Have an SSD on the way to replace my spinning cache drive. Ive read conflicting posts about trim and trim support, so just wanted to check if using BTFRS and 6.4.1, do i need the trim plug in or anything else, or will trim be taken care of using this combo? Thanks

ok, ive done it, - hold head in shame as its simple, and i have been making it hard, complicating all these different mount points - gotta remember its all relative to what you have mapped. I stripped all the mapping i had to /mnt/cache and /mnt/user (why are they default on the docker template!? and then created a new mapping as suggested for /tv, which goes to /mnt/user/media/HD TV then, changed all my tv episodes in sonar to point to /tv/tvepisodname instead of /mnt/user/media/HD TV/episodename. Forced a new download, and now it goes to the download/incomplete folder, unpacks to the download complete folder, sonar then goes to the downloads complete folder, and pulls this over to the /tv mount point in the docker, and there is no race of it on the cache drive. YYESS! thanks mutely for that, i couldn't see the wood for the trees, and its actually much simpler than i was making it!

thanks, im using sab rather than NZBGet which seems to have the concept of a temp download folder called incomplete, and then a completed folder called complete. so my download directory has these 2 sub directories - complete and incomplete Do i need to simplify this first, and just have the one download folder, and have sab download to here, and extract to here? With my media share, i have /tv and /movies under this share, do i need to go back and create separate shares for both tv and movies? here is whats setup now... Sab Download folder when sonaar sends its file to sab, it uses category 'sonaar' I remember it taking a while to get this working a long time ago, so not surprised if its not optimally setup Where do i go from here?

all sorted, new parity installed, then moved some data about to free up a disk, reformatted all disks to xfs, Put another 3tb in, and now waiting on Amazon to send me an SSD to replace the spinner im using for cache - thanks for the help with this, took a while with all the copying of data and parity checks etc, but got it done!

Had fun over the past few days upgrading my parity to a 3tb, putting in another 3tb, and reformatting all disks to ifs from rfs. Im messing about with my shares and stuff now, and getting p1ssed off! I have a share called downloads - its set to use Cache Disk Only I have a share called media - its set to include All disks (i have a global exclusion for disk 3, its my AFS share for Time Machine) Problem i have is... I use Sonnar to download a TV episode The download quite rightly goes into the download share (into the incomplete folder) - sabnzbd is putting the files here. The download completes, extracts to the downloads share 'complete' folder, tab is again doing this. Sonaar then is supposed to copy this data over to the media share on the array, and while it creates the folder and actually copies SOME bits of the download (subtitles, jpeg etc) the actual MKV is still stuck on the cache drive. If i browse the media share, i see the file OK, but looking directly on the cache disk, the file is in there. Why is this happening - all i want is do download and extract to the cache drive share 'downloads', and then send over to the array.

great thanks,

Ok great - thanks for that Will the newly inserted disk assume the role of the parity disk, or will the array not start due to parity being removed hence no need to disable autostart?

Got some errors now on an ageing 1tb Hitachi disk which is the parity drive, so i ordered a 3tb WD Red to replace it. For the parity replacement, am i correct in: Set array not to auto start Stop array Shutdown Remove current parity disk Insert new disk Power up Make the new disk the parity disk Start array Wait for parity to rebuild Secondly, i have a second 3tb disk from another machine i can now use in the system after i upgrade the parity to 3tb. Bit confused about the file formatting and stuff with this one. Do i follow the same process as above, can i just select the file format (xfs) and then when reformatted, parity will rebuild and job done - bear in mind the rest of the array is reiserfs, or won't i get the option, and putting in the new drive with auto format with the file system on the rest of the array. All other disks are 1tb in the array. Thanks Rich

thanks for coming back to me, i just couldn't work out why these folders were left in this location and not removed once they have moved to the backup location. I thought it was a fault, so i read a few posts and upgraded to v2 of the ca backup plugin - which isn't doing the same thing, so once problem sorted - although i don't think that the backup of USB drive will create new folders for each date it is backed up?

Im using CA Backup / Restore Appdata to backup appdata share, When it runs, it seems to create 2 folders in the root of the appdata share that i can only remove via CLI - these are: Community_Applications_USB_Backup Community_Applications_VM_XML_Backup Permissions don't let me even open the USB Backup folder when browsing the appdata share, All the data seems to copy fine as part of the backup to the destination share, its just annoying that it leaves these 2 folders behind!

Been having a long time issue with Time Machine on unraid Im backing up a single Mac to my time machine share, and 9 times out of 10, it fails with the error: Occasionally, time machine will back up OK, but 9 times out of 10, i have too reboot the server. I understand from other posts that by looking in the open files, there are some afpd entries (as im looking at the moment, there are 2 of them in open files, each with a different PID) afpd PID 4400 /mnt/user/timemachine (working directory) /mnt/user/timemachine/Richard\xe2\x80\x99s iMac.sparsebundle/token afpd PID 10321 /mnt/user/timemachine (working directory) /mnt/user/timemachine/Richard\xe2\x80\x99s iMac.sparsebundle/token Ive just killed PID 4400, and started to run a backup, and it doesn't backup at all. Ive killed the second PID 10321, and tried a backup again and it doesn't backup, Lastly tried switching afp off (shows 3 connected users) and when back on again - it cleared out the connected users, then tried to backup again and it works! (just as it does if i reboot) This is the only afp share on my unraid system, and here are my settings below - any ideas as its a real pain in the rear

Seems ubiquiti have launched a new app to manage their non unifi devices, so edgerouters, switches etc. Be great if someone was able to set this up to work in unraid seems that ubiquiti have already built it as a docker, info on GitHub here

Ive done as above - so made sure 8080 is available for Unifi, and it works perfectly.

got it working Whats needed is a config.properties file in appdata/unifi/data/sites/default create the file, and in there, add the single line: config.ntp_server=NameServer Once this is in the above directory, make a change to your AP to force a provision, and your new NTP settings will upload. if you want to check the before and after, ssh onto your AP using your unifi controller username/password run egrep ntp /tmp/running.cfg to see current NTP settings, and then run the same again after putting in the config.properties file into your sites folder and you should see your new NTP Server settings

Thanks for replying, I have the NTP set on my unraid server to my internal NTP Server. Its not actually the Unifi Controller itself thats making the NTP calls, its the actual access point that keeps talking to 0.ubnt.pool.ntp.org and i assumed that this config was in the unifi controller somewhere, which gets pushed to the access point when provisioning

Hi, got the docker up n running and controlling an AC Pro, really great docker. For info, i have also mapped port 6789 to my own docker instance which now allows me to run the app on the iPhone, and perform a speed test to test your throughput. The speediest to your controller needed the port 6789 bit, nice to check your getting good throughput on your network and not using an internet speed tester... I had a question about NTP - my unify docker is going to 0.ubnt.pool.ntp.org all the time for its NTP, and i have NTP running internally on my network with all my other devices pointing at my NTP Server, but i can't work out how to change the docker so i can point the NTP to my internal server. I saw some stuff about a config.properties file which i don't seem to find. Anyone have any ideas on how i could change this? Thanks

Happy new year all! I have an odd one i can't get rid off. In OSX, when i browse the list of shares available on my device, i have a share name that doesn't actually exist on the device, and if i click on the share to open it i get an error message about the original item cant be found. The share is called Download - but i don't have a share called that anywhere, and like i say, if i click on it, it errors. Is there a way to get rid of they anywhere? Is it stuck in a file on the device and i can edit it out? Thanks

IT WORKS! believe it or not, it was my firewall - i have a Draytek fw/router with some funny settings on for url and content filtering, and something in there was stopping it Disabled while i installed, and works a treat!

still the same also deleted stuff from /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/ related to sabnzbd. each time i run the install, this zero kb file - SABnzbd--src.tar.gz in /packages

just noticed, in the packages folder, i have SABnzbd--src.tar.gz file, but its zero kb in size

Sabnzbd, 1.5.3 - running unraid 5.0.6 i already have a packages folder in the root of my flash drive, with a load of stuff in it

Hi, I removed all my old influencer stab stuff, and tried to install your new plugin. Whenever i go to the settings page, and tell the plugin where to install the files to, it tries to install, and then fails with an MD5 checksum error? Any ideas?

many thanks for coming back to me. Im just in the process now of moving my stuff from Disk 3 into disks 1 and 3 and this will free up disk 3 for me. Good idea on the direct to disk, will go for this method thanks. with the Include/Exclude, I'e gone into all existing shares and told them all to exclude disk 3. I assume that if i wanted one share to have include settings, and another to have exclude settings, this would be OK? As long and include and exclude are not used on the same share?

Hi Been running for a while now, with 3 1tb disks and a 1tb for parity. Had all my shares spanning all of the disks which has worked fine for me. Ive decided to use time machine to backup to the Nas, and read that i should set it so that the Time Machine share only uses one disk. So, i have gone though all my shares, and set all other shares to exclude disk 3, and then the time machine share to only include disk 3. The issue i see, is that only new files will follow these new settings, so how do i go about moving all the stuff from disk 3 that now needs to be distributed between disks 1 and 2 only? Thanks

Probably me, but I was running v5 with pro ftp installed Updated to 5.05 and have dynamix installed Noticed the original ftp server is still running, along with proftp Do I need to uninstall it somehow? Thanks
