two Ultrastar HC560, 20TB each HDDs. These guys are loud Currently, they are full, formatted in NTFS and in a Windows 11 operated full tower in the living room. My plan is to buy another 20TB disk, fit it in inside the Unraid NAS, format it to XFS (good choice?) and start transferring data from one of the full disk to this disk. Then get the disk I just emptied out of the Windows tower and put it in the Unraid NAS, format it and do the same trick. I'll probably use the last disk as parity or maybe not, the disks have been bought during the last six months (not at the same time) so I think it is OK to put a parity in place a bit later in the year. I'll probably go for a total of 6 20TB HDDs, one dedicated for parity. I'm here so you guys can give me a proper feedback, first of all about if my media storage use case will be OK, what about my shopping list, should I optimize it? Is the workflow I have imagined to transfer the disk from Windows to Unraid is doable?
