V6.6.1 to .6 - so far, all looks OK. Crashplan & MakeMkv_rdp dockers. Win m10 with dual GPU, sata controller, & usb 3.1 passtgrough (with Steamlink host). Win 7 vnc, no passtgrough. Preclear, cache dir, user scripts, etc.

Good day @saarg I have the "/Unraid" path (host path 2) set to "/mnt/user/Media/MakeMKV/" however in the GUI when I go to convert a video it attempts to save to "/nobody/Videos/nameofvid" and gives no way to navigate to any useful looking location. Anything ideas on this one? Best NM.... I was reading backwards through the forum... on the second page I found the answer... One must browse from Nobody, up a directory to UnRaid folder in the web gui

Smoking

(it was around 9w diff if memory serves).

@garycase power draw at idle is 36w with the replacement mobo/cpu/ram. The D525 with the same supporting hardware was in the upper 20s. This is with fans that do not slow down, ssd cache, and an IBM 8 port SAS card. At load is higher, however parity check is halfed and file transfer speeds are increased so, based on my usage of this machine, is not material.

Thank you much

Thank you both☺️

Good day folks 1 - A year or so back Gmail moved to 2 factor authentication... Which (at the time at least) did not work with unraid 2 - NMA stopped working a few months back and looking at their website it appears they shutdown support in May What are folks using to receive notifications to either email or Android as of Fall 2018?

@gfjardim good day! I've had need of this wonderful tool once again and have found on the latest and greatest (6.6.3) access of any disk unassigned and the preclear itself fails then requiring a full reboot before disks are visible / usable once again under UD and PC. Uninstalling unassigned devices (temporary) resolved the issue. Would it be possible to include a toggle which disables all hooks into unassigned devices? Thanks for the fantastic work!

Pauven - that tool was wonderful!

Check your neighborhood homes, preferably when they are out for the day. Kidding! Buddy wanted me to build a ryzen/2080 overkill vr gaming rig. He was going to litterally throw away his old machine.

Sorry @garycase - - I measured the power draw difference via my UPS and while I no longer remember the watt difference the dollar difference is under $10/year. I did disable all unused board features and hyperthreading. But... Nearly 3x passmark on a single core x 4 vs D525. Win. The disk temp 'issue' is odd indeed.

@garycase. Extensive D525 speed tests in different configs here / in my sig: Up until last update I could still access the D525 gui/ssh during a parity check - but file access would fail. Significant performance gains were had via windows tweaks, the fantastic depreciated disk tunables, cetc. I'd still be tweaking this great low power 2012? board... But the free high power board/ram/CPU doesn't draw much more at idle... So it is off to testers heaven for the atom

@garycase. On the exact same board - all 4tb and dual parity - this last update cycle made it so any interaction with the server (disk, Gui. or ssh) during parity check would lockup and require a hard reboot. As I've recently come across a 3rd gen? i7 and matching mobo/ram I decided to disable HT and swap out the hardware. Looks like I'm finally done with the long suffering D525.

Lime'N'Chill. I really love my unRaind

@limetech on 'slightly' older hardware where it is unlikely the manufacturer is going to provide an bios update - does disabling the various VM settings and hyperthreading (Intel) within bios provide adequate protection from spectre and meltdown?

2018.10.82 At the 6.5.3+ updates the web Gui / SSH / etc becomes fully inaccessible during the 20 hour dual disk parity check. Attempting server use results now in a crashed system. Dropping to single parity / dropping plug-ins (cache dir, etc) allows the system to continue to function as a pure Nas. Swapped in an unused Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe with 16 GB of ram, the latest 2014 bios, and a i7-3770K with hyperthreading disabled (spectre/meltdown) - and a single thread passmark of 2083... Cuts the dual parity check down to 8 hours, everything remains super responsive, and transfer speeds to the shares has skyrocketed. As an interesting aside, disk Temps have plummeted

Delarius - thank you for that. the response is the same as if I issue the powerdown command via the powerdown button on the Main webgui screen... it reboots. Sadly the bios settings are not available via IPMI so I will need to delay poking around the bios for a short bit.

You do not need to pass through entire usb controller for a few static devices. Add the *libvert hotplug usb* plugin and you can mount individual peripherals to the VM with no impact to host addressing.

Is a Scrub automated by dynamix trim for SSDs? If not, would you recommend setting up a user scripts automatic Scrub every few months?

WOW - That was wicket fast! My main server is now updated. Initial look, very happy. Nice work! I have not yet confirmed NFS functionality, but the VMs are working great, docker pinning is fantastic And you guys have made rolling back so easy that if NFS isn't working, no big deal for the short term, so not at all worried if it has an issue atm. What is Compute All under Shares? Minor notes for the work in progress at some point... Grey is - impossible to read on my laptop screen (contrast issue) Black is damn near flawless. Super great to look at. Would like ability to change the top all whiteish header to something darker as 99% of my viewtime in the gui is very late at night in a dark room. Even that burnt burgendy on the left hand side of the command box outlines would be stellar.

Updated the work Dell - zero issues. 1vm win 10 with gpu and Intel nic pass through. Still using the saslp Supermicro (marvel) disk controller. Web Gui is very pretty and feels snappier. Nice job.

Good day crew, If I give my server a single press of the physical powerdown button it shuts down cleanly. If the UPS triggers a powerdown at a certain remaining battery life it shuts down cleanly. If via the IP.Address/Main I stop the array and then select power down this initiates the same results as selecting reboot - the machine reboots Any hints on the first steps of troubleshooting this? Here is the rig: I am on 6.5.3 until the 6.6 NFS issue is cleared up on this rig. Thanks crew! Chris

2 different items may be flashed for this supermicro board These must be flashed separately The Bios The IPMI/Redfish. Note that the redfish version is always in sync with the latest IPMI firmware. In other words, you only need to update the IPMI/Redfish when the IPMI version increments from your currently listed version. You may view the current Bios reversion and the current IPMI revision via the IPMI web browser address. Method 1: Method 2: Remote update via IPMI interface/web portal OOB / Out of Band Firmware manage node license is required. You need to obtain the BMC MAC address from the IPMI portal and reach out to an authorized vendor for this key. I used https://www.wiredzone.com/supermicro-software-management-sft-oob-lic-10024441 which took about 3 days and $25 to obtain Bios changelogs are generally not available on their website - however reaching out to technical support is usually responsive. For example 2.0a (6/23/2016) to version R2.1 (3/29/2018) 1. The ETA of next official realesed BIOS which can patch the (spectre/meltdown) security issue will be the end of October [2018]. The below R 2.1 release note is for your reference. 1. [Enhancements] Update BIOS version to 2.1. 2. [Enhancements] Update MCU of Haswell-EP C-0/C-1/M-1, Haswell-E M-0/R-2 to 000003C and Broadwell-E/EP B-0/M-0/R-0 to 0B00002A. 3. [Fixes] Fix Product minor version display incorrect in FID table. 4. [Enhancements] Add "SMBIOS Preservation" Enabled/Disabled item for flash recovery. (Refer to Purley) 5. [Enhancements] Add SUM Getsatainfo function. 6. [Enhancements] Reduce POST time.
