Stumpy

Wow, thanks ConnerVT! those are brilliant ideas, that hadnt even crossed my mind, super appreciated! I dont have many dockers that I am worried about transferring over, really I think only podgrab is the one I'd want to retain the index of files it had downloaded. Ultimately the most important thing to me is to maintain file integrity. I am hoping to set up my new box with a small zfs pool and then use unraid for smaller more important things (music, docs, photos) and then use my disks for some of my larger media. Cheers

I'd be moving about 20TB No, I can do without the current server being up for a few days / yes, it can be down for a few days Yes, I have other drives in the new server No. None of the old server drives would be going to the new server the devil is toooootally in the details. sigh.

Thanks, I looked through his videos and was able to find one video that seemed relevant but it seems to assume you will be moving the drives over as well which I hadn't planned on doing.

Thanks. Good to know thats not a totally bonkers idea as it was all I had at the moment. Certainly not the worst chore but I was hoping for something else (what that something else is I have no idea - so might be doing this)

So. I have an unraid pro box but want to move to new hardware. I am not sure how to do this as I only have one license. That is, I currently have an empty (no OS) box filled with empty drives - if I had unraid pro on both boxes I'd just move everything to the new unraid box but since I dont I am not quite sure how to best migrate. Since drives can be read even without unraid I suppose I could transfer my unraid pro license/install to the new box then install linux on the old box and then kind of move everything over drive by drive? I am thinking/hoping there is an easier way I am just not thinking about Suggestions would be super welcome!

Thank you sooooooooo very much! That (along with some user permission setup issues) worked! you have likely saved me weeks of time (as I have TB to go through).

Thanks for this plugin. I think/hope it is exactly what I need, unfortunately though it seems I am not doing something(s?) right. I want to mount a root share on one unraid box on another box but I havent been able to mount either on the other (if that makes sense). I think I was able to create a rootshare on both but when I go to the other and try to mount smb rootshare is never an option. I tried looking at the diag and am apparently getting two different errors; one box (tower) says: Jul 12 10:14:05 Tower unassigned.devices: Mounting Remote Share '//TINYTOWER/rootshare'...

I am not sure about the tower error but it seems the tinytower error is about the version of smb its using? (didnt see an option to change the version being used in settings samba?) am quite lost...

Thanks!

Well in looking around it seems that unraid has a option to mount smb or nfs shares, but for the life of me i couldnt find it on my unraid (v6.12.2). Later, after watching a spaceinvaderone video I noticed the smb | nfs | iso shares option at the bottom of his main window - but I have triple checked and I dont have any of that, only "unassigned devices" and under that "array operation": Is there something I am missing?

Doh... I shoulda seen that. I took a look and well, have a follow up question. My docker.img was 20gb and apparently 100% full so I increased it to 30GB, But when I look at container size all the dockers look somewhat normal in terms of size, but the total is 10.9GB? Am i missing something?

My docker recently failed to restart and thanks to the forum pointing out my docker storage usage I was able to temporarily resolve the issue by making my image larger, but I want to understand which docker(s?) is taking up most of the space, maybe I have some poorly configured settings? Is there somewhere in the gui or a terminal command I can see which dockers are using how much? Thanks!

Hi, this is an awesome docker/program! I was using the videos option recently on a directory and sub directories that I know have duplicates but it returned the error: "Cant not read metadata in /the/dir/with/dups, reason Permission denied (os error 13)" and said there were zero duplicates? It seems like a permissions error but I have no idea how to resolve it?

Thanks for the diagnosis. In following the link you gave I was trying to understand what deleting a docker image would do, the way its talked about it seems like its just deleting a cache or something? Lastly, is there a way I can look in the docker and figure out what is taking up so much space? Thanks again

I just recently noticed that I was getting docker errors but cant seem to figure out what exactly is the reason? I have tried restarting and looked through the forum where one fix was related to btrfs (which I am not currently using) so am a bit... stumped. I've attached the diag file if it helps. tower-diagnostics-20230626-1304.zip

Doh, thank you, I apparently missed that thread.
