I'm trying to install an LSI 9211-8i in my system, but I'm not seeing it whatsoever during bootup. None of the lights on the card turn on at all. I made a FreeDOS drive and when I ran the sas2flsh -listall command line, I get a "PAL not initialized" error (or very similar to that wording). I attempted to create a sas2flash efi thumb drive, but it does absolutely nothing - it literally boots direct into the BIOS. I can't find anything in the BIOS itself that shows what's plugged into the motherboard, which is only the 9211, btw. Any ideas?

Actually, I found the correct fix for it in this thread:

Just getting my system back up and running after switching from OpenMediaVault. I have all of my shares set up, with full permissions on everything and the owner as Root. When the system tries to import a newly downloaded file, I get a permission denied. The log entry is below. Hoping for a quick and easy fix. Couldn't import episode /mnt/download/completed/Series/The.Voice.S06E10.720p.HDTV-Obfuscated/5d86b8c037810b914d78028f16925e89d01db353.mkv: Access to the path "/mnt/tvshows/The Voice/The Voice - Season 06/The Voice - s06e10 - The Battles, Round 1 (4).mkv" is denied.

When I first tried, the array drives were rock solid. It wasn't until I added a parity drive, also on USB, that the problems surfaced. Now I'm thinking about trying it again, but with the parity drive on one of the on-board SATA ports.

Ok, that's sort of what I figured. On my initial trial, it seemed to run great until I added the parity drive, but I also added a cache drive at the same time. I'll just stay with OMV until I can get all of my drives attached via SAS/SATA.

No one?

I attempted to set up an Unraid server using my current setup, which consists of 3 Lenovo ThinkCenter M600 pcs (8gb ram, I5-N3700 cpu). These are thin clients, ultra-compact with no expansion capabilities. My drives are in a 5-bay USB3 enclosure, and it works fine under OpenMediaVault. In fact, it was fin in Unraid until I added a m.2 SATA cache drive & plugged in a separate 8Tb usb drive for parity. The 3 machines each run specific services to spread out the entire server load. I'm buying a new-to-me Dell Optiplex 7050 MT with an i7-7700 and 40-48Gb of RAM. The plan is to eventually move the motherboard to a standard case (yes, it will fit), along with an IT-mode LSI SAS controller, but for right now, I have to use the same USB3 enclosure. The question is if Unraid should be more stable in the much more powerful machine, while still using the USB drives. I can install a SATA drive internal for parity, along with an NVME cache drive (single). With the original setup (m600 thin pc), I would lose access to the shares after 5-10 minutes, forcing a restart of the server and all of the machines using those shares. No, USB isn't perfect, but I'm on a budget and have to baby-step my upgrades. If it's not recommended, I can stick with OMV until it's been transplanted and has the drives directly connected.

To start with, I'm pretty new to Unraid. I have a 6-disk array and added a cache this evening. I apparently used the wrong cache settings for the shares, so it moved everything to the cache drive. Now, I have no shared folders available and none of my Dockers work (Server error). How do I get them back? I tried copying the folders from the Cache drive, but nothing works.

Fixed Cause: My own stupidity Reason: I put the static IP address of the unraid box instead of the router address.... Feel free to point and laugh

I attempted to install Unraid a few days ago, but was having issues with my entire system, preventing me from getting anything accomplished whatsoever. With suggestions from a Facebook group, I was told to just reflash the USB key, which I did. Well, now I can't get back into my trial. When I click "Start Trial", it says "Download Error 4". Other than using a completely different USB key, what are my options?
