Do you have any news on this? I'm having the same issue and I'm still struggling to make it works

It is working now! The array is started and I can see the progress of the sync, as you could see from the screenshot below: I had a temperature warning message regarding one of the 2 HDD, but I guess this could be normal since the pair sync is actually running. I suppose that it's better to wait until the parity sync will be completed to format the disks and start using them. Am I right?

yes I'm using firefox

Sure, this is the diagnostics archive: homeserver-diagnostics-20230428-1619.zip It is reporting almost anything

Hello, this morning I set up my array for the first time. I've created an array made of 2x12TB HDD, where one of them is dedicated to parity. When I've started the array, the parity build started. I read the build could take some times but I want to understand if it's normal that after 5 hours it still reports 0.5%. I don't see any way to check if the parity build is really running (other then checking if the process unraidd0 is running, and it is actually). Is there any logs I could check? And is it normal that it's still at 0.5% after 5h? NOTE: the estimated finish time is stuck at 13h sicne this morning, I don't think I can believe it

It's definitely what I was searching for. I hope that version will be released soon. Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks for the clarification! So I should just add the 2 devices in the 2 slots and then Unraid will automatically create the RAID1 configuration. Regarding the setup do you think it's ok to use a dedicate 2nd pool as fast-storage for the files I need more? Or is there any other more efficient way to achieve this goal? As I wrote I would use the 2 SSD of 2TB to archive files which I plan to use more and I don't wont to turn on the spinning disks to avoid delay. Is it ok?

Done. The power misurement (without GUI) reports 19watt, which is better than before but not so significant. The strange thing I notice when I connect to the server is that the CPU frequence is not 800Mhz as I was expecting, it's always at 1.2GHz even if the Governors are set in OnDemand (Normal) and PowerSave (Power Safe). I've tried to enable again pstates and the result doesn't change: with Governors sets as Performances and PowerSafe the power consumtion float from 19w to 22watt

Hello, I'm new in the Unraid world so I want to understand if my "plan" is doable or not, or even if doable I want to know if there is any strategy better then what I planned. In my server I have this disks: 2 x 500GB NVME 2 x 12TB HDD 2 x 2TB SATA SSD My "plan" is: - configure the NVME as cache for the all files which should be moved in the array by the mover, but it should also store the all the docker images I will use in my environment within the docker-required storage (container's DBs and assets) - configure the 2 SATA SSD as a storage pool which will store all files that must be accessed quickly (for example pictures and nextcloud data) - configure the 2 HDD as my array, which will store Linux ISOs, backups and similar Is this a good idea? Is it even doable? Regarding the 2 pools I have in mind: both of them should be mirrored (I would like RAID1, since both of them are made by 2 disks of the same size). It's not clear to me where (in the GUI) I can set up the in RAID1 for the 2 cache pools. Is there any reference in the doc about this? I wasn't able to find it here Thanks in advance for your help!

@mgutt I'm actually able to reach C10 with the 2x500GB Crucial P3 NVME and 1x2TB Samsung QVO SSD So this means also that the 2TB Crucial SSD seems to stop the server to go deep on C10 (with it inserted it hang on C8). Anyway, in C10 the server is using 20watt which is really strange.

I'm not sure how accurate is this statement is: "[ in the Serial Number the ] First 4 are the date code. First 2 = year, next 2 = week." If this is true, then my PSU was made in 2021, the first week (SN: 2101...) The whole system is not yet configured at all, so the NVME and SSDs are attached to the board but not configured or used in any way. I'm waiting for the 2x12TB spinning disks which I should receive later today to configure everything.

I join this thread instead of opening a new one (I don't know if this is a good idea ) Anyway I'm trying to get a less watt/h draw from the outlet but it looks like it's impossible in my case. I'm using this setup: CPU: intel core i3-12100 MoBo: GIGABYTE z690 UD DDR4 PSU: Corsair RM550x RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR4 VENGEANCE-LPX C16 3200MHz Storage: 2x500GB Crucial P3 NVME 1x2TB SSD Crucial 1x2TB SSD Patriot Without disks and in idle, the system uses 25 watt/h. With the disks attached it uses almost the same: 25 to 27 watt/h. The C-state I'm able to reach is C-8 if I remove the SSD Patriot (I'm planning to change it with a Samsung Evo tomorrow to see if there is any difference), if not it hang on C-6. It's not too bad, right? So why is it using so much power? From this link here I see that a user with almost the same setup as mine (he was using an i5-12gen instead of i3-12gen) - using Unraid - is able to achieve 13.5watt. How that is possible? I've put the intel_pstate in passive mode, but nothing changed honestly. I've scaled the governor to PowerSave (in both normal and powersave settings, in order to always use powersave settings) but nothing changed. Now I set the Normal Scaling Governor in OnDemand and PowerSave governor in PowerSave. Regarding the ASPM status, everything looks fine to me except for the error pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: No such device : root@HomeServer:~# lspci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )' 00:1a.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device 7ac8 (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) LnkCap: Port #25, Speed 16GT/s, Width x4, ASPM L1, Exit Latency L1 <64us LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ 00:1b.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device 7ac0 (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) LnkCap: Port #17, Speed 8GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Exit Latency L0s <1us, L1 <4us LnkCtl: ASPM L0s L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk- 00:1b.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device 7ac4 (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) LnkCap: Port #21, Speed 16GT/s, Width x4, ASPM L1, Exit Latency L1 <64us LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S PCH PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) LnkCap: Port #1, Speed 8GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Exit Latency L0s <1us, L1 <4us LnkCtl: ASPM L0s L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk- 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device 7aba (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) LnkCap: Port #3, Speed 8GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L1, Exit Latency L1 <64us LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ 01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Micron/Crucial Technology P2 NVMe PCIe SSD (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) LnkCap: Port #1, Speed 8GT/s, Width x4, ASPM L1, Exit Latency L1 unlimited LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: No such device 03:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Micron/Crucial Technology P2 NVMe PCIe SSD (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) LnkCap: Port #1, Speed 8GT/s, Width x4, ASPM L1, Exit Latency L1 unlimited LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
